    A faithful retelling of Yellow, with plenty of extra content. The lack of random encounters and battling wild pokémon is jarring for some, but for myself others it is a nice change. No endless Zubats in Mt. Moon, plenty of trainers to battle for experience (as well as getting experience for catching pokémon), and accurate sizes for all pokémon in and out of battle.

    I was very 'eh' about this game initially. I remember first watching the trailer, losing my smile, and just kind of writing these games off as a do not buy. I kept watching trailers though, and eventually decided to give them a shot even if I didn't think they were going to do well. I was wrong. These games are amazing in every sense of the word. They're fun, beautiful looking, beautiful sounding with the remastered music, and a real throw back into the roots of what pokemon was meant to be.

    Yes, wild battles are gone. Yes, breeding is gone. Yes, it only has the first 151 aside from the newly revealed pokemon, but it doesn't stop them from being fun. It has it's core elements and a lot of cool things they added that weren't even part of the original games. I won't say what those are to avoid spoiling, but it's worth your money. Even if you're eh like I was, you might just find yourself surprised.

    I did buy the Pikachu version, but decided to post this here since they're basically the same game aside from which pokemon you start with.    … Expand

    I Love the game. Best version of Kanto ever. Red/Blue were my first games and this is a great game for original players who fell off and new players who have never played before. Maybe not if you spent 100+ hours in the every pokemon game ever,because this game is not as difficult as the last few. But it is way more fun!

    Been playing for a while and think this is a pretty good take on Pokemon. You have trainer battles everywhere so if you want to fight stuff there are that in spades. There are also tons of battles you need to do just to progress through the game.
    Beside that you catch Pokemons by throwing Pokemon balls at them and this actually mix up the gameplay in a good way.

Si bien hay muchas cosas recortadas como por ejemplo las habilidades, es en pos para los nuevos usuarios no se mareen con tanta información.

    These games are an absolute joy!

    Good Standard pokemon Game.

    Some features: Wild battle are now direct capture like pokemon go. While this sounds bad on paper, this make the overall process a bit faster, much more comfortable, and there is a new "chaining" mechanics that allow you to catch multiple time a pokemon, to get Higher IV and shiny chance, so you can always revisit old zone to build your team, instead of    Good Standard pokemon Game.

    The story and game progression itself is like the original Yellow, you get your snowflake pokemon with inflated stats and can pretend to be ash like in the Anime, feel free to remove it to give the game the "normal" difficulty.

    The pokemon now follows you! they can pick up items, some of them have unique interaction and overall make the pokemon world feel more alive.

    Online stille there, but limited to simple trade with randoms using a code(or a friend if you put the same one) and simple and double battle

    Competitively, it's only gen 1 with alola pokemon, and minor moves changes, not as deep as other main game pokemon, but you get the basics, No abilities or held items.

    The game is fun and relaxing overall, don't expect something grandiose, if you are nostalgic and like kanto go ahead, and if you have kid you can have a fun co op experience.    … 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.

    Not sure what the hate is all about, it's a fantastic game with beautiful graphics and a fun to play adventure. I really enjoyed this game and will probably buy this for my brother who is in middle school.

    Older Pokemons were way too complicated with the various systems like EV, Breeding, Random Elements, and natures. This takes away all of that and makes the game much more accessible.

I think the graphics in the 3DS games were bad and grainy, and I ran them in a emulator for PC on a big screen to make them look soft and pretty. This looks like that. And the parts that are watered down, are the parts that made me want to stab my eyes out anyway, like the 100 hours of grinding and random battles. I hate random battles and this is so much better. I'm looking forward to getting the actual ball accessory for the game and I never thought I'd be saying that I wanted a goofy-looking addon like that. Try this game, you might like it!… 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]
