Sep 8, 2023Trash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sep 8, 2023There's nothing to it. Pokémon is just a shell of its former self.
-
Aug 23, 2023Absolutely 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. -
Aug 13, 2023I feel like the art style of this game is what really did it for me. Cute and colorful just like pokemon.

May 28, 2023I'm a fan of Pokemon and I've played a lot of Pokemon games, but this game fell far short of what I expected and I regret buying this game for graphics and gameability.
-
Apr 16, 2023Melhor experiência possível na região de Kanto, gráficos belíssimos e não fica enjoativo com o tempo
-
Mar 30, 2023Nostalgic and bright. One of the better pokemon releases on the Nintendo Switch. Lacks heart and feels a little empty at times but overall a fun time.
-
Jan 30, 2023Ahh 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!
-
Jan 8, 2023The 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.

Dec 30, 2022It'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.

Nov 30, 2022Un gioco gradevole ma che taglia tanti contenuti rispetto al precedente remake rosso fuoco, sistema di combattimento con selvatici da rivedere totalmente. La semplificazione delle lotte rimuovendo le abilità è un peccato.
-
Nov 24, 2022this is a nice cute relaxing pokemon game i adore the lets go catching mechanics would love a johto version as well. my only complaint is the lack of games in celedon I want my slot machines and voltorb flip back.
-
Nov 20, 2022Overall - 6/10
Difficulty - Very Easy
Platform - Nintendo Switch
Replay Value - 6/10
Gameplay - 6/10
Hours Played - 60 hrs
Extra Notes: My first game on the switch so obvious bias. The game was way to easy, but I liked it as my first Pokemon Game and finishing the main story line faster gave me time to complete the dex or other things. -
Nov 13, 2022If had more depth like zelda link's awakening would be a masterpiece.But you can play it and have some fun and remember your youth.

Oct 2, 2022worst pokemon game ever. i see that they tried to integrate pokemon go and console games. but you have to spent hundreds of pokeballs to catch YOUR OWN pokemon that you transferred from pokemon go. also, no post game content available. i thought that "yes, i beat elite four now i can sail to sevii islands" but guess what? there are no islands! this is literally the worst pokemon game ever.
-
Sep 21, 2022This pokemon games it great with a story line behind I like it play this games not always but I'm a pokemon fans too inside have many different type of Pokemon and it cool for people who love pokemon my favorite it Pikachu that way I play this games .

Jul 2, 2022this game is so good i love it. the soundrack is awesome and so lovely i love it

Jun 5, 2022I love the walking pokemon with riding and I think that the art style is beautiful.
-
Mar 26, 2022bad . .
-
Mar 16, 2022An absolutely delightful and safe remake that captures the original Kanto experience from a more refreshing lens
-
Feb 15, 2022Very 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!

Feb 1, 2022One of the best that Game Freak made, super infantilized and easy, but cute and funny
A acceptable debut of the awesome main saga for a new console. -
Nov 19, 2018easily the worst in the series, the amount of removed features is incredible, even as a bare bones remake of yellow it's subpar at best
-
Jan 29, 2022Fabulous game! A perfect mix of old and new, masterfully mixed together. The best Switch game.

Dec 28, 2021El último juego decente de la franquicia, un bonito adiós de todo lo bueno y el último resquicio de calidad que tenía Gamefreak para está franquicia.

Nov 22, 2021I wish I could get more Pokemon. FireRed & LeafGreen has 386 species, but this game is not. It has only 153 species.

but an enjoyable game overall -

Oct 8, 2021Bright, 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.
-
Oct 3, 2021A game that was somehow more enjoyable than the mainline game Sword and Shield. You were actually able to move in this game without getting interrupted every 5 steps (looking at you sword and shield)

Aug 7, 2021This game is a terrible, lazy, disgusting excuse for a Pokémon game. Don’t buy this trash.
-
Aug 2, 2021It's a nice and simple remake of the original kanto games with its own charm. If only the sevii Islands were here, then this could be the definitive kanto game.

Apr 24, 2021This is a great game. The Pokémon are all detailed and look awesome, the story is fun, and the game play is a nice change. The ability to see Pokémon is a nice touch, and really enjoy it over previous games. I liked this game a lot.
-
Apr 4, 2021Ojalá el remake de pokemon diamante y perla fuera así. Me ha gustado ver Kanto de nuevo a gran escala, la música, nueva mecánica de juego... Lo único malo es el postgame que aunque tiene, es escaso.
-
Apr 2, 2021Genial remake de Pokemon para volver a la infancia. Banda sonora y gráficos mejorados
-

Feb 15, 2021Un juego que trae una serie de mecánicas nuevas e interactivas al RPG de Pokemon. Se nota que este Pokemon está hecho con mimo y cuidado, y no tiene nada que envidiar a las demas entregas.
Vive Kanto una vez más como nunca antes, y disfruta de este gran juego. -
Jan 26, 2021Looks 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.

Jan 1, 2021Why would they change the random pokemon battles into a lame catching mini game? That decision was terrible.
-
Nov 27, 2020Terribly boring, maybe kids will like it. The function with knocking out Pokémon is interesting, but this is the first 15 minutes.
-
Nov 22, 2020i'm SERIOUSLY disappointed in the game, it was never the feeling that i had, ready to play a paid pokemon game for the first time, only to find that it was not really with the other games, it's definitely overpriced with a lot of randomness and overly limited mechanics compared to the other games, even seeing the trailer for pokemon sword & shield looked better than this crap that i played.
-
Oct 14, 2020Being someone who cherished very much the very first Pokemon games, mostly Yellow, to be able to revive and relive all those feelings, nostalgia and with "modern" graphics was a dream come true... I bought my Switch to play this game... only down notes was the simplification of random pokemon battles, you just catch them instead... and the pay wall for Mew...

Sep 1, 2020Hours and Hours of fun. I completed the game in a day or two, plus shiny hunting. This game is unlike any other pokemon game, as the graphics, visuals, and game style is just purely an amazing experience. The story is also similar to the other games in a way, but there's just something to it that makes it feel special. 10/10.
-
Aug 22, 2020i didn’t think it was that bad idk why people didn’t like it eh i guess that’s just the internet
-
Aug 12, 2020its fun, but after completing the game you know that this was not made to be a main pokemon game. I LOVED the battle mechanics though
-
Aug 10, 2020Esse Pokemon começou a mostrar a exaustão que eu já criei de tanto jogar essa franquia, a Nintendo não para de "chupar" tudo que ela pode desse jogo, e isso está começando a ficar repetitivo demais.
-

Jul 22, 2020Nice, but so boring. I literally fell asleep several times. Plus, the music gets annoying over time because you always catch Pokémon to get XP. Also Go Park was a bad idea. Any desire to catch new Pokémon is taken away from you, because instead you can simply transfer them from Pokémon Go. Let me smash wild pokemons.

Jul 19, 2020El mejor remake de los primeros juegos de pokémon, lo unico malo es su jugabilidad parecida al pokémon go para celulares

Jul 1, 2020A competent reconstruction of a 25 year-old game that, while vastly superior to GameFreak's other modern offerings, is still just a 25 year-old game with a new coat of paint.
-
Jun 26, 2020I found this game really enjoyable to play when your playing through the story but when you finish the story your not left with much to do other than catch every Pokemon and battle online (which costs money) but other than that good game!
-
Jun 26, 2020Es totalmente injusta la calificación que le han puesto. Es necesario que suba, porque es un buen juego que debería tener un 8.2 aproximadamente. Su única parte baja es la dificultad, queda a deber en ese apartado. Saludos a los sonyers llorones.

May 4, 2020Overall, I think the graphics are good but it has quite a repetitive gameplay.
-
May 1, 2020A 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.

Mar 24, 2020Way 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.
-
Mar 18, 2020After 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.

Mar 3, 2020This is an awesome game! It really fits with the new gen console, it is nostalgic and clear to play, even if you are an older player or not. It is also a pretty cute intro for 8th gen games

-
Jan 5, 2020Positivo: Os Pokémon clássicos, sensação nostálgica de estar jogando um game de GBA em HD. Tempo de jogo.
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.

Mar 5, 2019A 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.

Game World Navigator MagazineFeb 8, 2019It’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]
