    Absolutely overpriced and sold in several parts. It's also lacking numerous features from previous games, the PokeBall Plus being the only way to get Mew is just a giant cash grab.

    In short, play FireRed/LeafGreen instead, they have 200+ more Pokemon to collect, more content, and can actually interact with other Pokemon games to get even more content and gameplay.

    Ahh yes, pokemon let's go pikachu. It reminds of my very first pokemon game, Pokemon yellow. The game is really fun with the catching and all but it gets really repetitive but man! The post game is so fun! I also like how you dont need 2 games to complete the dex, just get pokemon GO and your set!

    The game is great for what it aims to achieve. However I was personally not a huge fan of the catching mechanic, compared to the traditional formula. This entry in the series feels significantly easier than most, making it way shorter than most main line entries prior to this.

    It's nice to be a 2D game, and for pokemon go fans and those who have never played the first generation it's very enjoyable, for more niche fans it's just another game, since it's still a remaster and it's lost the most important essence of pokemon, the fighting, due to its absence and its low difficulty. It's acceptable, but it won't go down in history.

Diferente do seu antecessor, Pokémon Yellow, "Let's Go Pikachu" é um jogo mais focado na captura e no completar da Pokedex e, talvez por isso, não agrade aos fãs mais exigentes da franquia. Apesar do nível de dificuldade ser inferior a outros jogos da franquia, "Let's Go Pikachu" compensa essa diferença pelo seu visual extremamente adorável e pela animação de alguns ataques (que são de cair o queixo!). Se você é um entusiasta das primeiras gerações e teve a oportunidade de jogar Pokémon Yellow em algum momento, garanto que "Let's Go Pikachu" te trará uma série de memórias felizes e encontros marcantes!

    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!

The game has a lot of charm with it's buddy mechanics and throwbacks to the anime like Jessie and James. When it comes to gameplay though, the removal of wild battles in favor of GO-style catching is a bummer and there's really not much to do once you've beaten the main campaign outside of battling some trainers and rematching the gym leaders and elite 4.
    New to the game is candies which let you boost stats further than used to be possible. This can make the game way easier but is also interesting in that it can make otherwise unviable Pokemon be useful for once. I'm also a fan of the fact you can mount some Pokemon in the overworld like Arcanine and Charizard, which makes the game feel more alive.

    Overall, this is a nicely presented remake of Yellow version but it just doesn't offer enough content for the price point.

    Bright, fun and very good looking. A very good game for new fans of the Pokemon franchise and full of nostalgia for fans of the older games. Gotta subtract a point for not including all the content from Fire Red and Leaf Green, and could easily be considered too easy for very experienced gamers, but I think most people would be perfectly happy with this game.

    FireRed/LeafGreen is the gold standard that a Gen 1 remake should aspire to. It remakes all the original content with the graphics, audio, bells and whistles that you'd expect from a GBA game. Plus it adds the Sevii Islands - a new endgame region.

    Let's Go Pikachu by comparison is a barebones remake of Pokémon Yellow.

    You know... the game where you start with a Pikachu and obtain Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur from various NPCs just because Nintendo wanted to cash in on the success of the Pokémon anime.

    The main difference is... there's also an Eevee version where you start with the Pokémon that was Blue's starter in Yellow instead - because double money for Nintendo!

    Which begs the question for the consumer: Do YOU want an electric type that refuses to evolve or a normal type that refuses to evolve, and that's why I think everybody went with Let's Go Pikachu, because let's face it, Eevee sucks.

    So much of Pokémon Yellow's DNA is in this game that it's shocking. Even Jessie & James appear as occasional boss encounters, and just like with Yellow, have hardly as much character as they do in the anime.

    Whole heaps of content synonymous with Pokémon as a series have been gutted out for the sake of simplicity, sanitisation and parity with Pokémon Go. A few examples:

    1. Random wild Pokémon battles have been removed in favour of a Pokéball throwing minigame that works passably well with the Switch's controls.

    2. Your smack-talking rival from the original game, manga & anime series, has been replaced with a friendlier, more boring, more lame and more sanitised "friendly rival." Trace is frankly an insult to fans of Blue and Gary Oak.

    3. The Celadon City Game Corner has no minigames. It's not even like in HG/SS where the slot machines were replaced with other minigames. They're completely gone.

    4. No bicycles. Cycle Road is now Pokémon Road and you can traverse it by foot. Mounts have been added to the game but they just feel so weird and janky, especially when you automatically dismount just to jump from a ledge and remount after you land.

    5. HMs are now Secret Techniques which your companion Pokémon can learn. This means that you're dependent upon your starter to use moves. Thankfully, the combat version of these moves are repurposed as MMs in their original locations and TMs are reusable...

    6. The Safari Zone has been outright removed and replaced with "Go Park", a place which allows you to bring Pokémon from Go into your game. It's a one-way trip, by the way.

    These are just a few of the glaring problems that Let's Go has as a game. It isn't so much a remake as it is a low-effort rehash. The game is competently made but it's not what you'd expect from a Gen 8 Pokémon title. It feels like some failed experiment to create a game that has parity with Niantic's hit mobile game which backfired tremendously.

    Like all Pokémon games, Let's Go Pikachu has that familiar core gameplay to it.

Let's Go Pikachu does a good job at preserving this familiar setup, and I had no trouble getting absorbed in this game the same way I getLike all Pokémon games, Let's Go Pikachu has that familiar core gameplay to it. There's just something so intrinsically fun about adventuring through a region, gradually raising the strength of your team and defeating various other trainers as you do. Let's Go Pikachu does a good job at preserving this familiar setup, and I had no trouble getting absorbed in this game the same way I get absorbed in pretty much every Pokémon game I pick up.

    One of the cool things about Let's Go Pikachu is that it also presents a few welcome changes to the long-held standards of the franchise. For starters, catching has been completely overhauled, modified to appeal to newcomers who enter the franchise via Pokémon Go. I thought this was a pretty cool way to shakeup the formula and set this game apart from its predecessors. Wild Pokémon encounters have also been changed, so that you can see various Pokémon wandering around in the wilderness before you encounter them. Although its more of an aesthetic thing, this change really went a long way for me. Not only is it easier to avoid unwanted encounters (though they still do happen), it also adds a lot to the visuals of the Kanto region, and makes the world feel more real.

    Speaking of visuals, the overall look of this game is also very nice. There are a lot of new cutscenes and added animations that make the game feel much more alive than previous 3D Pokémon games have been. The designs for all the important characters (including the protagonist, the gym leaders/Elite Four, all the bosses, and a bunch of supporting characters) are all really nice looking. The environments also look neat.

    Pokémon walking behind you, a fan-favorite feature from HGSS, is also finally back, and actually improved somewhat. You can control which Pokémon walks behind you (instead of it just being the one in the first party slot), and you can do more than just walk with them. There are ridable Pokémon that replace the bike, flying Pokémon that let you soar through the sky (post-game only though), and various water Pokémon that'll take you through the ocean (after you get the surf secret technique). Unlike the mounts from previous 3DS games, these are all your own Pokémon, and interacting with them like this helps with the art style to make the game one of the most immersive Pokémon games.

    But the game is not without its pitfalls.

    Let's Go Pikachu adds plenty of new features to the game it's based on, but preserves many of its flaws as well. The plot is just as tacked-on and empty as the last time these games were remade. Once again, Team Rocket show up to do lots of generic villain stuff. Giovanni is just as forgettable as ever, having almost no presence outside of the two times you battle him. This should hardly come as a surprise to those who've played the originals (or most Pokémon games) before, but it's still disappointing.

    Similar to this, I am of the opinion that the Kanto region is the most boring region in Pokémon, geographically at least. There are a couple cool areas here and there like Pokémon Mansion and Lavender Tower, but they pale in comparison to landmarks that came in later games. So even though they look nice, they're boring to play through.

    Regarding the gameplay, I have two main complaints: the repetitiveness and the EXP gain.

    I can't recall if it was like this in previous games, but it felt like every route was absolutely flooded with trainers. Getting through areas like the Rocket HQ, Rock Tunnel and most of the later-game routes took me literal hours of fighting trainer after trainer after trainer, over and over again. And nearly all of these trainer battles have absolutely no strategy to them, requiring only mindless button mashing. Because of the limited pool of Pokémon this game has, you also end up fighting the same handful of Pokémon dozens or even hundreds of times.

    In spite of this forced grinding, gaining EXP is extremely slow. Even when consistently facing Mons that were ten levels above my current one, it could take forever to gain even a single level sometimes. I'm the type of person who likes to rotate Mons in and out of my team pretty routinely, and this was especially frustrating for me because it felt like it was encouraging me to just capture six Pokémon early on in the game and only use them.

    Also, quickly as I'm running out of characters: some of the in-game models were missing light-mapping in battles (which looked weird), and Pokémon walking behind you could get glitchy. The postgame also requires lots of grind. Like so much grind I didn't even bother.

    Let's Go is most fun in the beginning, when everything is new, and in the end, when your progress starts to add up. But in the middle, there's a lot of slog to get through. As a long-time Pokémon fan, I could overlook the game's numerous flaws and get a lot of enjoyment from it. But if you can't do the former, you probably won't be able to do the former.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Eu não posso ser um saudosista chato e ficar exigindo que todos os primeiros 151 pokémons estejam em todos os jogos, mas admito que toda vez que jogo algum tipo de pokémon dou prioridade/faço questão de capturar todos os pokémons da primeira geração, na verdade, não é apenas a nostalgia, mas é porque gosto muito dos primeiros pokémons e tenho dificuldade de gostar dos pokemons de Gold e Silver para frente (com exceção de fire red claro).

    Com a chegada de Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! Um remake de Pokémon Yellow com algumas melhorias, meu sonho de ter os 151 (ou quase os 151 pokémons já que é necessário ter o let’s go Eevee para ter os 151) em um game recente é realizado, com gráficos 3D e algumas novidades que irei comentar.

    Para facilitar a análise chamarei o jogo de Pokemon Pikachu, este game traz uma novidade em um jogo de pokémon para console, pela primeira vez, não ha necessidade de batalharmos com pokémons para capturar-los, basta lançar as pokébolas exatamente como em Pokémon Go, em resultado das capturas você recebe experiência para todos os seus pokémons e também candys que podem ser utilizados para aumentar algum dos status de seus pokémons.

    Na realidade esta novidade me foi vista com bons olhos, sabemos a quantidade de batalhas que temos de enfrentar para prosseguir na história em Pokémon Yellow, e ter substituído todas elas por apenas a captura deixou o jogo mais dinâmico, mas se engana quem pensa que o jogo torna-se bem rápido de ser zerado, em minha experiência de jogo cheguei a cansar com a quantidade de treinadores que é obrigado a enfrentar para ter o seu caminho livre, acredito que isso compense bem já que as capturas são rápidas.

    Outra novidade foi a pokémon box estar sempre com você, sem a necessidade de você ter de ir para um computador no centro pokémon para fazer o depósito ou saque de pokémons além de ser muito bom foi meio que uma necessidade, com a frenética captura de pokémons que você pode realizar, ter de ir ao centro pokémon toda hora para enviar os pokémons ao professor se tornaria algo bem cansativo!

    Outra novidade foi de poder trocar os apelidos de seus pokemons direto de sua bag ou pokemon box.

    Mas nem tudo é flores, algo que me decepcionou um pouco foi a animação dos golpes dos pkémons, quer dizer achei eles bem mal feitos em comparação ao Pokémon Y que foi lançado anos atrás, na verdade, ouso dizer que nem se compara.

    Outro ponto negativo que observei foi a na hora de capturar os pokémons, não sei se foi porque meu switch estava mais para o lado, mas teve vezes que gastei mais de 5 pokebolas para conseguir mirar certo no pokémon, então o “motion” com Joy Con foi complicado algumas vezes, mas esse problema pode ser neutralizado jogando no modo portátil do switch, assim você só precisa apertar “A” para lançar a pokebola e capturar.

    Falando nisso, outro ponto negativo é que você não pode usar o controller pro e nem os dois Joy Con para jogar no “modo TV” restrito apenas a 1 Joy Ccon individual, no modo portátil você utiliza os Joy Cons presos a tela e nem tente utilizar o pro controller pois ele não aceitará.

    É possível ter um pokémon que te segue onde você for, e ele pode farejar itens no cenário, o que te facilita encontrar aquele HM ou TM escondido.

    As novidades mais aparentes além dos gráficos é que os pokémons realmente aparecem na tela e não ficam invisíveis em um gramado como os jogos anteriores, vimos que isso se manteve em Sword e Shield.

    Uma coisa que me incomodou um pouco foi a forma infantil que ficou o game, tive a impressão que os npcs e os pokémons estão mais fofinhos, sei la, mais infantilizados, e quando pensamos em um quase remake de um jogo de julho de 2000, não creio que os fãs sejam mais crianças e se Let1s Go, Pikachu não é uma homenagem aos players barbudos de Pokemon Yellow então ele é para os players atuais? Mas isso não faria sentido já que o game mais recente possui 36 pokémons da primeira geração em uma pokedéx de 400 pokémons.

    De qualquer forma é o meu game da série Pokémon favorito na data desta análise.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a decent entry. It's clearly geared more towards kids / people new to the series, but it still has some thing for more experienced players as well.

    What I liked:

    I REALLY liked the new encounter system. Honestly, one of the biggest things I hate about the older games is constantly running into Zubats and other annoying wild encounters just trying to walk through an area. I really liked being able to explore the routes and caves without having to run from encounters every couple steps. Some times a 'mon will spawn right in front of you, but it's rare and you can typically get through an entire section without any encounters if you want to.

    One of the other reasons I really like this is because, since I don't like to get a lot of encounters, it helped keep my team at the appropriate level. I was almost always about the same level as each gym leader's team when I fought them, which is way more fun and challenging than being overleveled.

    I also really like the way they have shinies in this game. Being able to chain combos to increase shiny odds, and also see the shinies on the overworld (instead of have to constantly encounter and run away) makes it way more enjoyable to shiny hunt. I haven't done it a ton, but I have gotten a shiny Raticate, Chansey, and Dewgong so far. I've played like 5-6 other pokemon games and have only ever gotten a shiny Yanmega (from Ultra Wormholes) in all of those combined!

    There isn't much postgame (see my "negative" comments), but one thing I do like is that you can go back and fight the gym leaders again. And that they have much stronger teams for the rematches, so that it's actually a fun fight.

    Oh yeah, one of the best improvements to the series in a LONG time was getting rid of HMs. I hate having to waste moveslots on my team for required moves like Cut, Strength, Surf, etc. and it was so great to not have to do that in this game. Being able to use those skills in the overworld without having to mess around with your team to make sure you have the right 'mon was so much better.

    And I also loved being able to switch your team any time, without having to go back to a PC. Sure, this could potentially be used to make the game easier, but I actually used it to make the game harder: boxing pokemon that were starting to get overleveled without having to waste my time going all the way back to a pokecenter to do so.

    I also liked how you could transfer mons from Pokemon Go into the game. Wish it included more than just gen 1, but it was still nice to be able to complete the Pokedex myself instead of have to rely on finding trading partners. I do wish this feature was available earlier in the game, but it is accessible after like the 3rd or 4th gym, so I guess that's not too bad.

    What I didn't like:

    The biggest thing I hated about this game was that each gym had an arbitrary requirement to enter. Like the very first gym requires that you have a grass or water type, or you can't enter. But what if I didn't want one of them on my team? The worst offender of this is Koga's gym, which requires that you have caught 50 pokemon. I was playing with Nuzlocke rules and had only caught NINE pokemon by the time I got to his gym, so I didn't appreciate having to go "grind" and catch a bunch of pokemon that I didn't want just to be able to progress. Nintendo always tries to force people to play "their way" and this is one of the worst cases of that. There is literally no reason for having this restriction other than they want you to have caught a bunch, but again, what if I don't want to?

    I didn't like the catching mechanic. I get they were trying to make it like Pokemon Go, but it was more annoying than anything. And, as I said above, I rarely caught anything. I can't imagine playing this and actually catching tons of mons with this mechanic. It was so frustrating to try to catch anything besides the very easy early route mons, especially legendaries. It wasn't even challenging, just annoying.

    I was kind of disappointed by the very scaled back movesets. One of the most interesting things about these games is being able to customize your team with all kinds of moves. And even though they did have all 18 types in the game, it just seemed like the movesets were very small and limited.

    Virtually no postgame. I did like that you can go back and battle tougher gym leaders and Elite Four teams, but... that's pretty much it. There is no Battle Area, no post game story, literally nothing to do except re-fight the gym leaders and go catch MewTwo. Okay, there are also the "Masters" of each type, but each at level 75, it's just basically grinding.

    Overall:

    Good introductory game for new players (my 5 year old loves it), decent for returning players, but lacking a lot of substance.

To start with the positives I had about this game, the visuals are admittedly nice, especially compared to the game we got a year later. It also adds to the “cuteness factor” this game has with Pikachu & Eevee. Am I sick of seeing them plastered on every piece of marketing involving Pokémon? Yes. They’re still adorable in game though. I also like how they brought back Pokémon following you & how shiny Pokémon actually appear shiny in the over world, why they didn’t bring that shiny feature back in SwSh (aside from the DLC you’d have to pay $30 for just to have Pokémon follow you, wild Pokémon still won’t appear shiny tho lol stupid af) is yet another bafflingly stupid design choice that they can add to their shamefully long list of stupid design choices. That’s where the positives end & I have to get angry with TPC yet again. Why.. WHY are you remaking Kanto AGAIN?! Who is asking for this trash?! Kanto is the most boring & generic region out of all the Pokémon games I literally cannot name a si how memorable location that wasn’t done better in another Gen. Even most of the Pokémon in this Gen are either ugly or dumb, aside from a handful of good ones. How this boring ass generation continually gets preferential treatment over half a dozen other BETTER gens is beyond me. Nostalgia sells & GameFreak is gonna milk it until I’m dead clearly. They’ve been out of ideas for a while now but this game really put the nail in their creative coffin imo. These games just shouldn’t exist. The extra time and resources that went to these games should have gone towards Sword & Shield, maybe they wouldn’t have turned out the way they did if things went that way. At this point I’m so sick and tired of seeing the same 151 Pokémon and same tired ass region that I will never touch this game again, or any like it. Stop the Gen 1 pandering & start taking some goddamn risks again for the love of Arceus. This ain’t it. Save yourself the time and money & go play FireRed or LeafGreen instead. Or move onto better franchises. Expand

    Remake del clásico Pokemon amarillo.

    Historia: la historia es muy similar a la original, pero presenta cambios ocasionales en la trama.

    Gráficos: Son preciosos, los nuevos modelados 3D de los 150 primeros pokemon + algunas formas de Alola son excepcionales. Corre a una resolución 1080p 60 fps en modo dock y 720p 60 fps en modo portátil.

    Banda Sonora: bastante buena, pero la opinión en este aspecto es algo subjetiva.

    Dificultad: el juego es un paseo, el endgame es bastante simplón y nada desafiante.

    Duración: la campaña principal tiene una duración de unas 18 horas. Pero se alargan notablemente si deseas completar la Pokedex, derrotar a los entrenadores legendarios, comprar la corona de 999.999 PokeDólares de Pikachu y haced varios shiny huntings. En mi caso le metí 100 horas a mi primera partida, pero fue más por fanatismo que por contenido real. Actualmente, estoy haciendo un nuzlocke con mis amigos, así que las horas aumentarán.

    Online: Una cagada por parte de Nintendo no apoyar este juego de forma online, no tiene búsqueda propia. Los jugarores nos buscábamos la vida poniendo el código triple Pikachu y rezábamos para que te emparejarán con un japo random. Actualmente no sé como estará el online después de la salida de Sword and Shield. La crianza en este juego es inexistente, simplemente utilizas un ítem que te pone full stats al Pokemon y a darte de hostias. Además, las naturalezas las podrías controlar mediante la adivina, así que ni siquiera necesitabas dedicarle mucho tiempo a la captura (yo estuve mucho tiempo capturando, pero por los shiny huntings).

    Captura: rompe la fórmula tradicional, sustitución del combate aleatorio por modelados 3D en la hierba en tiempo real. Sustitución de la fórmula tracional de captura por la de Pokemon Go.

    Como fallo gordo, el cual más me dolió, es que no pusieron la zona Safari. ¿Pero qué cojones? Era el juego perfecto para hacerlo. Supongo que fue por limitaciones.

    Conclusión: Pese a sus fallos, lo recomiendo para todo fan que priorice la nostalgia por encima de la calidad. Pero el juego no es necesariamente malo, como comento le metí la friolera de 100 horas aunque lo critique en este análisis. En mi opinión, fue una buena compra, pero hay que ser consciente de los fallos para que las compañías no se duerman en los laureles.

    Looks beautiful! But it sucks. It's a little bit too much casual-directed, that's why this game is not for me. The only thing I really like about this game is that we can see Pokémon in the overworld now. And they can be outside of their pokéball and walk alongside you, but not inside buildings, not even the little ones. That sucks.

    Pokemon Lets Go Pikachu: (22.12.2018 Review Date)

    After I was very skeptical about the game at the beginning, after watching various Twitch streams I got the mood for the game and I haven't regretted it. I finished the whole thing after 28 hours and 04 minutes with 100 Pokémon caught.

    Story:

    You don't have to say much about a Pokemon game, it is typical and in the special case of Lets Go Pikachu everything is already known, as it is a Pokemon Yellow remake. But I have to honestly say, I thought it was great because it creates a lot of nostalgic moments, be it puzzles that you can remember or arena fights, etc. Wonderful.

    Graphics / performance:

    This is where the game takes the biggest step. The graphics are very pretty and go great with Pokemon. The rendering is very good for the remake. I don't really have anything to criticize here, except that there can sometimes be minimal FPS fluctuations, which I could live with.

    Gameplay:

    Also here some changes to Pokemon Yellow and all other Pokemon games before. What is meant, of course, is the lack of random battles in the grass, etc. At first I was skeptical, but I have to share the opinion of most of the people that it fitted in very well and also felt very good to see the Pokemon on the screen that you want to attack in the grass or in the case of Lets GO wants to catch. I found the level system with the new capture system similar to the Pokemon GO mobile app very pleasant. I didn’t miss to weaken individual Pokemon in battle first in order to be able to catch them then. Especially because there are MASSIVE lots of Pokemon Trainer battles.

    I never had experience problems, the EP divider, which now applies to the entire team, was of course very helpful again. In terms of difficulty, the game was incredibly easy at the beginning, because Pikachu and Eevee are also simply OP, but then became more difficult over time. Overall, the top 4 was no longer a problem with my team from Pikachu, Vulnona, Entoron, Turtok, Bisaflor, Charizard (LvL 60-66).

    The controls always ran smoothly, only when throwing the Pokeballs to the right with the JoyCon I sometimes had a bit of problems.

    The only thing I didn't really use was the candy system, there are just so damn many that you quickly feel overwhelmed.

    Content:

    Even after the top 4, there is still a lot to do, which I will take a moment to do. E.g. visit some people (boarding house, etc.), complete Pokedex or defeat the master trainers for each Pokemon. You can also rematch the top 4 and the arena manager from Vertania City.

    Conclusion:

    I have to say I'm looking forward to the upcoming Pokemon Game 2019. I would love to catch and level a mix of the current Pokemon Go-like and see the old random fights. I'm also looking forward to the next generation and of course the hopefully existing possibility of catching all previously available Pokemon in a new graphic splendor.

    There is nothing else to say about Pokemon Lets Go Pikachu itself than that I had a lot of fun and was really pleasantly surprised. For me 9/10 special sweets.

The gameplay is so easy that it makes X & Y look like Dark Souls. Also, your starter, while the partner Pikachu and Eevee were pretty interesting concepts, and the idea of them having unique movesets of different elemental attacks is pretty good...on paper. Instead of just one at a time, they straight up made it so you can have your entire moveset just OP moves. Before you say "oh but Pikachu and Eevee are weak" well not in this game, especially with the game's mechanics. The partner variants have higher stats, so giving them one at a time would've been enough. I get that this game is catering to Pokémon Go players, but even with that excuse, it's poorly executed. And to top it all off, this game has nothing new. You can criticize X & Y all you want, but at least there it had something new and interesting to it. What does this game have going for? Melmetal.

Whereas Blue was cocky and made you want to be better than him, the main rival in this game is the most bland and uninteresting character. Some positives would be the music, graphics, and the fact that Pokemon actually follow the player.

    For a full price game, Pokemon Let's Go offers a very little amount of content, which itself is low quality. There are far better experiences gamers can have paying for a full price game on the Switch, such as the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series.

    The game was a very relaxing game to play, albeit a little bit too easy for my liking. Regardless of the issues previously stated, it was still an enjoyable game that I do not regret buying. If Let's Go games don't detriment production of main series games, then I would be happy to see this series continue. Additionally, it introduced wild Pokemon in the overworld, and brought back following Pokemon for the first time since HGSS, which are two of my favourite features in the whole series.

    I'm an old school, die-hard Pokemon fan. I spent hundreds of hours playing the old Pokemon games (red, blue, green, gold and silver, then Fire red, Emerald green etc.), and I've watched the anime since the very beginning.

    Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! is the 2018 version of the proverbial Game Boy Color games. The original 152 Pokemon, the Kanto region. The game added graphical enhancements (not to mention Pokemon roaming freely in the wild) and rewarding little features such as being able to ride your favorite Pokemon (you can fly on your Charizard, c'mon, what's not to like!).

    What most people seem not to be okay with is the 'Pokemon Go'-like battle/capture mechanics. Gym battles and battling against other trainers remain loyal to the franchise, what has really changed is how you weaken Pokemon before you catch them. You don't grind and battle Pokemon in the wild like in the old days. Now it's basically the Pokemon-Go system, where you simply lure them with berries and what not, keep throwing a pokeball until you get them, and by capturing the same Pokemon over and over, you level up your Pokemon.

    In my personal opinion, that absolutely does NOT mean that the developers did a bad job, or that the game is any less interesting or engaging. It's bringing in people from a different generation, people that have experienced this much beloved franchise in a different way than we did.

    The only real issue that I see (and that's based on a completely personal reason) is that if you prefer to play with your Switch docked like I do, you must get used to only using one of the joy cons to move around, catch Pokemon etc. So I'm rating it 8. Otherwise it would've been a 9.

    All in all, Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! is a gem for real Pokemon fans, young and old. And for those that witnessed how times (and gaming) has changed, it brings a fresh breeze that still carries that wonderful scent we all remember playing the older games that were released 22 years ago.

    A remake of the blue / red / yellow pokemon saga without further ado, very faithful to the originals. GameFreak needs to evolve in the technical and artistic section. We are in 2019 and it seems that it is not a nintendo game with these GameCube graphics. As it is a remake after all, what less than adding voices to the main characters, which they have not done. I do not recommend it.

    It's nothing like games of old, and I feel like it's a case of "don't fix what isn't broken." They should not have deviated so far from the beaten path.
    You collect pokemon but don't battle anymore apart from gym leaders.
    The game looks nice and while I guess it's accessible to kids of all ages, this game was a big letdown. I was hoping for a pokemon game like what we had on gameboys

    当初玩的时候还是蛮兴奋的,毕竟第一次看没有马赛克的小精灵。然而现在回过头来看,本作实属骗奶粉钱。除了小精灵高清化了之外,剩下的素材基本上就是3DS上拿来就用的抗锯齿版本。Pokemon Go式的抓精灵的方式也实属低幼。但本作也有一些优点,一为明雷遇敌,二为宝可梦骑乘系统。总的来说还算是及格。当初玩的时候还是蛮兴奋的,毕竟第一次看没有马赛克的小精灵。然而现在回过头来看,本作实属骗奶粉钱。除了小精灵高清化了之外,剩下的素材基本上就是3DS上拿来就用的抗锯齿版本。Pokemon Go式的抓精灵的方式也实属低幼。但本作也有一些优点,一为明雷遇敌,二为宝可梦骑乘系统。总的来说还算是及格。

    Pokémon: Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee are remakes of Pokémon Red & Blue and are pretty underwhelming remakes at that. For the average player, this game is a great experience and is not too challenging as it builds itself as a game for newcomers into the series who have no experience with Pokémon or have dabbled a bit with the mobile game Pokémon Go.

For the average player, this game is a great experience and is not too challenging as it builds itself as a game for newcomers into the series who have no experience with Pokémon or have dabbled a bit with the mobile game Pokémon Go. However, for the diehard or big Pokémon fans, this game feels like a slap in the face and a dumbed-down version of such a great game. It's not too offensive for the fans but is very mediocre and hardly offers any challenge. It's great for Nintendo to try and introduce newcomers to the series, but as the first Pokémon title on the Switch is does everything but make the Pokémon fans suffer. Throw away all strategy and fun that the Pokémon series is known for. The catching mechanic has been implemented directly from Pokémon Go so you don't actually battle the Pokémon when you catch them, just a simple toss from the joycon or a click of A. You catch them based on a ring, Green meaning easy to catch, yellow meaning moderate to catch, or red, hard to catch. But unlike the mobile game, if the ring is not green, don't expect to catch the Pokémon with a regular Pokeball because it's borderline uncatchable. In Pokémon Go you could still catch a red ring Pokémon with a regular Pokeball, in this game it feels like there's no chance. Speaking of the joycons, the control scheme of this game is so poorly made, there's no option to play on the TV with a Pro Controller or Joycon Grip, just a single joy-con or a Pokeball Plus. I bring up again that challenge is nowhere in this game, I'd be lying to you if I told you I lost many battles. Losing in Pokémon teaches you to use strategy in your second fight that you didn't use in your first battle, but as said before, unless you're new to the series, you won't lose a lot. You would also think that a game on the Switch would show some evolution to the series, but the animations in the game are stiff and have almost no flash. It stays true to the original games as every animation is pretty static. I've never finished the game and probably never will as i find almost no reason to. That being said the game introduces wandering Pokémon which is one of the only positives I saw from this game, as being able to see the Pokémon before you walk into it stops you from running into Pidgeys & Zubats over and over again. It appears to me as Nintendo wanted to make a game that would draw in old fans of the series by making the game Red/Blue remakes, but it comes off as a shameless cash grab as this game isn't worthy enough to be comparable to those games. If you don't know much about Pokémon and have always wanted to get into the series, this game is obviously made for you and you might enjoy it too! And for Pokémon Go players this game does appear to have some sort of functionality with the mobile game so maybe it might interest you. But for a big fan of the series, this is one game you probably won't regret skipping. Expand

    Way too old in terms of effective playability for the player to enjoy. Button mashing in order to get past walls of texts like any other Japanese game. Limited gameplay. Simplicity. Lack of options in settings. Bad co-op. Half-assed customization. Repetitive.

    After finishing the game, I've come to the conclusion that Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee are both fine games but don't do enough to consider them great. However, that isn't saying its bad its just that there really isn't anything crazy or cool in here. Far from the worst game with the pokemon name on it.

    Obviously the hype was way higher than what this game can offer. As I was playing, I felt more and more disappointed because of the cuts of playable stuff with regards to the original title (Safari, Casino, bike, etc) and overall the lack of difficulty (forced exp. share, no fight against wild pokemon, etc).

    Pontos negativos: Músicas enjoativa e repetitiva. Do inicio do game até o meio é muito mais do mesmo. Mudança em upar os Pokémon que não gostei. Preferia o modelo antigo.

    A simple, nostalgic return to the Kanto region, offers little if you are a series veteran eager for complexity and challenge. But if that's not your main interest, Pokemon Let's Go has it all! It's a simple, cute and fun game that will keep you hooked for hours. An excellent starting point for newcomers, and a great nostalgia trip for those in a search for one.

    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]
