    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.

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

    Soy fan de la saga pokemon desde sus inicios en rojo y azul y nunca me ha gustado el rumbo que ha ido tomando la franquicia hacia experiencias cada vez mas sencillas e insustanciales a nivel mecánico y narrativo.

    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
    Conclusión:
    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

    For a Long time Pokemon fan, this game is pretty easy, however aside from that the game is great and easy to pick up on. I've been a pokemon fan from the beginning, and yeah I don't like some aspects like lack of wild battles ( there are some but not enough), no Hold items and abilities.

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 ****
    I would recommend and have recommended this game to anyone that I believe would have an interest in it. It's a charming game, and a great entry point for new pokemon fans.    … Expand

    There are a lot of features that would be awesome to get back in future iterations - abilities, breeding, safari zone, fishing, different times of day affecting spawns - but at its core Lets Go is great and I think should be continued as a frame for future Pokemon games.

    Having played the Pokemon games all my life since they were first released on a Gameboy, I feel like this was the first time I had played Pokemon in years.

    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

    Do not be deceived by the ridiculously low scores given by other reviewers. 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    Do not be deceived by the ridiculously low scores given by other reviewers. 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

    Es un gran juego, increiblemente entretenido y divertido, las nuevas mecánicas que les han añadido son una maravilla, es fabuloso poder decidir si quieres o no enfrentarte a los Pokémon salvajes y la captura se hace rápida y amena. Hay combates contra entrenadores para aburrir. Llevo 5 días con el juego y 80 horas jugadas y aún no me he pasado la séptima medalla.

    Tiene puntos negativos como es lógico, gráficamente me recuerda a ROZA de 3DS, no tiene EVs y los han sustituido por unos caramélos... que al final como puedes aumentar todo en 200 pues pierde un poco la gracia. Y poco más puedo decir.

    Por último, al endgame no he llegado aún, pero por lo que leo es una pasada y da horas para aburrir.    … Expand

    Ok so let's start. A lot of reviews here are bad but seem to miss the point of the game entirely. This is a remake of Pokemon Yellow so of course there will only be the original 1st gen pokemon. This game was created to bring in new players so of course it is going to be easier (just like X and Y). This IS NOT a core game.

This game was created to bring in new players so of course it is going to be easier (just like X and Y). This IS NOT a core game. The game is a delightful and casual experience and was awesome to play with my other half. Yes the catching system is different but it's not a big deal, in fact you get more exp this way. Trainer battles and gym leaders are still a thing. People just seem butt hurt that it's not a core mechanic game, people don't seem to like change. My opinion is that this game does exactly what Game Freak intended it to. 8/10 for me, great causal experience that i thoroughly enjoyed. You dont HAVE to buy the £40 controller and you don't HAVE to play with Pokemon Go, these things are optional at the end of the day. If you play pokemon games you'll most likely enjoy this, don't let others put you off.… Expand

    There are a lot of people on here desperate to review bomb this game for no reason. Kinda sad really... Surely there are better things to do with your time than destroy a fairly earned score.

    While certainly not "Game of the Year" material, both "Eevee" and "Pikachu" are delightful games.

    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.

    Do recommend for any Pokemon fan; both new and old.    … Expand

    I too would give this game a 8 or 9. But want like to counter the people giving it bad numbers even after not playing it. I can understand new gen trainers not liking this game - but from my sentimental standpoint; it was a real treat. I was obsessed with Pokemon yellow when i was 12/13.

I was obsessed with Pokemon yellow when i was 12/13. I remember my parents taking me to the Grand Canyon, and remember not caring for a hole in the ground - instead i was bent up on beating that god damn league of legends. When i was 16 i tried to bed a girl and lose my V-card, with my Pokemon bed sheets on the mattress. But yes, bringing it back to my review. 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. I think it is a great intro for new players also.… 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.

    If you've got a kid in your life who's never played Pokémon before? Buy this game immediately. [Issue #37 – January/February 2019, p. 67]

    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]
