    The 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.

    Refreshing 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.

If you read some of the reviews that people have left a lot of them don't even make sense. There are a FEW low rating that seem like they have taken the time to actually play, but remember the keyword is a FEW. I think this is another case of people bombing a game because the developers took the game in a different direction then what they felt entitled too.

    I really like the way you have to catch Pokemon now, by actually throwing the Pokeball just like Pokemon go. This game is not for everyone but coming from a veteran who has played every Pokemon game created I really enjoy the game's simple feeling but I still get to relive my childhood. This review bombing is the reason why Metacritic is a horrible site. It seems like lately whenever game devs take a series in a different direction a huge fit must be thrown    … Expand

Just don't leave a negative review when you haven't even played the game. I've been a hardcore fan of the series and I finished all core games. I am very happy that this is AMAZING.

    At first, the game hits the nostalgia very hard that it is almost impossible for me to dislike the game as a long time fan. Everything remains faithful to the original game. The new graphics are very cute and adorable. I love the movement of my favorite Pokemon, Pikachu. And as I kept plaything this game again, I felt like a child again.

    If you are coming to this game with an open mind, I am sure you will love it. But if you are going to complain about the small stuff, then forget it and wait for the upcoming core game.    … Expand

    Do 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.

    Let me preface this review with the fact that I own both a Blue and Yellow cart, both with 151 Pokemon on them. Yes, I have an original Mew, obtained through legitimate means. I own Crystal with max gen 2 Pokemon as well. The list of titles of games goes on. I have a Charizard and Chansey foil, too. And that Mewtwo you could only get from Nintendo Power.

And that Mewtwo you could only get from Nintendo Power. So yeah, safe to say I am a Pokemon fan.

    Let me also preface with the fact that this won't even be the only Switch game. If you aren't down for an entry level experience, there is a "core" Pokemon game representing the 8th generation coming along in 2019. There's no reason to bash this game in lieu of that. More ttraditional mechanics will return.

    The hate for this game is unwarranted. I can only imagine the review bombers are those who never even gave the game a chance. It's sad that this is what "reviews" have become. Never even giving a thing the chance to be what it is.

    And Let's Go, Pikachu IS a great game. A solid entry in the Pokemon game list, and certainly worthy of being the first, full-fledged big-screen Pokemon game. While it is lacking some of the modern conveniences and mechanics from some of the later titles, it's not without charm or depth.

    What this is, is a re-imagining of Kanto for a modern audience who, perhaps has only really heard of Pokemon via the wildly popular mobile game. The catch mechanics are similar in many ways, and it allows for (one-way) integration of Pokemon from your GO! account.

    That is where the similarities to the mobile game begin to part ways, however. Battles are more in the traditional sense, like the 1st gen we fell in love with. There are few new interesting mechanics, and mega-evolutions are still a thing, as well. While the challenge isn't as pronounced in the early game, it's not without the depth of team building that is suggested to be lacking. You can absolutely build and tweak individual stats, and more effectively at that, since you don't need to trade out abilities for things like CUT.

    It is a beautifully rendered image of Kanto, as well. The music is fantastic, too. There's a lot of nostalgia here for those of us who actually played Red/Blue/Yellow.

    It doesn't have the depth and complexity of X/Y or Ruby/Sapphire. Nor should anyone expect it to. No one should be surprised by what this game is, there have been plenty of early reviews and gameplay demos to give us a pretty good idea of what's going on here.

    Aside from that, the "core" game is still coming. So if that's what you're looking for, then avoid this, and don't downvote it just because you don't intend to buy it. If it's not for you, it doesn't make it bad, and Game Freak should be given credit for stepping outside of the box and changing things up a bit for the new generation.

    Don't sleep on it just because there are haters. Give it a shot if you've actually given a fair look and it still interests you.    … Expand

    This game is incredible, for longtime veterans of the franchise, newcomers to the series, AND those who have only ever played the first and/or second generations of games.

    Anyone who played the originals will appreciate the gorgeous graphics and orchestral soundtrack. Gamefreak has perfectly captured the essence of the original games, and included some of the improvements of the mainline franchise. After your second gym, you can pretty much go wherever you want, fighting gyms in any order you want, foiling team rocket's plans along the way, and eventually make your way to the elite four. It's nothing special, but despite being marketed towards a younger generation, the game holds your hand FARRR less than the previous 4 entries in Alola.

    The story is just as it was in in the originals, although some points of the game are accentuated by appearances from elite four members, gym leaders in other towns, Jessie and James, and even multiple appearances by Blue, who is not your rival in these games, but is more of a wandering mentor, like Cynthia or Steven in some of the other gens. Anyone who's played HeartGold and SoulSilver will also recognize a certain Team Rocket admin by the name of Archer. There are simply too many references to the other games of the franchise to list, which makes perfect for veterans.

    Those who love to hunt for shinies or the "perfect" pokemon will also not be let down in these games. IVs and EVs are both back, despite popular misconceptions. By catching the same pokemon repeatedly, you increase the stats of the next pokemon of that species. After 31 catches, the next catch is guaranteed to have perfect IVs in at least 4 stats, which is simply incredible. You could go even further, up to 100 catches of the same species, to guarantee maxed IVs, but there's always the bottlecap lady, who will max out any IV of a pokemon in exchange for a bottlecap, just like the previous games.

    These games truly are a reimagining of the original Kanto games in the best possible way. There is a slight compatibility for Pokemon Go players, who can transfer their catches from Go into Let's Go, but it is completely optional, and can be ignored with no drawbacks. The capture mechanics, of course, have been changed from a battle, to throwing balls with proper timing. Personally, the motion controls of this game... are completely horrid. However, playing in handheld mode completely changes the game. You simply aim and shoot. Utterly, simple, perfection. It helps that it feels like you're playing a fully 3D game on a tablet shaped like a large GameBoy Advance. Even more nostalgia. And finally, Green is in the game. She is amazing. 10/10 game for that alone    … Expand

    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.

    That said, I'm having a really great time, if you don't go around catching every pokemon you see (thus keeping the exp you get under control), or limit your party when they're getting too strong by swapping with weaker mons (that actually makes you feel more like a trainer that takes care of every mon he's got), the game can "feel" challenging too, but again...pokemon's never been challenging in the first place, I wasn't expecting challenge here either.
    The graphics are great, the new catching system is less grindy in a pleasurable way, keeping the experience at a decent pace and allowing you to enjoy and relax trough te story.
    I don't know why people was expecting something different, given that this game has been marketed as an entry point for new players that have discovered and got passionate about pokemon trough the mobile app.
    There's no need to make it a matter of principle, if you are into the competitive/more focused approach to the game, stick to the current gen till the next comes out, in which I hope some of the quality of life improvements (such as the new catching system) will be carried over, in tandem with the more strategic-rpg like elements like held items and so on.

    If you wanna have some relaxed fun and have some spare money, just get the game and be positive, this game is about childhood and positivity, it's the game I would have wanted to play when I was a little kid, and it's the game I'd like nowadays kid to play.    … Expand

    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.

This spin off is that, a spin off, nobody has complained about the changes that the pokemon ranger or rescue team had, because they complain about this? The experience with the game so far I like, it's simple, and for those who complain that they have removed content, I remind them where the pokemon saga comes from, when there were no comparable items, where nobody knew about ev or ivs ( I think there were not any), natures, abilities and so many examples. Pokemon let's go is a proposal that does not lie: it is a game to integrate pokemon go players to the stories of the franchise ... is it something that's wrong?

    Regarding the difficulty ... well, I've relived my childhood mistakes (this time for underestimating it) against Brock, and I've lost ... yes, lost. The loss of random battles, has not made it easier, but I feel even more difficult (I hate to spend hours capturing) if it can be said that it is not a difficult game much less, but even more difficult than some of one's own main saga.

    The graphic section ... as always gamefreaks has done a good job ... halfway, since in what is optimization has some fps slumps ... as always

    I qualify the game with a 10, not because it is, since I think it is an 8-9 at the most ... I rate it with 10, since many have rated it very badly (too bad really) with a 0 or a 1 undeserved    … Expand

Despite it not being as grindy and difficult as previous Pokemon titles, this is a very worthy Non-Mainline title to have the Pokemon lexicon behind. Ditching the overwhelming original random encounter system works very well in this game's favor, making the game feel faster and less drawn out, and the always-on EXP-Share system is very nice for evolving Pokemon you only wanna evolve to fill up the Pokedex faster. Catching Pokemon is fun (I use the Pokeball Plus FYI since I bought that version) and it's more engaging than previous titles due to this. Also considering it's hugely based off of Go, the goal is to catch as many Pokemon as possible, and you send them to Professor Oak who in turns gives you stat candy to raise the stats of your Pokemon, ditching the old ways of Stat Increasing items which were limited and extremely hard to grind Post-Game in older titles. My only complaints are the forced handholding this game gives you to help you find your next objective, but since I'm a Gen 1 veteran I'd obviously find that annoying considering I have gone through this story before.

    A 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.

I was only looking for a Rattata for a trade as well!

    This is not a representation of what is coming in Gen 8 this is bonus game for us to all look back on what has gone before and maybe few hints of what's to come? Or maybe not since Junichi Masusa is not directing Pokemon 2019 so who knows!?

    The game is no more easy or hard than gen 1 itself. I'm finding a few tough trainers dotted about. Gym requirements are not a big deal you unlock them while you know playing the game? You CAN still make it a challenge as well.
    I'm not keen on how OP your starter is BUT you don't have to keep them in your party anyway so set your own level of challenge.

    Meltan isn't that hard to get and Mew while I agree making it available only with the Pokeball for now) will probably be an event for everyone in the coming months once things have settled down.

    The fact is that you want to find things to dislike and hate you will find them but really? Life's too short guys!
    I really don't understand the entitled fans who are bashing it and leaving 0s just because it's not what they wanted. You have Gen 8 coming next year but I'm sure you'll find something to whine about with that as well because 2018.

    Overall after putting 20 or so hours in so far Let's Go is a cute, fun and charming game that I'd love to see develop into its own thing to tide us over between generations. Johto next please Game Freak! :D Just like the Ultra games let the junior developers handle Let's Go while the senior staff work on the core games! :)

    Lots 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

    I 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).

    actual 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.

    Pokemon 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.

    I don't like the idea of giving a game a 10, this game is not a 10. However, it is definitely not a 5 out of 10. Therefore I am giving it a 10. As a long time fan of Pokemon (since R/S/E) I can easily say that this is a fun game. At it's core this is a very Pokemon experience. You catch pokemon, and you have battles.

I've never felt over leveled and if I'm underleveled I know I can go into wild grass catch a few pokemon and catch up in levels. It's not tedious and I don't feel like I get over leveled. However, that all being said there are things taken out of this game. But to that I say that none of it takes away too much from the over all experience. Yes this isn't the ultra hardcore game most smogon fans were hoping for. But it is a fun diversion until the next game. Which should be all that matters (though to some fans it isn't).… Expand

    This game may not be what everyone wants but most have to remember gamefreak like to test the waters first when working on a new system i found the hd models excellent the catching mechanic became addictive its not as easy as some reviewers
    Think the late game can be quite difficult the nostagia is there
    But i will say this is just a taste of how much more they can do when gen 8 comes    This game may not be what everyone wants but most have to remember gamefreak like to test the waters first when working on a new system i found the hd models excellent the catching mechanic became addictive its not as easy as some reviewers

    Don'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.

    Una 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.

    Pokemon 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!

    It 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.

    From someone who has actually played the game (rather than 99% of these negative reviewers), the games are a breath of fresh air to the Pokemon franchise. The connectivity with Pokemon Go is a brilliant feature, and your Pokemon will follow you around (or you can ride them to move faster).

    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.

    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]
