    Personally, I was a bit disappointed with this game, as the new catching system being taken from Pokemon GO is a bit boring to me, and the lack of wild battles, while this means that you don't anymore get angry from the constant attack of Zubats or other kinds of bat Pokemon, it also means you can also get angry during the process of catching all the Pokemon, and not being able to find aPersonally, I was a bit disappointed with this game, as the new catching system being taken from Pokemon GO is a bit boring to me, and the lack of wild battles, while this means that you don't anymore get angry from the constant attack of Zubats or other kinds of bat Pokemon, it also means you can also get angry during the process of catching all the Pokemon, and not being able to find a certain Pokemon, for me, that was Chansey. However, it looks stunning, it isn't glitchy, it has many different outfits which is always nice. My personal score is a 6 or 7 out of ten, depending on the day, but I do believe that you SHOULD play this game if you are a fan of the fantastic series we call Pokemon, also, don't listen to the people saying that this game is bad, it is a stunning game and if you asked me to 100% this before generations 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 (Not Gen 5 because that is my personal favourite), I would probably say yes to that. it is a highly recommended game on the Nintendo Switch.
    But Nintendo, if you're for some reason reading this, I would really like to see a blend of the old catching mechanic and the new one, where you can fight it first with the old Pokemon mechanics, then you can attempt to catch it with the Pokemon GO mechanics or faint it.    … Expand

    I. loved. these. games. LGPE is a wonderfully nostalgic, heartwarming remake of my favorite pokemon generation. I was hesitant at first that ending wild pokemon battles would compromise the game's playability, but I actually ended up liking the new mechanic, a lot more than wild battles. they could make it a little more complex, but I do like the catching mechanic. I wont deny that LGPE are easy, but they are also FUN. The only thing I would like to see improved is post-game content. there's completing the pokedex, shiny pokemon hunting and the master trainers which are all great, but I would have liked to see the Sevii islands like in Fire Red and Leaf Green.

    these 0/10 reviews are bogus. Nintendo has been upfront since day one of the release, stating it would be a game to introduce new players (young, old, and yes Pokemon GO players) into pokemon console gaming. People don't realize that this was an EXTRA pokemon game release, we normally only get a new game every two years. we got USUM in 2017, LGPE this year and we're getting the new generation in 2019... if you don't want to buy the game then don't. Nintendo thought outside of the box with this new concept, and it's clearly paid off. so continue to complain as much as you want, but it looks like this is going to end up becoming a core series along side the new generations of pokemon games, and I will happily be first in line getting each new remake.    … Expand

While some parts are innovative and look as though they're moving the game forward, when in reality, the game just takes several steps back.

    With wonky motion controls for throwing pokeballs, simplistic needs such as pokeballs and potions being the only necessary purchases, catching pokemon being the most efficient way to leveling up encouraging less combat, most trainers having just one pokemon minimizes combat, the removal of passives making the combat less dynamic, unable to evolve your main pokemon, the removal of breeding, the removal of the slot machines and prizes in the game center, the removal of the safari, the addition of pokemon go which is something I don't even play, the lack of online play unless you have nintendo switch online which you have never needed before for pokemon games, no pro controller support, the lack of save data backup, the most expensive pokemon game, the pokemon game with the least content to date, and more.

    While playing this game I've hardly felt any thrill, a very mediocre experience to sum it up. TL;DR, This game is more fitting for the fans of the anime series, rather then the game series.    … Expand

    Pokemon LGPE is the moment the franchise lost all it's heart and substance. Sure it's cute with the starter pokemon interactions, but the rest of the game is a bare bones even more simplistic take on what has been done twice already. (RBY, and FRLG).

Not to mention the clearly shoehorned on GO mechanics. I'm not sure why they went with this, GO players are unlikely to buy a whole new console for a game aimed squarely at them. By taking out one of the most basic and classic mechanics of the game (battling wild pokemon) they have alienated a lot of the fanbase.

    Then there is the graphical element, it's barely different to a 3DS game. They could have done so much more with this but just wanted to throw out a quick game to appease a new demographic, not their long term fans. The wild pokemon don't even look like they belong in their environments, it's like something you would expect from a free mobile game. Mew is only obtainable if you buy a £50 controller. The game randomly slows down for seemingly no reason, I doubt this is a game pushing the Switch to its limits.

    Only 151 pokemon available (153 with the Meltan from GO), no natures, no held items, no abilities, no contests, no battle frontier. If they had to do Kanto again, a proper sequel after 20 years would have been perfect, including all the features above along with others I haven't mentioned.

    Pokemon games have never been hard, but this one takes it to the extreme. For the first gym, they won't even let you in without having a grass or water type on your team. Your box is available at all times meaning using items is pointless. Pokeballs are handed to you constantly. Poison has no effect outside of battle. Basically any fun and challenge has been removed from the game. Kids didn't need this handholding in 1999, why do they need it now?

    Overall it's just a very lazily made game aimed at people who probably won't buy it anyway. If the next main series games are anything like this, I will have to say goodbye to the franchise, even after 20 years.    … Expand

But your partner Pokémon is definitely overpowered, and you'll find the battle mechanics throwing some freebies at you (random attack evasion, paralyze healing...). One of the best additions is that basically DVs are now visible, which means you can quite transparently see if a Pokémon will be a good fit with its stats. Wild PKMN on the overworld makes the experience less frustrating and more engaging. Just as in the last installments, HMs are gone (subsituted here by your partner). Held items and abilities are absent, and this is one of the most tragic flaws to anyone who isn't a newcomer, since it removes some of the important tactical depth which really wasn't necessary. Graphics are neat, but could've definitely been better, and there is no excuse to why this runs @ 30fps. Soundtrack remix is well done.

    Despite the lack of additional areas, there is actually quite a lot of endgame content. There are definitely more than enough strong challengers with the new Master Trainer system, rebattles and others. The Master Trainers could've been better implemented (you'll find yourself 1v1 Weedle @ Lv.65).

    This is a decent, but foremost daring remake. Most of the newly introduced aspects are keepers, while we definitely want to get back our removed tactical layers. Local co-op is pointless as it makes the game only easier. There is no denying this is in some obvious aspects a watered-down, simplified experience, which also lacks (almost) all Pokémon of later generations. On the other hand, you get the best-looking Kanto with reduced frustration (no HMs, no random battles), greater variety of wild encounters, topped with some neat surprise extras. While FR/LG might still be more recommendable to core gamers, Let´s Go is worth checking out for any Kanto lovers.

    Before I start I want to make clear that I´m not a competitive pokemon player so I´m merely looking at the "fun" factor, which definitely makes this one worth buying even though it is has it´s flaws.

    I´ll try to be as objective as I can but bare in mind I´m looking at this game as someone who started playing when Pokemon Blue came out and I played every version except Sun/Moon, but    Before I start I want to make clear that I´m not a competitive pokemon player so I´m merely looking at the "fun" factor, which definitely makes this one worth buying even though it is has it´s flaws.

    I´ll try to be as objective as I can but bare in mind I´m looking at this game as someone who started playing when Pokemon Blue came out and I played every version except Sun/Moon, but again, never as a competitive player so I won´t say anything about balancing in PvP.

    Pros:
    -no more HM slaves needed
    -no more random encounter frustration, you can now see the pokemon in the grass, helps both with catching what you want and immersion, it was always weird how 3m tall pokemon could hide in a knee deep bush
    -flying high makes traveling easier
    -definitely more challenging than the last pokemon game I played (which was Y)
    -even though I didn´t like Pokemon GO I thought the catch mechanics are surprisingly fun
    -characters actually acknowledge you as the champion after beating the elite four
    -chain catching pokemon makes the wanted pokemon spawn in a higher rate, making grinding less time consuming
    -I personally didn´t like the item holding mechanics of previous games, so I´m glad it´s gone but this is really just my own taste
    -graphics (textures, attack effects, models) look more polished and less "cheap 3D" than the last title I´ve played (again Pokemon Y)

    Cons:
    -even though harder than previous titles it is still way too easy
    -shared XP can´t be turned off
    -even though flying high is neat it is wonky to turn off and on, you have to press at least 7 buttons and navigate through 2 menus to get your pokemon in and out of the pokeball to start and stop flying high
    -having to buy a 20€ pokeball controller to get Mew is kind of an ass move, but it´s not necessary to have Mew to complete the pokedex and get the end game charm so I don´t really care
    -master trainers do not provide enough entertainment to really count as end game content
    -overall end game content is rather short, after beating the elite four I had to catch/evolve ~50 more pokemon to finish the pokedex and I could do it in two afternoons
    -at parts like silph co there are way too many trainers, makes the game feel extremely slow, instead of 6 trainers who fight you with one or 2 pokemon they should have 2 trainers with 6 pokemon, makes the game more difficult and you have to wait through fewer transition screens
    -the rival is not a rival, there is no dynamic between the main character and him and no real emotion (more believable characters please)

    Overall I had more fun with this game than with any other pokemon game in a very long time, even though some things like the uninteresting rival felt unnecessary.    … Expand

I saw how wrong I was to have judged a game, only by a few traillers, condemning the changes, without even experiencing them. I was captivated by the game. I had fun in a Pokémon game, something that had not happened for years, since there was no fun in the others, which were more centered, so to speak. Let's Go Pikachu was a fun experience and decides to buy the Eevee version, as I found the Eevee cute and got the female with the heart-shaped spot on the tail.

    On one side there are those who love the competitive side of Pokémon: the ones that experiment with moves and abilities, held items and stats, and how they can make their favorite Pokémon the strongest they can be. Then on the other side there are those that simply enjoy seeing and catching Pokémon, playing the game just for fun without thinking about how useful their Pokémon is. The typical more advanced RPG elements are not important to them, as long as their Pokémon can defeat the Elite Four, it's all that matters.
    This game is purely catered to the later half of the fanbase and newcomers that do not care, or even know about the competitive aspects of the mainline Pokémon games because they removed it all. Is this a bad thing? For this game alone? No. From the very beginning the developers have stated that this game was made for beginners and those who haven't played Pokemon since their childhood and probably only played Pokémon Go. Although, if they remove it all permanently for all future games, to me personally as a competitive player, that would be bad, really bad.

    I'll start by saying that this game is incredibly easy, too easy for a kid that just learned how to read, even. For some reason, developers nowadays think kids are dumb, when it was kids back in the 90s that played Pokemon RBY that somewhat struggled but learned how to defeat Brock on their own, figuring how types a la Rock-Paper-Scissors work without someone having to constantly tell them and that was an achievement to be proud of.
    This game is super hand-holding to the point it becomes infuriating. It doesn't help that your "rival" can hardly even be considered that, given the fact that he helps you more than challenge you. There's also the fact that your OP starter is all you need, regardless of what foe you face. it's like putting kids in their comfort zone, laying a warm, soft blanket over them and don't let them have a challenge they need to improve which, as the game goes on, makes the whole experience mundane and boring as there's nothing new, ever.
    To make matters even worse, even if they had put in wild Pokémon battles, it wouldn't change the difficulty of the game at all. You carry ALL your Pokémon with you, at all times, which means that even if your party was severely wounded and you only have 1 Pokémon in your party standing and have no healing items to use, you could just swap your team out with a new one wherever you are. And if that wasn't easy enough, you can always play as 2 people and wreck literally any trainer in the game with a 2 on 1 battle. Always winning isn't fun.

    The game also has major issues with performance. I always knew Game Freak was terrible at optimizing their games, but a game with upscaled 3DS graphics and 1k to 512 texture resolutions with no normal mapping should NOT drop in frames as often as this game on the Nintendo Switch. They even downscaled the shadows in hopes of fixing the issue.

    Another terrible, terrible choice was the forced motion controls. How can you tell a disabled kid that got the game on Christmas that it can't play the game docked because it can barely swing the Joy-Con to catch a Pokémon or pet their Eevee? Or an amputee that only plays with their legs? This is a turn-based RPG, Game Freak, everyone should be able to play a turn-based RPG, everyone.

    Despite all this, the game does have things I enjoy and wish would be a standard for every Pokémon mainline game to come.
    Pokémon can follow you now, and be interacted with. Some even allow you to ride on them which is really, really cool, especially if you ride on a Dragonite or Charizard and fly to your heart's content. Fans have wanted this for a long, long time.
    Random battles are replaced with on-map encounters. Now instead of constantly spraying yourself with Repels, you can decide yourself whether to encounter a wild Pokémon or not. However, if they decide to add this in future games, I wish they would also make some wild Pokémon aggressive and run/fly/swim towards you so that you have a reason to buy repels or be good at dodging.
    Catching Pokémon is nice, being able to "immerse" yourself and throw the Pokéball instead of watching an animation doing it for you is great. However, they should absolutely not force motion controls. In undocked mode you can throw balls without motion controls and I still do not understand why they're forced in docked mode. Not cool.
    The removal of HMs just like in Pokémon Sun/Moon is great and should stay.
    Chaining catches to have a better chance of finding better and shiny Pokémon is neat! It gives a new meaning to mindlessly catching any Pokémon you see.

    So in the end, you'll either really love Let's Go or you'll not enjoy it as much. I'm sadly on the latter side, but it's not a terrible game, either, it's just a bit boring.    … Expand

I decided to give them a chance for the "junk game," as many people said, and I discovered that they were just blind haters. Because when playing, I was excited. My niece had Let's Go Eevee and as I played, I was overwhelmed by a strong feeling of nostalgia and I became excited with each catch, interact with the Pokémon, they followed you, being the difference interactions. I decided to buy Let's Go Eevee to have a game of mine and not have to make an excuse to stay at my sister's house when I wanted to play. I started playing in my house and I was falling in love. Soon I saw that the criticisms I read so much were unfounded and the result of haters, which only turned away hatred blind and intense. I researched and saw that it would be a parallel line of games and I loved that idea. It will have the traditional line and this parallel. I was thrilled when my world expanded at the end of the Elite Four. Seriously, I was happy when I saw myself flying high in the sky, crossing the map at will on the back of my Charizard. Seeing everything from above was indescribable and the challenge of the Masters, very challenging. I thought to pass them and luckily, I bought pokéball plus. I was able to challenge Mew's master. I finished Let's Go Eevee, I bought Let's Go Pikachu. I'm in Elite Four and I barely see the time of my world being expanded. I super indicate this game and I ask to ignore the haters. Give the game a chance, just like I did and I'm glad I gave it a chance, otherwise I would have missed a fun and exciting game. I never had fun in a game of pokémon, as it was in these games.

    - Lazy textures
    - Need a friend with Pikachu version if you want to catch every available pokemon
    - Meltan grind (seriously 8 weeks)
    - Your party is always over-levelled/over-powered making the game too easy
    - Poor online
    - occasional impossible to catch pokemon to break your combo chain
    --- very bad motion controls (Joycon)

    Pokemon (Let's) Go, is basically Generation 1 pokemon + Pokemon Go combined, and generally for the most part it works pretty good, the graphics in some areas are a little lazy especially with some trainers clothing having just flat drawn on textures but this isn't the reason to play, its all about catching em all and Lets go gives the player to re-explore the Kanto region with the power of the switch, and new players to discover something new.

    My biggest issue with the game is the poor motion controls, everyone has played POGO and had wild ball throws occasionally, well that happens just as much....if not worse in this game and it does get very aggravating especially during a large combo chain and you don't want to mess up losing valuable time in your hunt for shiny pokemon! But unfortunately, it isn't a matter of when it'll happen...just a matter how often it will happen and its too frequently - this is with joycon controls not to mention even some motion latency on making the gesture then a full second or longer for the game to register the gesture in-game which for a game that heavily uses motions controls isn't good and heavily lets the game down for me. The controller issue isn't a problem if you purchased the overpriced controller, which begs the question are the motion controls bad for that very reason?

    Overall, Pokemon Lets go isn't a bad game, its charming fun and it has some nice touches here and there, but its not perfect and a few issues really hold it back from being better. I would honestly say, this is worth it for people like me who can't play POGO because of rural or in areas where POGO is difficult to play, this game is perfect for kids, easy to pick up and play but just remember, it isn't perfect and a few issues occasionally appear which add some frustrating elements.    … Expand

In the end I would have liked to see the Sevii Islands from Fire/Leaf, but since that was used to let players get newer Pokemon it would not have made much sense to add them in without overhauling them greatly.

The Lack of a safari zone is a little on the rough side, but the entire game is a safari zone.
    Honestly, though this game does a few things right. It makes a situation that old time Pokemon Fans and Pokemon go Players can just jump right in. It also brings in the ability to re-battle gym leaders and omg it brings in Green. Honestly petting Eevee in this game felt like another pokemon amie session. Not saying that's bad, as eevee is adorable in this game. What this game lacks in some features is offset by the careful craftsmanship and attention to detail in this game. Yes, it's a Yellow remake and a faithful one of that. You didn't have a bunch of other pokemon clouding you in you didn't have abilities to worry about. You just play the game.
    I didn't like the rival, but it was fun picking on the guy. It felt like a role reversal. He felt like Hau. I personally named him after some of my friends just so I can pick on them saying I'm beating them. As he was just too much of a friend and not enough of Blue or Silver. Speaking of Blue you do run into him and battle him which is great, and honestly, his attitude isn't really changed. he still the same smug ****

    While certainly not "Game of the Year" material, both "Eevee" and "Pikachu" are delightful games. Speaking as someone who hasn't played a Pokemon game since "Yellow" was brand new, it is a great way of re-introducing myself to the franchise. And, just as importantly, it will be a great way for me to introduce my niece to the franchise in a couple years.

    I did enjoy the motion control for the ball throwing despite some occasional gyro misalignment glitches here and there. Despite my personal thoughts on how to improve the catching mechanics (such as a "Perfect Throw" ring when it's really small), everything works well and actually fits the game nicely.

    The Safari Zone being reduced to nothing more than a "Pokemon Go" interface did hurt and I do miss the threat of a wild battle happening at any random time when exploring, but the game as a whole is still an enjoyable time killer. The only real legitimate complaint I have is the $50 pay-wall for Mew which will likely prevent me from getting 100% PokeDex because I'm not buying an expensive peripheral for one game. Made that mistake for "Guitar Hero".

    It has some nice complexity with the IV system for the late gameplay if you want to pursue those areas.

    I wouldn't mind seeing them do the other generations (2-current) so I could give them a try without having to invest in the older consoles/games.

    If you played the older games (Red/Blue/Yellow) then, chances are, you'll enjoy this game too.
    If you're new to the franchise, it's a good way to dip your toes in without feeling overwhelmed while also offering the chance to further explore some of the earlier complexities.
    If you're a parent looking to buy a game to keep your kids distracted, this will work fine.

While everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion, to say this game is a 0 or 1 is absurd. I do have my complaints with the game, but I found a lot of the deviations from the norm refreshing.

    First, I'll address the issue that the game is too easy. Yes, the game can be relatively easy, but like other installments, it is only as easy as you decide to make it on yourself. I ditched my starter at the earliest opportunity and completely disregarded the component of interacting with it. Eevee certainly was uncharacteristically strong. In addition to not using Eevee in battles, I maintained a large roster of Pokemon that I switched out frequently. Because XP was easier to come by, I was able to keep more Pokemon leveled for battle than I have in any previous games without grinding. In past games, I have been somewhat limited to 6-8 Pokemon, and often had to grind XP by battling wild Pokemon in order to keep them at the appropriate level. This time, I ended up with a roster of 16 or so Pokemon over level 50 by the time I reached the Elite Four. In the past, I've always felt I had to choose between abandoning the use of certain Pokemon or spending hours grinding to maintain their levels. If you're a fan of maintaining a large roster, I think you'll really enjoy this aspect, like I did. By having a large pool of Pokemon to choose from, I was able to customize the challenge i faced in battles. Against Blaine, I could choose to take Blastoise, Seadra, Sandslash, and Rhyhorn, or for more of a challenge I could take Vileplume, Venomoth, Venusaur, and Dewgong. Or any combination of these and my other numerous Pokemon to suit my taste.

    Next, let's talk about changes in mechanics. Lots of people have complained about many of the changes, so I'll start with what I like. The fact that random wild encounters are virtually eliminated is big improvement in my mind. Sometimes wild Pokemon will dart at you, but for the most part, you can choose whether to encounter them or not. This eliminated the sense of dread I've felt in the past from wandering around areas with wild Pokemon by having to constantly run away from the millionth Rattata or exhaust my PP Thunderbolting the millionth Zubat. I will say that it would have been nice if you had the option to either battle or try to capture wild Pokemon. It would be easy to implement and people could take it as they liked it. Players have been clamoring to take their Pokemon out of Pokeballs and ride them since I can remember, and they finally gave it to us. This is just one of the many ways that they made this game feel immersive. Lastly, the built-in Pokemon rater was a nice change. It removed the need to use a calculator to determine IVs or unknowingly draft a low quality Pokemon on to your team.

    And now for my criticisms. The severe shortage of double battles feels odd, particularly since they are in the game, but only a handful. It seems like they wasted their time building in this mechanic only to barely use it at all. The only removed mechanic I found myself missing was abilities. I think they were a huge improvement when they were introduced. I realize they wanted to make the game more accessible, but I don't think that would have been hampered too much by the inclusion of abilities. Perhaps they could have made them visible by announcing them. Haunter is levitating, ground attacks will be useless, or Raichu is absorbing electricity, electric attacks will only make it stronger. Something like that seems preferable to removing them altogether. Lastly, I have no desire to pet or play with Eevee. I appreciated the fact that the game didn't try to force me to do this, but I guess it's there for people who wanted to do it. This was, at worst, a minor annoyance that I easily disregarded. Although I didn't battle with Eevee or level it, I have seen the names of its moves online, and I have to agree that they are ridiculous and overly silly. I guess they just planned to include them for this game and didn't want to use any names that could be reused for an attack later, but it still seems like they could have erred on the side of not silly.

    Despite its flaws, I found myself continually wanting to pick this up and play it. There is a certain je ne sais quoi that kept me coming back. I really liked many of the improvements and hope they implement some of the changes in future installments. Hopefully, Game Freak takes this as a learning experience and keeps the good and eliminates the bad. All in all, I am glad I played it. It was a lot of fun, and in many ways the Pokemon experience I've been craving since I was 10.    … Expand

    Why, you may ask? Well over the years as I learned to use the various game mechanics (IV'S EV'S etc.) to my advantage, all the Pokemon (even new releases) just became numbers for me. They didn't feel like Pokemon anymore. I didn't feel like I was playing a Pokemon game, instead I was just playing a numbers game where you could replace the Pokemon with static stick men and nothing would change.

    This game was a refreshing change in that it removed most of the numbers and made the focus on catching Pokemon (You know, gotta catch 'em all, and all that?). I felt like a kid again, I felt like I just wanted to catch them all just because I could, and not just because I felt I needed a specific stick man for breeding to get some specific skill for another stick man.

    The game however was a bit too easy, but it didn't really bother me because I was having fun, honest to god fun. Something I hadn't experienced in ANY game for a long long while. Just good old fun with no calculating optimal stick figure builds or the weight of the world weighing down on my shoulders. I was on a journey with Pokemon, and that's all there was to it.

    However as much I liked this nice little break between Pokemon games I still feel the next game should be a more traditional game. This game, even though I did enjoy it as a nice break, should indeed stay as just a break from the usual formula. There's just something about building the perfect stick man. Something other games can't really nail down.    … Expand

There have been some changes made to the mechanics, like how you interact with wild Pokemon, but I am thoroughly enjoying the game. It is what finally pushed me to buy a Switch.

    There are many games that rely on plain nostalgia to sell. Most of us who are spending the money are aware of this so no one is being conned. In addition, Yellow is almost 20 years old, so the people who are experiencing the nostalgia are probably between 30 - 40 years old (like myself). At that age, you should be completely competent to decide if $60 is too much to spend on your childhood nostalgia. I believe mine was extremely well spent and this is a great purchase for anyone who wants to relive that nostalgia, or to introduce new people into the Pokemon-verse.    … Expand

    The controls (at least on handheld) are wonky as hell and barely work, I can't run down without using the Pokeball, every encounter feels like catching a legendary without the charm, the story is somehow both a remake of Yellow and a sequel to Red/Green/Blue, so it looks like everyone is an absolute moron by redoing everything the exact same way, there are no more wild battles, meaningThe controls (at least on handheld) are wonky as hell and barely work, I can't run down without using the Pokeball, every encounter feels like catching a legendary without the charm, the story is somehow both a remake of Yellow and a sequel to Red/Green/Blue, so it looks like everyone is an absolute moron by redoing everything the exact same way, there are no more wild battles, meaning grinding is entirely money- and luck-dependent, everything is super easy and it insults everyone's intelligence with the handholding being somehow worse than Gen VII, and the characters are a real downgrade from the original. Oak is now a dick by making a joke about forgetting his grandson's name, "Trace" is a poor man's Hat and Green put together (and I hated Hau personally), Green is back for some reason and they changed him too much for that point in his development, and nothing has been improved. There are no more held items nor Abilities (which FireRed and LeafGreen had), the new moves are laughably bad (like the infamous Baddy Bad), the over reliance on charm means every other aspects were overlooked, and I personally did not like the Go mechanics from the ground up, even though that was also a mess in general.

    Did this game do good things? Sure. The Master Trainers are a neat idea (though I feel they went overboard with every single Pokémon having one, meaning for the most part you have to stop them from evolving and feed them candies for the postgame), Blue being canon is nice though ultimately unnecessary, rematching the Gym Leaders is cool (even though it's not the first game to do so), and I guess the Pokémon following you again was nice (though not a deal maker/breaker for me). But those positives are vastly outclassed by negatives that are a lot more essential in a game. The controls barely work, but hey look at that Eevee's clothes! It's just hiding your head in the sand.    … Expand

    This is the most refreshing Pokemon experience I've had since the early 2000s at least. While they did simplify a few things and make the game overall easier, they streamlined so much and made the game faster paced, making everything you do so much more satisfying. Catching pokemon is now fun and rewarding instead of tedious and frustrating, as well as ultimately useless in most cases.This is the most refreshing Pokemon experience I've had since the early 2000s at least.

Catching pokemon is now fun and rewarding instead of tedious and frustrating, as well as ultimately useless in most cases. Finding pokemon with good IVs is now something you work towards using both skill and determination, instead of blind luck. HMs no longer take move slots. There is just so much to love here and the blind hate it's getting is really sad...

    The pokeball plus is amazing in this game. Taking my pokemon to work with my and watching their levels skyrocket when I get home is such a great feeling, way better than the pikachu accessory I had as a kid that would reward me with pure **** It's also a great controller in it's own right for this specific game...

    That all said, the game is far from perfect. The cuteness overload of your companion is overwhelming at times. The game is WAY too easy and will stay that way if you take full advantage of the mechanics, you kinda control the difficulty yourself depending on how you play. The control options are limited, internet options are kind of a joke, and you still only have one save(per profile anyways). There is definitely some give and take here, but IMO if this count as a main line pokemon game, it's easily the best since gold/silver... Here's hoping for a Johto DLC!    … Expand

    What a joke! this, must be the one of the worsts game ever released for switch. Charging full price for this game is an insult to switch owners. It is very repetitive and boring.

    La primera vez que anunciaron el juego lo primero que pensé es que la saga tal y como la conocía había muerto, el éxito de pokemon go habia terminado por enterrar lo poco que quedaba en la saga que podria atraerme. Me equivocaba.
    Estos juegos son un spin off de la saga principal a la verz que un remake de pokemon amarillo con mucho potencial.
    El nuevo sistema de capturas tan criticado por muchos si bien no es perfecto, resulta un soplo de aire fresco para jugadores que como yo, ya estaban cansados de tener que enfrentarse a centenares de zubat cada vez que atravesaban una cueva. Ahora puedes elegir si enfrentarte a un pokemon o no, y no es necesario pasarse las horas en la hierba alta huyendo de combates para encontrar el pokemon que buscas. Aún así, no le veo mucho sentido a tener que capturar cientos de rattatas para que tu equipo suba de nivel, hubiera sido genial poder elegir si combatir o no.
    A nivel de historia es pokemon amarillo excepto porque no lo es. El desarrollo es practicamente el mismo que en el original aunque con algunos cambios. Lo más notable el cambio de protagonistas, esto para mí es un gran error. Todavía no ha existido ningun rival a la altura de Azul (Blue, Gary...el nieto de Oak), realmente a todos nos encantaba odiar a ese pequeño bastardo que siempre iba un paso por delante. Ahora tenemos a un compañero graciosete sin demasiado carisma y de nuevo excesivamente amistoso.
    Una de las cosas que más agradezco es la desaparición definitiva de las MO, esta vez de una forma para mi gusto más elegante que la empleada en sol y luna, el lugar de andar alquilando monturas, será nuestro compañero (Eevee) quien las realice, sin renunciar a ningun ataque por ello.
    Quizá para mi el mayor punto en contra es la conexión con pokemon go, no aporta nada más allá de servir para romper la máquina llenando tus bolsillos con decenas de legendarios y ponkemon shiny, haciendolos menos valiosos.
    En Resumen:
    Pros:
    +Nuevo sistema de captura con potencial pero al que le falta mucho para ser perfecto
    +Gran banda sonora para los nostalgicos, nuevas mezclas de los temas originales ahora instrumentadas
    +Adios a los exclavos de MO
    +Kanto luce mejor que nunca
    +Guiños a las entregas originales
    Contras
    -Pokemon go solo sirve para romper la maquina
    -Ya va siendo hora de un selector de dificultad
    -El sistema de capturas necesita unas cuantas mejoras
    -Me gustaría poder elegir si capturar o combatir contra los pokemon salvajes

    Pokemon Let´s go no es esa rebolución que todos esperamos en la saga, pero es un enfoque diferente y entretenido. Merece la pena darle una oportunidad    … Expand

    First I would like to state I don't normally write reviews on a product but I felt this product had too many reviews that were uninformative. Second I would like to state if you did not play this video game you should not review it. Third this is not a main Pokemon generation game. Pokemon have many side games and remakes this is just one of them.

    Now to the review- I started out    First I would like to state I don't normally write reviews on a product but I felt this product had too many reviews that were uninformative. Second I would like to state if you did not play this video game you should not review it. Third this is not a main Pokemon generation game. Pokemon have many side games and remakes this is just one of them.

    Now to the review- I started out with the mindset that this game would be bad. I love Pokemon and so I tried the new game and it took me by surprise. I love what they did with the game, the world feels alive. You walk to an area and Pokemon are walking and flying around just like you would imagine in a real Pokemon world. I can now choose who I would like to catch. They use the Pokemon go system when catching Pokemon and you can use different balls and bait to make it easier to catch. You can get rare Pokemon to come out with lures and with increased catch combo. You get XP for catching Pokemon based on the catch and size. Pokemon battles are the same as all games you give people the stare and they walk up to you and battle. The game has tons of Pokemon trainer battles and not all of them are easy. I found myself preparing and changing my Pokemon out to counter what types of Pokemon the other trainer had. I find that in most gen Pokemon games I don't even have to counter as long as my Pokemon are high level I just wipe the floor with them so this provided a bit more of a challenge. You also don't have to walk to a PC anymore you can switch Pokemon anytime in your inventory which I like. I also felt that we had more interactions with our Pokemon since they didn't have to stay in a ball the whole time. I liked playing with my eevee and dressing them up.

    This game isn't perfect though by any means but no game is. I had issues with the catching controls at times. I preferred just playing it with the controllers attached rather then using them separate from the switch since it was easier to control. The story is a bit lacking but it is a remake of the first game which didn't have much of a story anyways. I would have liked to see some other gen Pokemon but they do have the Alola remakes of the first gen which is pretty cool. Also like most Pokemon games all the NPCs look the same. Also I think that we should have been allowed to take eevee or pikachu out of party if we wanted. I think the price is a little high for the game and I would recommend if you have trouble with finances to maybe buy it when the price goes down.

    Overall though I was able to immerse myself in this Pokemon world. If you are someone who hates the Pokemon go mechanics or someone who has to have that battle sequence during the capturing then this game is not for you and it was never marketed towards you. If you love Pokemon and love the Kanto region then give this game a try you might enjoy it.    … Expand

Apenas he jugado a juegos Pokemon clásicos, por eso no puedo comparar, pero he jugado ya muchas horas a este Lets Go (cosa que muchísimos de aquí no) y he de decir que, Lets Go es un Pokemon divertido, adictivo y suficientemente completo.
    Mucha gente critica lo de las capturas de Pokemon por ejemplo, o la dificultad. Lo de las capturas realmente no es algo malo. Hay muchísimos combates contra entrenadores Pokemon, os vais a hartar, y realmente es algo que le da variedad y frescor. Si acaso criticar que es idéntico a los visto en Pokemon Go y puede que haya gente que esté ya un poco quemada de ese sistema, pero la verdad es que funciona genial.

    La dificultad: al principio el juego es horriblemente fácil, más o menos hasta cuando llegas al segundo líder. A partir de ahí el juego aumenta de dificultad y los combates se hacen realmente interesantes. Es necesario pensar antes de actuar y demás cosas típicas de los RPG. La dificultad en un RPG para mi es vital y he de decir que este Pokemon cumple perfectamente, algo que me preocupaba ya que no paraba de oír que sería demasiado fácil, y no lo es ni de lejos.

    Gráficamente el juego es super colorido y tiene un aire que encantará a cualquiera. La banda sonora es una auténtica pasada cómo está hecha, da gusto oírla.

    1) Algunas zonas son algo repetitivas... Por ejemplo zonas con demasiados combates y así.
    2) Problemas de rendimiento muy extraños al menos en modo portátil. Puedo entender que se ralentice el juego cuando aparecen muchos Pokemon salvajes (aunque con los gráficos tan simplones que tiene, no debería entenderlo tampoco...), pero, hay momentos, como al abrir ciertos menús, que la tasa de frames cae alarmantemente, al punto de molestar incluso. Es algo que no entiendo y que deberían arreglar.
    3) ¿Falta de novedades?. Tengo entendido que no hay mucha novedad con respecto al Pokemon amarillo original. De hecho se han eliminado cosas como los huevos y alguna que otra que le habrían venido a este Let's Go que ni pintado.

    Le pondría incluso un 8 a este juego, pero sinceramente creo que quizá podría haber dado algo más de sí: más innovación, nuevos sistemas en vez de coger el sistema de captura de Pokemon Go por ejemplo...
    Esta era una oportunidad de oro para innovar de verdad y en vez de ello se han centrado demasiado en hacer un remake que, por otro lado, ha quedado de lujo y encantará tanto a nuevos como a experimentados.

    Considero que es un juego MUY recomendable, pero si te gustan los JRPGs, hay otros en Switch como Octopath Traveler que le da mil vueltas a este (y otros que se quedan muy atrás, como el World of Final Fantasy, que intenta seguir la estela de Pokemon fracasando en casi todo y con una dificultad penosa).    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! is an absolute delight of a game to play. It breathes fresh life into an otherwise relatively consistent franchise, in terms of mechanics. As someone who's played Pokémon as a child and was getting tired with newer iterations, such as Sun and Moon, this game gives new ideas a chance like other games haven't.

    While some would argue that they dislike the changes made to the game, compared to previous Pokémon titles, I feel as if most of the changes, that aren't simply just dropped content add simplicity and fun to the game. Reinvented Pokémon catching, while lacking battling, allows for much more fun, laid back catching of Pokémon. Personally, I've spent hours just catching Pokémon because of how much the more Pokémon GO like wild encounter system simplifies and takes tediousness out of the process. Battling wild Pokémon, while seemingly integral to a Pokémon game, now feels as if it was never needed. Battling trainers fills the void of wanting to battle, where wild Pokémon previously would just be used as a way to level up your current party. As well, the motion controls when catching wild Pokémon add a bit of goofy fun, where you'd think you'd be annoyed. On top of all this, the new way wild Pokémon are shown actively on the map, instead of randomly spawning battles in tall grass adds a sense of wonder to a Pokémon game that I feel everyone who's played these games since childhood would love.

    The only place I take issue with Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! is where there's a lack of content. While this game is meant to play off of the original generation of Pokémon games, where not all features or Pokémon were around, the game has a very odd pick and choose mindset about what is or isn't in the game. A few examples of things from newer generations that are left in would be riding Pokémon, newer types and moves from current generations, or mega evolutions. But some things that just seem odd are confusingly not in the game. Pokémon can no longer hold items, similar to generation one, there's some missing online features such as wonder trade, only Pokémon from generation 1 can be caught in this game (excluding Alolan forms and a Pokémon GO specific Pokémon). I assume the lack of Pokémon is due to time constraints and working on the next years Pokémon game, but it would've been nice to at least have been able to transfer Pokémon from previous generations to this game.

    Overall, Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! is a great game to play, and anyone who's a fan of the series should be able to appreciate what it has to offer, even if it may be missing some things you would have enjoyed. Regardless of the games shortcomings, the way the game adds a freshness to long-standing mechanics makes it more enjoyable to me, than it has been in a while.    … Expand

I loved this game - and it took my right back to my teenage roots (pun intended). It looks beautiful, the battle system is cool and fresh. I didn't think i would be a fan of the new encounter system but i like not getting caught up with a zubat every few steps. I also enjoy the new way of catching the Pokemon - but wish they had kept the battle pre-catch going. It's weird having to grind by catching instead of battling. The game does seem easier - but i tried countering this by never feeding my Pokemon candy. I am 32 now so this was chocked with sentimental value.

    The music was a large orchestra arrangement of all of the original tracks, most of which sounded great, some of which didn’t really hit home.
    Some cons: having only the original 151 plus 2 more is a bit disappointing, however if generation 8 looks anything like this, then I won’t have this problem. I wish there was more to do in the post game, especially since I payed $60 for it instead of the usual $40. Sure the master trainers are cool but grinding to face them was a chore. I just did 6 so I could face red. Because it was a remake of yellow and not leaf green or fire red, I do miss the Orange Island plotline we got. Post game, dragonite, charizard and Aryodactal can be riden in the sky and can fly over obsivcals. This makes the game must faster, however, you need to get off to interact with anything including going into houses and going across routes with a gate. This means you need to open your menu, select return to poke ball, land, go to where you need to go, open your menu back up and select follow just to move around quicker.

    Surprises: not being able to evolve your starter never bothered me because of how strong they actually are. I boxed my eevee pretty early on and took him back out for some post game and he was still kicking ass. I thought I would hate the wild catching system but I actually kind of love it. Sure the motion controls are not great but this style of Pokémon was decent. Seeing the Pokémon in the overworld felt nice and gave more personality to the world you’re traveling in. I thought I would hate the rival but I didn’t. And I didn’t miss held items and abilities as much as I thought I would.

    Biggest complaint would be the Pokéball plus being the only method to catch mew. I’m not spending $50 just for mew    … Expand

    It's a good game even if you have been playing Pokémon since gen 1. Also, we veterans are not the target of this games. All the negative scores comes from haters complaining about it being the Kanto from gen1 again for what I have read. Let's Go has some good innovations that could be implemented in future "main" games but they won't because of haters not being fair with this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I started with red version and played through the series until heart gold and soul silver then life got in the way. I came back to the series with pokemon go and have played halfway through let's go. I love complex games with a lot of depth. Yes, this scaled down, only because it's a remake of a basic game, but it keeps me interested and I haven't gotten bored.

    These "hardcore fans" leaving biased reviews is ridiculous.

    This is a fancy remake of Pokemon yellow. If that's not your cup of tea, stop here and don't play it. Of course this remake has some extra features that emphasizes catching pokemon in a "Gotta catch 'em all" game. I welcome it.

    The catching mechanic is basically the only thing brought over from pokemon GO and it is a welcome change to grinding out battling and catching wild pokemon in other versions. The catching mechanic makes grinding more enjoyable. I am able to level up my pokemon as well as look for the pokemon with stats and natures to actually build up a strong party. To what end? Personal fulfillment and online battles. I haven't battled online so I am unsure what that is exactly like, I just know there is no global ranking.

    From what I have seen in the game so far, your items like calcium, hp up, pp up, iron, etc have all been replace by different candies obtained from catching pokemon and transferring to professor oak. This replaces grinding to collect money to buy those items with grinding to catch pokemon.

    Due to the catching mechanic and the desire to build a great team and just find shiny and strong pokemon, i often find myself distracted from the main story to catch pokemon in a random spot.

    Pokemon appearing in the overworld is awesome.

    Yes, I do miss hold items and breeding, but there are still natures and an abundance of pokeballs. The mechanics of leveling pokemon as you look for your specific natures and IV's replaces the need for breeding. It's wonderful multitasking.

    I haven't finished the game so I only the post game content involves the master trainers which would have you level up each species to battle and claim the title of master trainer for that species. But it doesn't sound lacking. I hear people still say crystal's battle tower is still the best post game content.

    I do wish the region was larger, but it's a remake of yellow so what more can you expect? As much as I wish for a bigger region, online matchmaking (still not sure how online battles work), hold items, etc. This is a wonderful remake of pokemon yellow with new features that I hope make it into the 2019 gen. Pokemon Let's go is a testing ground to refresh the pokemon series. Nintendo chose a solid platform to test new mechanics. I call it a successful test.    … Expand

Wasn't a fan of Sun/Moon and the spin-offs but this game hits almost all the right notes.

    PROS:
    + The graphics are incredible! Still looks like the Pokemon we know and love but got significantly updated to run on the Switch and this game looks FANTASTIC in docked mode on a big TV.
    + The story is fun! It's not QUITE a remake of Pokemon Yellow (on purpose), but it comes very close while adding its own spin on some of the story.
    + You can get the Alolan versions of First Gen Pokemon in-game.
    + Unnecessary wild Pokemon encounters are GONE. You can now see exactly what's running around and choose to encounter it or not. Wild Pokemon battles are also gone (except for Snorlax and Legendaries I believe). You don't have to fight every single Pokemon to catch it anymore, you just complete the catching mini-game. Normal trainer battles still exist and are aplenty, don't worry! It's SURPRISINGLY fun to skip the unnecessary grind and just focus on the battles that really matter.
    + Your partner Pokemon makes the game incredibly personal and adds another layer of cuteness. You can change clothes, hairstyles and accessories on your Pikachu/Evee and match your outfits! You can also play with your partner, which will get you some rewards.
    + This game finally got rid of having to teach your Pokemon moves like fly/surf/cut etc. and having to have them in your party in case you need them. Your partner Pokemon learns all these moves in a special selection screen so no space is taken up in your attack selection and Pikachu/Evee can still use them even if they aren't in your party. You can still obtain those moves and teach them to Pokemon if you want, but they don't need to be removed by the move deleter!
    + There is no need to run to Pokemon centers to change your party anymore! You constantly carry your Pokemon box around with you and can change your party whenever you like. You can send Pokemon directly from your box to Professor Oak for candy rewards that will help improve your Pokemon.
    + Unnecessary on-screen notifications such as "would you like to name the Pokemon you just caught" have been removed and you can now name your Pokemon whenever and wherever you want, as many times as you want.
    + Movement is fluid, and you can have another Pokemon as well as your partner outside the pokeball. Some of these (the big ones) can be ridden or even flown on! Moving around on Charizard for example makes you move much faster.
    + The pokemon outside your ball will help you find items hidden in the world and your Pikachu/Evee's tale will wag if you're close to a hidden item.

    NEUTRAL:
    +/- The Pokeball accessory is quite expensive but in my opinion worth it. I absolutely enjoy playing the game with it and hardly ever use another controller. It fits well in the hand and is of excellent quality. You can also use it to level your Pokemon up outside the game while walking or link it to Pokemon GO for extra rewards.

    CONS:
    - There is no breeding in the game, which is a shame.
    - No GTS system, which is a major step backwards for the series and trading with people you don't know is a pain.
    - There's one Pokemon Go exclusive Pokemon you cannot get just through playing Pokemon Let's Go, and I think that's a mistake. All Pokemon should be obtainable in the one game you bought (and the other version) without having to play Pokemon Go.

    I was very skeptic before trying this game but I have to say it was worth every cent and a breath of fresh air in the series. Unlike Fallout 76, it just WORKS. And to the people giving this game 0/10 after saying in their review they really enjoyed the main campaign but were disappointed with the endgame content: that is not how scores work. Post-game content is an extra bit added to the end of the game. If you really enjoyed the game up until then, that is an unfair score to give and I don't know how you justify it. For anyone looking for fun, engaging game-game content, Pokemon Let's Go is absolutely worth a try!    … Expand

I've been playing Pokemon religiously for most of my life, and have tried every generation, sequel, and near ever title in the main series as well as most of the spinoffs. While most of the spinoffs past the second Pokemon Ranger games have been abysmal at best, Pokemon LGPE was a surprising taste of what it's like to combine a spinoff with a main series title in an effective, fun, and beautiful way.

    While I admit shiny hunting in a game where the Pokemon is simply seen in the overworld instead of randomly encountered can take a lot of the excitement out of capturing a shiny, it's still an interesting feature that makes the wold you're in feel real, alive, and tangible. The graphics are wonderfully aesthetic, both colorful and soft at the same time, and are the best out of the games so far as a collective. Nintendo took great advantage in showing off these improved graphics on a platform that will soon carry on the Pokemon flame, and the work really shows with how natural the surroundings feel. There's absolutely zero gripe here for the lack of Pokemon outside the original 151 (+Meltan) as it's supposed to be a Pokemon Yellow remake of sorts, but I can't say I'm a huge fan of the capturing mechanic.

    All in all, Pokemon LGPE is an experience all players can enjoy, whether they come from the humble New Bark Town like i did or the free-to-play app that launched in 2016. Especially if they're able to set aside the catch mechanic. God I hate that catch mechanic.    … Expand

I'm also not too far into the game yet, with only having beaten the third gym so far. However, I could not stand seeing the review bombing - honest opinions are great, helpful. It sucks because I say so/it's not what I wanted (while what I wanted is on the way), is not.

    The positives:
    - It is Pokémon through and through in my opinion. You catch, raise, battle, evolve and more.
    - The soundtrack is nostalgic, but of very good quality as well; really enjoyable
    - I was skeptical about the art style at first. I found it too cartoony and not as realistic as it could have looked. A few minutes in, however, I already changed my mind. It looks beautiful (at least on my television, I have not used handheld mode yet). To me it looks like it always should have. It's colorful, cheerful and
    - it's more a living and breathing world than ever before. Pokémon appearing in the overworld, I never want that to go away
    - The attention to your starter Pokémon is great and since Eevee is one of my favorite Pokémon of all time and I want one for real, her adorableness is very pleasing
    - There are still plenty of trainer fights
    - I find using the Pokéball Plus to catch Pokémon with, genuinely more fun than just clicking a button as in the previous games
    - You don't only have a Pokémon following you, but you can ride a bigger one and Eevee rides YOU! I love it
    There is more interaction with your Pokémon now, due to the point above
    - Many characters, like Brock and Misty, look better to me now than even in the anime
    - Slight tweaks in where to find items and in the story, keep my approximately one millionth journey through Kanto relatively fresh and enjoyable
    - The new shiny chaining method is very nice and it even keeps count of your chain for you!
    - You can rename Pokémon at any time
    - You can access your box from your bag
    - Despite all the negatives below, the fun factor is MASSIVE

    - You no longer fight wild Pokémon. This is of course the big one. I would be all for fighting them first, then having the current throw/catch mechanics activate as soon as you select a ball from your inventory. A toggle for this or classic capturing would also be nice
    - Capture rate is very low, even for some low-level Pokémon
    - Pokémon can flee or block you at any time. The flee even if you just used a berry or threw a ball, unlike in Pokémon Go. This is really frustrating when you are chaining, or when you encounter something rare
    - The starter Pokémon are too overpowered. Yes, Pikachu in Yellow was underwhelming and almost useless. A slight buff after a certain level threshold to replace evolution would have been nice. But... my Eevee has continuously been handed out attacks it should not be able to learn, just to ramp up her strength and those attacks have broken effects. 100% chance to burn and paralyze on 90-power attacks, for example
    - You cannot turn exp. share off, unlike in previous entries. I would like to not earn ungodly amounts of exp when catching Pokémon. I avoid catching what I want sometimes because I find I'm getting too much exp.
    - You cannot sort your party on top in the box. You have to favorite them first, then sort by favorites. And sorting favorites cannot be done in conjunction with alphabetical order, only numerical
    - The story changes fall a little flat at times
    - Little pet peeve: I wish they had used Eevee's VA from the XY/Z anime instead. That one was spot-on and to me, the one in Let's GO Eevee, sounds a bit too much like a human trying to be a cute Eevee
    - While on one hand there is more interaction with your starter, it also sacrifices grooming, for example. Changing hairstyle is not possible with your controllers, not even with the Pokéball Plus and you cannot play with any of your other Pokémon like you did with Pokémon Amie/Refresh in XY/SM/USUM. This, I really miss. An emphasis on playing with your Pokémon and fuzzy adorable cuteness, yet my Vulpix can only be playing with when loaded into my Pokéball Plus (and thus I can't see it), or talked to a bit when it's running behind me in the game. No more real petting, feeding, etc. of your other Pokémon. Unless I missed that, which would be a gross mistake on my part
    - Menus overall are clunky, but I play exclusively with the Pokéball Plus, so your mileage may vary if you use the Joycons/touchscreen
    - 'Running' is a bit slow, but that sort of was the case in SM/USUM as well, if I recall correctly. I even find my ride Pokémon slow, though. And that is supposed to be a fast one (not spoiling which one)    … Expand

    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]
