    The first pokemon game I have ever played, and honestly, I have enjoyed it a lot. It has a been a fun new experience for me. Good gameplay, cute graphics, pretty cool story.

    es el juego de pokemon que más me ha gustado de Nintendo switch, aunque haya sido un refrito lo terminé disfrutando de todas formas, hubiera mejorado si no quitaban las islas y que opcionalmente se pudiera combatir contra los Pokémon salvajes

    My favorite pokemon game, i love that it lets you use the pokemon you caught in so many different ways to interact with your environment, it feels very natural in the ways you can catch a pokemon take it out of it's PokeBall and ride it or fly on it.

    Pokemon: Let's Go Eevee me ha gustado mucho más de lo esperado. Un remake de los clásicos Rojo, Azul y Amarillo precioso, con gráficos y animaciones muy buenas y 3D.

    Very casual games, but with pokemon, that's not a problem for me at all. The graphics are kinda nice, the music is outstanding and they absolutely nailed ride and following pokemon (and then forgot how to do it in SwSh and BDSP), wich shouldn't mean so much to me, but it does. It also really nicely remixes the original encounter tables and introduces overworld pokemon to the series!

    One of the best that Game Freak made, super infantilized and easy, but cute and funny
    A acceptable debut of the awesome main saga for a new console.

    The best game on Switch, for the sake of it I took the console and was not disappointed at all, a super high-quality reworked game with the GBA, which is a pleasure to return to and spend a couple of hundred hours... again

    I love the changes they've added in here to make this title more casual friendly. I love the pokemon series and have played since red and blue but sometimes it can be frustrating when you just want a relaxing stroll through the world. The lets go games scratch that itch and tide me over between the more standard titles.

    Una good way to re-explore the Kanto region with new cute and very colourful graphics. The mechanics of capturing pokémon are the ones used in Pokémon Go, but it’s a very enjoyable game.

    Pokemon lets go is the best way to play gen 1, catching pokemon feels great, graphics are incredible, controls are decent, Seeing pokemon in the overworld is a great addition which I hope stays in the main line games, You cannot use the pro controller which is a minor downside, Your starter cannot evolve which is kinda sad, but it stays true to pokemon yellow. I give this game a 10/10.

    Un juego que trae una serie de mecánicas nuevas e interactivas al RPG de Pokemon. Se nota que este Pokemon está hecho con mimo y cuidado, y no tiene nada que envidiar a las demas entregas.

    Vive Kanto una vez más como nunca antes, y disfruta de este gran juego. Por fin tenemos a Eevee como inicial!!

    Pikachu and Eve are cute.
    I think it is more fun than Pokemon sod shield.
    If you do it at first, you might be a little embarrassed because you catch Pokemon without a battle, but it's fun in its own way.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This entry is targeted for newcomers to the series and GameFreak made no excuses.
    If you haven't ever picked up a Pokemon game or have maybe tried out the Pokemon Go experience than this would be the game for you.
    Veterans would have to wait fo Sword and Shield to come out and take a bite out of it.

    The game is great on many levels- visuals, animation, music, pokemon's looks amazing on the TV.
    Probably the biggest nerf in the game compared to any other Pokemon game out there is the fact that you do not battle the wild pokemon's you encounter in the wild- you simply catch them. And that for me was the biggest minus because it takes away from the "fun grinding" that is Pokemon. You have to fight to catch them.

    Beyond that the story of Let's go plays out much like it's original with a few changes to make it easier for the new players.

    The battles in the game are actually quite great and exciting and they look amazing as well. One thing that I found to be made easier but to no purpose was the fact that most of the people you battle along the roads have only one (maximum 2) pokemon's, witch makes the battle seem a bit easy.
    The Gym leaders and their followers do add a bit of extra challenge to the mix and the Elite Four are quite the treat and a true test of the skills you have acquired along the way.

    All in all this might not be a game for the fans of the franchise, but newcomers will find it the best introduction to the series yet.    … Expand

    This game isn't perfect but is really good. It's essentially a modern console remake of red/blue/yellow with the battle system of Pokemon Go for wild encounters. Instead of battling them to low health and throwing poke-balls at them you just throw poke-balls at them based on timing. If it weren't for not being able to battle wild pokemon I would rate a 10.

    These are enjoyable games for what they are. We could've done without another Kanto remake, but Game Freak made it really pop in full hd and Kanto looks the best it has ever looked, and some places look downright fantastic to look at.

    It seems appropriate that the first game I complete on this journey back into Pokemon should be Pokemon Let’s Go Eevee.

This is essentially a retelling of the first pokemon game ever created, but with simplified features from the Pokemon Go mobile game. I think it was an excellent introduction back into the series, as it largely had aspects of a full-fledged pokemon game but with simplified mechanics and progression. These were refreshing when compared to the stressful, convoluted mechanics behind most pokemon games, that normally caused me to abandon them when I played before.

    I absolutely loved my time here. Catching all of the pokemon was very fun and while I missed battling being a primary focus of the game, I appreciated that the new catching mechanics made accomplishing goals more streamlined, like getting high IV pokemon. This was vastly superior to the traditional, obsessive breeding chains that most other pokemon games have. Additionally, catching was more skill based than before, with motion controls for throwing the pokeball and having to track the movements of the pokemon to catch them. Overall, it made catching, one of the less-focused aspects of pokemon (perhaps ironically), a major, fun draw of the game.

    What this meant for me was that, for the first time in series history, I was able to accomplish my goals in the game. I completed the pokedex, I created a high-IV team of my own and leveled them to 100, I was able to complete all the post-game content I wanted to thanks to this team, and I was able to acquire all the post-game items. This is the first time I felt those goals were reachable, instead of being behind a long and torturous game mechanics wall. The game was straightforward to play, something I appreciate in my modern life, and all of these new aspects meant the game was fun instead of tedious. The risk/reward system behind trying to keep a chain of catches going was crazy exciting to me and I sometimes found myself performing them just for the fun of it. I am so glad that I got back into one of my favorite genres of games and am very much looking forward to other pokemon games releasing in the future.    … Expand

    While this is a neat idea which is merging Pokemon Go and Pokemon Yellow together I think Lets Go is more of gateway for Pokmeon Go fans to become regular Pokemon fans. Gamefreak didn't put as much effort into this as they should of. While the game is fun to play in my opinion this is 4th Underwhelming game in a row (X&Y, Oras, US&M, LGP&E)

You can also pet your eevee, for all of the 3 year olds out there. I like that catching pokemon gives more exp, because it gives me a reason to buy pokeballs besides a tm slave and trying to get a shiny weedle. Overall, a good game. You gotta pick this one for all the pokemon fans out there. I would also highly recommend Pokemon White, that game is awesome, not like the one with reshiram, the **** legendary pokemon in the game.

    Overall, I did have a blast playing Pokémon Let’s Go Eevee. I did like visiting all the cities of the original Pokémon games again and seeing all the original Pokémon. However, I really did not like how they changed how you capture Pokémon and I did not like the setup of the Pokémon boxes. For those who want to play this game for nostalgia reasons, I would recommend waiting until a sale comes out before purchasing. For newcomers to Pokémon, this is a really good introduction into the world of Kanto.

    It’s hard to make sense of the game that’s basically a Switch port of iOS/Android remake of Pokemon Red/Green. Is it a step forward, step backward – or maybe just a shameless cash-in? Turns out, it’s a great remake – the world looks exactly as we imagined it back when we were staring at black and white pixels of original Red/Green. [Issue#235, p.44]
