Nov 18, 2018The amount of review bombing here from people who haven’t even played the game is staggering, that being said, this game is fantastic, nostalgic, pretty, and most of all, addicting as hell. I would even agree that the new catching mechanic makes the grind less repetitive. One of my favorite games of 2018, and another great rpg for the switch.
-
Nov 18, 2018Refreshing change to the series. No more grinding wild pokemon, candies given directly to you. Pokemon Company finally removed all the clutter from the game and worked on real mechanics, rather than a luck based game. Its nice to see a game that managed to remove tediousness and add interesting gameplay.

Nov 20, 2018Great game if on the easy side. Fantastic graphics and music. A great introduction to the Pokemon games for the Go mobile crowd.
-
Nov 28, 2018Fantastic game which is unfortunately being slammed by trolls...
Highly recommend this game! -

Nov 16, 2018Really fun, very adorable, best looking pokemon game to date, music is really nice too. No random encounters is a blessing.
-
Nov 19, 2018Do not believe the review bombing. It is a good game.
It is far from perfect, yes, basically because of the limitations present in the game it is based on. There was no significant innovation on the original title (Pokemon Yellow).
Even then, it is a competent HD remaster, with a ton of nostalgia for the Pokemon fans.
The new capture mechanic is a breath of fresh air. I love it. -
Nov 16, 2018The game is definitely not for everyone but it's a nice reboot. I wish they din't use the catching mechanics from Go but the other additions are nice!

Nov 18, 2018I'm about 20 hours in and game is way better than what i was expecting, seeing pokemon in the overworld is amazing and the new catching mechanic is really less cumbersome wich helps the pacing quite a bit (after the disastrous Sun/Moon), and the people calling the game too easy have no absolutely no clue what are they talking about or just don't have the game, extremely recommended

Nov 19, 2018I have really been enjoying this game a lot so far - I'm 6 badges in as of the time of this writing. This game really takes me back to the old days, it feels like a very polished yellow version. My daughter in particular loves this one because of its' simplified approach to catching pokemon. Couldn't recommend this enough
-
Nov 19, 2018Amazing game! Worth every cent. Fantastic game play, very nice visuals and a great story. The perfect game for everybody that loves Pokemon.

Nov 21, 2018I 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,becouse this game is not as difficult as the last few. But it is way more fun!
-
Dec 9, 2018Aca tratando de neutralizar tanta mala nota dada a un juego que es una maravilla.
-
Nov 19, 2018I'm just gonna give this a ten, cuz the way this game is scored is outrageous anyway. Thing is, if you're a hardcore mainline pokemon gamer, this game is not for you. This game is for beginners and people who just want to casually enjoy pokemon. Or just people who love cute stuff. I love cute stuff. This game is perfect.

Nov 16, 2018This is the BEST Pokemon game in years. It looks super clean, is a nice throwback to the old days and has plenty to do for the avid pokemon fan. Ofcourse smogon players aren't real pokemon fans so they'll just bash this game, while its actually one of the best iterations in the franchise! I can recommend it to anyone who loves pokemon:)

Nov 21, 2018Bastante bueno no es igual que el original pero es mejor gráficamente y además agrega eventos nuevos al juego lo único malo pero simple es la manera de capturar a los pokemon pero es un detalle mínimo.
-
Nov 16, 2018The majority of people metabombing this have never played the game. This is a great introduction to the pokemon universe for young and old.
-

-
Nov 21, 2018It'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.
-
Dec 21, 2018un gran juego que nos devuelve a aquellos primeros pokemon que tanto disfrutamos

Nov 20, 2018Un buen punto de inicio para todos aquellos que no estan familiarizados con la saga y quienes quieren rememorar buenos momentos de aquellos tiempos de la gameboy.
-
Nov 18, 2018Wow, this is a great Pokémon adventure and Kanto never looked so gorgeous. It’s beautiful both on TV and handheld, and the soundtrack and use of the Pokeball really satisfying.
-
Nov 18, 2018The game its a great intro into the franchise, the difficulty its not high bit its very pleasant to play with children. The new capturing system is far better than the original, they are going to be haters like with every change. The downside it s the coop , needs more work. It will be a solid 8, but i am going to rate 10.
-
Nov 18, 2018Why is this game getting so much hate
It is a new take on a series that has been going on for a while. It is a great way to get pokemon on the switch before pokemon 2019. The game is fun and i loved. I stopped playing pokemon and this game has got me back into it. so accept the game, pokemon 2019 is coming -
Nov 21, 2018Para ser un remake de pokémon amarillo, simplemente un excelente juego. Deberían hacer mas remake como este o incluso mejores.
-
Nov 20, 2018Este juego es volver al pasado trae los mejores de la niñes momentos y recuerdos de tu vida inolvidables sompralo sin miedo no te arrepentiras estara bien invertido tu dinero

Nov 21, 2018Si has jugado en tu infancia a Pokemon o quieres adentrarte en el tienes que jugarlo , es una compra obligada. Me ha sorprendido mucho la profundidad de la historia y bien contada que está , los más mínimos detalles de todo, se ve espectacular .

Nov 20, 2018Entretenido, intuitivo, un juego para iniciar a las nuevas generaciones en el mundo de Pokemon, y para los mas veteranos un bonito tributo al juego que lo inicio todo. Excelente música, gráficos coloridos, jugabilidad optima y amigable para los mas nuevos y lo suficiente profunda para los mas expertos.

Dec 25, 2018una sorpresa, bastante entretenido y con su pequeña profundidad para ser un spin off, excelente regalo de navidad
-
Nov 22, 2018El juego no es de 10 y yo esperaba el Pokémon competitivo, pero como gran fan de la saga lo probé y se que está mucho mejor de lo que parece, le pongo 10 aunque se merezca un 8 o por ahí porque de tantos 0 que le ponen baja muchisimo su puntuación, a ver si con el mío aumenta un poco
-
Nov 17, 2018I been playing the whole day with my kids and is one of my favorite Pokemon games. Is great for 2 players and also is a nice entry title, if you like pokemon concept but you are new to games, this is an awesome game to start before move to the RPG games.
-
Nov 16, 2018Don't let all the negative reviews deceive you. They all come from people who did not even try the game itself and criticize it because it is not the game they were wishing for. The mainline game is coming out next year and this has to be judged for what it is, namely a good game.
-
Nov 16, 2018A bold new step in the direction of the Pokemon series. This revisit to Kanto perfectly blends both the classic style with elements from Pokemon GO which makes an entry perfect for both new players and old.
Pokemon appearing on the world map rather than random battles makes for a smoother/less grindy experience. -
Nov 16, 2018Ok listen up, people try to bring this game down but the critic score doesn't lie. Its a good game even though some people are literally crying because it turned out better then they thought and now they're afraid to lose face. As the true fans enjoy this game they are left in the dust crying hahaha.
Very good game 10/10 -
Nov 16, 2018I'm totally charmed by the soundtrack, the visuals, the cuteness, the end of random encounters. Fantastic game, refreshing!
-

Nov 16, 2018Amazing, my ears are delighted by the soundtrack and the clean visuals, Pikachu is adorable as hell.
The game is such a pleasure to play with my son! -
Nov 16, 2018Probably the most fun Pokemon game I played since the DS era, it's so pleasant, so nice, so cute. This game is amazing, I'm in love with it :)
-
Nov 16, 2018OMG I spent a few days on it, lucky me, and I'm excited because it is so fun to play, particular after an exhausting day at work : it's relaxing, joyful, cute and I wish I could download this incredible soundtrack!
My love of Pokemon is back with this game! -
Nov 16, 2018This is a really neat remake, I enjoy it so much, they really put a lot of love and care into it, you can see how polished it is. Nice job Game Freak!

Chaudement recommandé ! -

Nov 16, 2018Pokémon is back on Switch in HD and it's also the most fun and modern pokémon game ever made, wow it's amazing! You really need to try it, you'll fall in love right away!
-
Nov 16, 2018The game is really the best Pokémon since the Game Boy era : it's really a modern vision of Pokémon, it's beautiful, it's magnificent..it's Pokémon!
-
Nov 16, 2018Amazing. This game taught me how to love again. I have played this game and will continue to do so until the day of death. Got to catch all of them.
-
Nov 16, 2018Pokémon Let's Go is just the most fun Pokémon game ever released, it's a nice change! Thank you Masuda!
-
Nov 16, 2018Pokémon Let's Go is the most magical game of 2018, that's said and done :)
-
Nov 16, 2018Lots of blind hate from people who never played the game. Everyone i know who played absolutely loved it. It truly is the best Pokemon experience
-
Nov 16, 2018I thought I would hate the new catching mechanic, but it's a nice change of pace between trainer battles. Great game if you are open minded and view it as a whole and not nit pick on things that "should" be in it (abilities for example).
-
Dec 29, 2018actual legitimate fun, just a good game. No boring crap like fighting every pokemon you want to catch, its just less tedious in general, leading to the fun being immediate and present the entire time you play the game, not just in short bursts every once in a while.
-
Nov 16, 2018Pokemon Lets go is the best Pokemon Games ever, its something different and its much better than the old system.
All these negative Reviews are mostly written by conservative and intolerant Pokemon Fans, and they don´t understand that its a Spin-off.
I like it much more than the general Pokemon Games, even though Im a Pokemon Fan for a long time, too. -

Nov 17, 2018Don't listen to all the negative reviews people. They are either 4 Chan or people hurt about Blizzard making a mobile Diablo game. The game is actually really good. It gives young child a chance to enjoy the original Pokémon games. It also gives a nice spin on the games, i. e. Riding on any Pokémon that is big enough, avoiding the annoying Zubats in caves, and having your starter on your head.
-
Nov 18, 2018Una inyección de nostalgia en vena. Creo que muchos que lo han puntuado negativamente solo han visto los trailers de YouTube.
Mantiene la esencia de la saga (es un remake de amarillo) y dinamiza el Carmelo al no tener que estar combatiendo todo el rato de forma aleatoria.
Quien dice que es un juego de teléfono móvil seguro que no ha comprado ni la Switch. -
Dec 16, 2018Pokemon Let's Go is the perfect game for the new players. It has a strong nostalgic feel, and it's a fun experience when playing co-op, battling legendaries and the gym leaders and collecting Pokemon. The Pokeball plus is very cool too.
To sum it up, it's a fun Pokemon game for all. Looking forward to the Johto sequel! -
Nov 19, 2018It is a great game full of nostalgia, the only difference between this game of pokemon and the other games is that you can not fight with the wild pokemon, but you go directly to capture them, which does not really affect anything, it is really a great remake.
-
Nov 18, 2018This game is awesome I wish people would stop moaning and just play the game

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.

Nintendo Force MagazineFeb 26, 2019If 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]

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]
