Next comes the difficulty that is not existant except for a few unfair battles where I even encountered a trainer that had a Pokemon that was not legitimate (a level 26 Diglett that knows the move Fissure)! Why is there still no options to setup the difficulty as I like it? They could for example have listened to the Pokemon fanbase and build in options for Nuzlock runs where one even could configure the details of it. Instead we get a boiled down version that is even more basic than the original Pokemon Yellow. This was a waste of money.… Expand

    Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee are ridiculously easy games that cannot be lost under any circumstances, to the point that it's difficult to really call them games.

Experience share cannot be turned off resulting in the player always being incredibly higher level than their opponents, and if they got any ideas about doing something earlier than before they would have a 100% chance of success, the game will outright prevent them, requiring players to have the tools needed to easily beat every boss before they fight them. Catching Pokemon is now a mindless affair that has players throw balls at Pokemon as they put up no resistance whatsoever, effectively turning the entire game into the Safari Zone from previous titles.

    The game is a remake of the original Pokemon Red and Blue that offers nothing of its own, instead dumbing down an already easy game to the point of unplayability. You don't have to be a skilled gamer to be appalled at the lack of challenge in these games, as there is so little challenge that there is no real gameplay as the game plays itself, with the "player" as more of a spectator. Nearly all advances the series has made have been left in the dust in the attempt to make the game appeal to a more casual audience. The Pokemon Company has deleted abilities, held items, and over half of the moves in the Pokemon franchise's extensive library seemingly at random. Only generation one Pokemon are present in the game, as the game pretends that the advances the series has made in the past 22 years don't exist. The gameboy advance remakes of Red and Blue, Fire Red and Leaf Green, were far more respectful to the franchise as a whole, as well as having any semblance of difficulty.    … Expand

    PSA: Some of the 1 reviews clearly don't own the game since they're rehashing false information. Mew is not needed for the Shiny charm or Red, natures are still in, you can get Moon Stones (no idea where this rumour popped up that you couldn't) etc. Ignore these troll/spam reviews when possible.

    That doesn't mean I'm defending this game; when it has less content than Fire Red in the    PSA: Some of the 1 reviews clearly don't own the game since they're rehashing false information. Mew is not needed for the Shiny charm or Red, natures are still in, you can get Moon Stones (no idea where this rumour popped up that you couldn't) etc. Ignore these troll/spam reviews when possible.

    That doesn't mean I'm defending this game; when it has less content than Fire Red in the GBA days that's a warning sign. it's fun to see wild pokemon running around the routes ( a feature I hope that returns) or your own following behind you, each with some very fun animations. It's also not devoid of challenge; I'm at the fifth gym so far and I'd say there was 7-8 battles outside of gyms that tested me quite well. However the average trainer is a push-over and this really isn't helped by no wild pokemon battles.

    If you're semi-decent at any Pokemon game you will go fairly long periods of time with any Pokemon in danger, ESPECIALLY the starter. If you value any challenge barely use that OP thing. While it's cute to pat them it feels like a step down from Poke-Amie/Refresh which had every Pokemon; my partner is not my favourite member of my team but I don't get to bond with any of the others.

    There's some changes to Kanto I like; you meet some of Elite Four early in-game and they help you, unlike them being completely absent until the League. You and your rival have some extra scenes together. There's a funny scene in the Rocket Hideout where Eevee/Pikachu is playable to grab something you can't through a small space. There's also a few anti frustration QOL improvements like no HMs and a PC in your bag that make Kanto feel less dated. If you have a young child or someone who isn't hardcore into games, this would be a good first Pokemon game.

    The last thing I'd like to touch on is probably my biggest frustration with the game; NO evolution for Kanto Pokemon that appear in later games. Want a Kingdra? Too bad. Blissey? Nope. 5 whole Eevee evolutions missing in a game called Let's GO Eeeve/Pikachu. It's ridiculous and once again, FRLG had these evos in as well as a post-game. While it's a fully functioning game and there's some merit to be had, I can't fathom giving this more than a 7, and I'm giving it a 6 due to being locked out of Mew thanks to me not wanting to pay more.    … Expand

Apenas he jugado a juegos Pokemon clásicos, por eso no puedo comparar, pero he jugado ya muchas horas a este Lets Go (cosa que muchísimos de aquí no) y he de decir que, Lets Go es un Pokemon divertido, adictivo y suficientemente completo.
    Mucha gente critica lo de las capturas de Pokemon por ejemplo, o la dificultad. Lo de las capturas realmente no es algo malo. Hay muchísimos combates contra entrenadores Pokemon, os vais a hartar, y realmente es algo que le da variedad y frescor. Si acaso criticar que es idéntico a los visto en Pokemon Go y puede que haya gente que esté ya un poco quemada de ese sistema, pero la verdad es que funciona genial.

    La dificultad: al principio el juego es horriblemente fácil, más o menos hasta cuando llegas al segundo líder. A partir de ahí el juego aumenta de dificultad y los combates se hacen realmente interesantes. Es necesario pensar antes de actuar y demás cosas típicas de los RPG. La dificultad en un RPG para mi es vital y he de decir que este Pokemon cumple perfectamente, algo que me preocupaba ya que no paraba de oír que sería demasiado fácil, y no lo es ni de lejos.

    Gráficamente el juego es super colorido y tiene un aire que encantará a cualquiera. La banda sonora es una auténtica pasada cómo está hecha, da gusto oírla.

    ¿Qué pondría como pegas?.
    1) Algunas zonas son algo repetitivas... Por ejemplo zonas con demasiados combates y así.
    2) Problemas de rendimiento muy extraños al menos en modo portátil. Puedo entender que se ralentice el juego cuando aparecen muchos Pokemon salvajes (aunque con los gráficos tan simplones que tiene, no debería entenderlo tampoco...), pero, hay momentos, como al abrir ciertos menús, que la tasa de frames cae alarmantemente, al punto de molestar incluso. Es algo que no entiendo y que deberían arreglar.
    3) ¿Falta de novedades?. Tengo entendido que no hay mucha novedad con respecto al Pokemon amarillo original. De hecho se han eliminado cosas como los huevos y alguna que otra que le habrían venido a este Let's Go que ni pintado.

    Le pondría incluso un 8 a este juego, pero sinceramente creo que quizá podría haber dado algo más de sí: más innovación, nuevos sistemas en vez de coger el sistema de captura de Pokemon Go por ejemplo...
    Esta era una oportunidad de oro para innovar de verdad y en vez de ello se han centrado demasiado en hacer un remake que, por otro lado, ha quedado de lujo y encantará tanto a nuevos como a experimentados.

    Considero que es un juego MUY recomendable, pero si te gustan los JRPGs, hay otros en Switch como Octopath Traveler que le da mil vueltas a este (y otros que se quedan muy atrás, como el World of Final Fantasy, que intenta seguir la estela de Pokemon fracasando en casi todo y con una dificultad penosa).    … Expand

    However aside from those issues, the game is quite fun. I love the overall art style of this game. It really suits Pokemon quite well. The battling can be challenging if you let it, by not capturing many Pokemon, but if you do then its a piece of cake thus far. I think that this game is still Pokemon though where it's not over the top fantastic but its still an enjoyable game to play here and there.    … Expand

    My Pokémon journey started way back in the day, on my Gameboy Pocket (a red one) with Pokémon Blue. I've played nearly every mainline game since that point with a few exceptions so needless to say I'm familiar, even a little worn out with the formula.

    The Let's Go games are an easy, very streamlined version of Pokémon Yellow. It's an attempt by Nintendo and the Pokémon Company to entice    My Pokémon journey started way back in the day, on my Gameboy Pocket (a red one) with Pokémon Blue. I've played nearly every mainline game since that point with a few exceptions so needless to say I'm familiar, even a little worn out with the formula.

    The Let's Go games are an easy, very streamlined version of Pokémon Yellow. It's an attempt by Nintendo and the Pokémon Company to entice users of the Pokémon Go mobile game into a home console setting, of which many may never have considered themselves "gamers" or ever owned a home console. This is evident with several similarities in terms of core game mechanics along with tie ins to the mobile game.

    The first, and most obvious one is the name, there's no doubt the decision to name it "let's go!" was done to draw the attention of Pokémon Go players. Secondly, and perhaps the most controversial decision was replacing the traditional wild battles with the capture mechanic from the mobile game. Normally, you'd wander in grass until you "found" a Pokémon with the type you face being dictated by RNG. From there you'd fight it with your own Pokémon until it was in a weakened state at which point you'd chuck a few Pokéballs in the hope that you could capture it. With the shift towards the mobile game this has been entirely cut and replaced with simply throwing a Pokéball at a Pokémon that may or may not be moving around the screen. There's also a shrinking ring which dictates whether you get a "great" or "excellent" throw, whether this has an impact on catch rates I'm unsure but it certainly gives you higher XP gains. Needless to say, there's very little depth to this sort of encounter. You can throw different berries at Pokémon to calm it (stop it jumping around) or to make them slightly easier to catch however that's about all there is to it.

    Outside of these encounters the game is mostly the same as it always has been, you fight trainers on the road and endeavour to collect eight gym badges so that you can challenge the Elite Four and become a Pokémon Champion. You also have your "friendly" rival, who this time is a childhood friend and not a jerk. I called my rival "(Not) Gary" and you meet him many times on the course of your play through as per previous titles.

    Graphically the game is rather basic in terms of it's art style however that's not to say it looks bad. Pokémon has never looked this good in my opinion and it's great to see a HD title finally hitting the Switch. The Pokémon themselves look fantastic and some of the moves have really exciting animations which really put things into perspective when you think of those classic 2D sprites on a greyscale LCD screen. Put simply, the game looks great and performance was solid across the board. I did notice a few very minor FPS drops when playing in hand held mode but it didn't detract from the overall experience at all.

    The music also sounds great, with those classic tunes getting a rehash for modern times. The voice work for Pikachu and Eevee is also lovely, with Pikachu sounding incredibly cute with his "Pika pika!" antics as we've come to love over the years. I was however disappointed that the other Pokémon still use the tired old sounds from the old Gameboy games. In this day and age with the development budgets involved for Pokémon I'm sure they could voice ALL those pocket monsters and not just the two titular examples. It's very jarring switching out Pikachu with the "pika!" to a frankly low quality and dated "grrrrdbrrrrrr" or whatever from whichever Pokémon you're bringing into the fray. You can do better here Nintendo!

    Controls are limited strictly to the joy cons and Pokéball Plus. I can understand the lack of Pro Controller support to a point, but it's still a little disappointing. Personally I got the bundle with the Pokéball Plus and while it can feel a little cramped after a long play session for a child it will fit perfectly. I do have one criticism however and that is the lack of documentation for the device. You have the B button in the top of the Pokéball and the A button is a push button as part of the micro stick, what they don't tell you is that you can use the "Y" button by shaking the device to the side to access some menu options. It would have been nice to see some more explanation in game than what we get however it's a minor detail. Motion controls for both Pokéball Plus and joy cons work well, with just the occasional "where did that go?" moment when throwing Pokéballs. In hand held mode motion controls are used to adjust your view with the A button to throw Pokéballs.

    In all, I'm enjoying the game. It sets out to do what the developers intended and that's to bridge the gap between the mobile and main line titles. It's not for everyone especially veterans of the series. However it's fun and I can respect it as a Pokémon game in it's own right.    … Expand

You can also combine for dual-catch techniques to increase your chances to catch more difficult Pokemon.

    Siendo fan de Pokémon desde el 1ro este juego me ha dejado un sabor agridulce. Me gusta que sea el primero de la franquicia en HD, que ahora los pokemons anden salvajes y no haya fundido a negro para capturarlos, la comodidad de tener el propio PC en el menú de forma que puedes cambiar tu equipo al instante (creo que esto no lo hace más fácil, simplemente menos tedioso).    -SPANISH-

    Siendo fan de Pokémon desde el 1ro este juego me ha dejado un sabor agridulce.

    Pero hay cosas que no me gustan. Esta saga nunca ha brillado por su dificultad pero si Sol&Luna eran una risa éste no se queda atrás, se nota que lo han hecho especialmente pensado para atraer a la gente que juega Pokemon Go o alguien que no juega videojuegos pero jugó al amarillo hace 20 años y diga ''anda mira que mono sale Pikachu en la caratula, voy a revivir mi infancia''.

    El nuevo sistema de captura no es malo... pero está roto. No combates contra pokemons salvajes pero a su vez subes de nivel a todos los pokemons simplemente por capturar. Es ridículo.

    Sacando la parte positiva creo que pueden reciclar muchas cosas de este juego y mejorarlas para el Poke de 2019 y los siguientes.

    POSITIVO:
    - Gráficos y diseño artístico
    - Los pokémons ya no aparecen en fundido a negro sino en estado salvaje
    - El factor nostalgia si jugaste la 1º generación
    - Si eres jugador de Pokemon Go y nunca has jugado a otro Pokemon, es muy accesible

    NEGATIVO:

    - Aunque Pokemon nunca fue difícil, este juego no es la excepción a la regla ni mucho menos
    - El sistema de captura GO (no malo de por si, pero está roto)
    - Solo se puede conseguir a Mew comprando la Pokeball Plus por 50€... :)
    - Demasiado casual en muchos aspectos que podían haber sido mucho mejores

Random battles often got quite tedious and they basically made it cleaner and easier. I think if they refined it a bit, it would be a step in the right direction. The old method let you strategically place status effects and lower their health to increase your odds and that was what was missing here. All you choose is which ball to choose and maybe throw a berry. Still, I think giving a 1 or 2 score just because of the new capture system is just ignorant. What I really wish was different was the pikachu/evee part. You can play with your respective partner, but only them. Pokemon Amie for X&Y had this feature with EVERY pokemon, so I feel like they took a step backwards with that. The post game is also severely lacking. I don't understand the point/fun of master trainers. I did enjoy having the ability to travel with another pokemon of my choice though. I'm excited to see what their next game will be as I see this as a stepping stone for the devs, to test out the switch's capabilities and to play around with new mechanics.… Expand

The fact that you can see wild pokemon running through the grass or caves makes it so much less tedious than complete random encouters.

    However, the problems around the game are an absence of features that have come to be expected in the series. Pokemon do not have abilities. There is no GTS, and the online features are absolutely bare bones. Wild pokemon aren't battled, just caught. On top of this, the balancing of difficulty is completely out of whack, and there isn't any opportunity to customise this (such as switching off xp share in previous titles). Some animations in the game are incredibly lazy, and I'm not referencing the pokemon here as I think it's understandable to not have every pokemon have fluid attacking animations. Some character animations are recycled incoherently into different activities and it looks bad if you notice it. There's also just a straight-up shortage in the variety of pokemon in the game.

    It'd be fair to disregard alot of the negative reviews for this game, as I think the game does some things well and the experience can be enjoyable. But the game is very casual even for a pokemon game, which is perplexing because the pokemon franchise was always comprehendable by young children. A genuine missed opportunity for something more - don't bother if you're looking for post-game/competitive play or a challenge. Good if you want to focus on collecting pokemon. A good bridge from pokemon go into the main franchise.    … Expand

The starter Pokemon are overpowered and beat everything in the game without trying and get broken moves super early on, they don't let you enter gyms without certain types/levels, you can't battle wild Pokemon, and the enemy AI is trash. Enemy Pokemon will intentionally use non-damaging moves to let you win. Like, constantly. On top of that most other trainers have 1 Pokemon, 2 at best. And if you play co-op mode you get an extreme unfair advantage. How is this acceptable? If you have a full party I genuinely don't think you could lose a battle if you tried. What happened to trial and error? The game holds your hand the ENTIRE game. You can design a game for children without making it such a cakewalk! I mean, look at generations 4 and 5. Those games were definitely children's games, but the difficulty was still ramped up enough that you lost battles occasionally, and you had to battle wild Pokemon to gain levels. I was like 9 years old when I played generation 4 and I struggled, but I still beat the game! Children are not idiots. And if you insist on designing a game for idiots, why not implement a hard mode? Why not AT LEAST give the player the freedom to enter a gym, get obliterated, learn a lesson, and come back once they understand how types work? The game has completely streamlined any difficulty whatsoever. You don't learn or figure out anything on your own- the game does it all for you and gives you all the answers. Not only does it give you the answers but it FORCES you to play the game a specific way.

    There are obviously a few good things about the game. Pokemon following you, being able to access the box anywhere you want, no more wild encounters- all good things. However the game sugarcoats these improvements in the easiest Pokemon game literally ever. I honestly can't believe that the Pokemon Company thinks this is acceptable. Pokemon is a huge franchise and it deserves better. This was the most disappointing Pokemon game by far, especially after generations 6 & 7, the easiest generations of all time. Pokemon can be a game for kids but it's also a game for adults- they can't keep giving us bad games, with bad plots, that have literally no difficulty at all and FORCE you to use Pokemon that make the game easier. The game sucks and it's a depressing representation of modern Pokemon. The games could be so much more, but it feels like GF and TPC don't even care about pleasing fans. I'm sick of it. 1/10.    … Expand

I loved the first one and i enjoed the second one .But from the august i didn't have played anything on my switch and i really wanted to . So i wanted to buy something new and i checked to see my options and i saw that i have to choose from 30euro games with 2 to 12 hours content and 50 euros pokemon lets go which i thought will have more than 30 hours content and technical is an rpg game which i like . So i choose the pokemon .

    I just finished the game with 24 hours playtime and when i say i finished i mean got mewtwo and his mega forms. its the same game as the original 3 games with some new mechanics but it wasn't fun atleast for me it felt like chore more . And the post game i find really laze for my taste to bother .

    What i wanted to say is that for me the new pokemon doen;t worth the money tag but at the same time i can't find anything worth or exclusive to buy on the switch.    … Expand

    TL;DR: A pokemon game.
    Long review: this game is a pokemon game, if you like the other 28 previous entries, you're going to like this. It has a few changes that you may make you think twice (like how to capture pokemon) but it blends well with the game. The game has one of the higher inmersion in the franchise. The cut-scenes are great and the aesthetics is one of the best ones so far.    TL;DR: A pokemon game.

    The game it's a bit easie than previous ones, but you can make it harder by not abusing the catch streak to lvl up.
    They have made a lot easier to get shinies and pokemons with perfect IV, so if you like to go for shiny/IV hunting, you're going to like this.

    Truthfully I was't very excited by the initial announcement and everything leading up to release but I decided the game deserved a fair shot. From my time the best way I can describe the game is an overpriced mediocre rehash with some good ideas with poor execution.

    Let's get the good out of the way. Firstly the music is the strongest aspect of this game all of it is very faithful and    Truthfully I was't very excited by the initial announcement and everything leading up to release but I decided the game deserved a fair shot. From my time the best way I can describe the game is an overpriced mediocre rehash with some good ideas with poor execution.

    Let's get the good out of the way. Firstly the music is the strongest aspect of this game all of it is very faithful and sounds completely wonderful and I hope the OST gets a release in the future.

    Wild pokemon actually appearing and walking around in the world is one of the best changes to game play the series has had in a long time and I hope this aspect actually sticks around.

    Difficulty of the game is mostly fine assuming you ditch your starter early on namely if you went with Eevee. The game's performance is fairly good as well. I've only encountered issues in one area where the frame rate crashed. The changes to the Kanto story we already know are welcomed in mixing it up.

    The secret techniques your starter learns in place of HMs is another good change although this 'change' was basically present in the Sun and Moon games as well via Pokeride. The capture chaining is a nice mechanic as well. This mostly sums up the good points I had with the game.

    Now for the bad points...
    For starters the elephant in the room... the lack of wild battles and the capture system. Whenever I went to capture pokemon after the first two gyms is when the game stopped being fun. The controls regards of how you go (Motion, gyro, stick aim) are all fairly frustrating namely the broken motion controls that very often do what they want to do rather what you want them to do. Couple this issue with the fact that the capture process quickly devolves into throwing a ball and praying that it catches with you having little influence on effecting the outcome aside form throwing a berry (Which honestly doesn't seem to help that much.) Then the added 'challenge' to catching pokemon later on is that they begin erratically hopping around which renders the motion controls worthless and makes the other schemes in undocked mode more frustrating.

    The next point is the visual. Now honestly the game's visual are just okay at best, but that's the problem. The game looks like the Sun and Moon engine from 3DS up scaled to HD. This shouldn't be surprising as I believe it's likely this game was developed in a short amount of time. Hopefully next year will prove different.

    Next we have the post game or rather the lack of. Once you mop up the Elite 4 and finish your pokedex there is little to no reason to keep playing. Master trainers are a thing but while I feel they are a good concept they are very poorly executed. 153 are excessive and them being 1v1 mirror matches doesn't help. It would have been more effective to have just made a master trainer for every pokemon type rather than every pokemon. Beyond these you have gym leader and Elite 4 rematches and a few 'superboss' trainers but little else.

    Now another big point. The striping of a large amount of mechanics. Ignoring the 700 or so pokemon absent there are alot of staple features missing in these games. Firstly abilities and hold items are completely gone removing a layer of strategy and options. Breeding is also gone. Wonder trade is gone, Super training, Pokemon Amie and any of the likes is also gone.

    Now the last point the price point. Now I will say for the pathetic lack of new content the 60$ US price tag is way too much. You can get Yellow on the 3ds eshop right now for 10$ and you basically get 80% of the same content just without the fancy graphics. Firered and Leafgreen were only 30-40$ and managed to outdo these games. Couple that with the 40-50$ pokeball plus (Which holds Mew hostage btw. You can't even transfer Mew from Pokemon GO if you play it) and they're just asking way too much for what is basically a shallow yet pretty rehash of a 20 year old game. Honestly it feels like a lazy half hearted cash grab.

    In closing it's a solid 6/10. It's okay but I find it hard to recommend. If you play Pokemon GO then you'll likely enjoy it alot, if you're someone stuck in Gen 1 with nostalgia glasses you'll likely enjoy it alot as well. For everyone else I'd say skip it unless it drops to 40$ or under (It won't.) we have hopefully fully fleshed and content rich core pokemon games coming next year, so if you got an itch grab an older 3DS game and give it another go or buy the original Yellow on the Eshop for 1/6th the price of this.    … Expand

    I’ll be reviewing this from the five pillars of Gaming, Story, Graphics, Gameplay, Sound, and Controls.

    Let’s begin with the story – You’re a Pokemon trainer, and your goal is to become a Pokemon Master, yeah and along the way you just happen to encounter this evil organization bent on world domination, and you, being that 10-year-old Pokemon Master, are the only one who can help.    I’ll be reviewing this from the five pillars of Gaming, Story, Graphics, Gameplay, Sound, and Controls.

    Let’s begin with the story –

    You’re a Pokemon trainer, and your goal is to become a Pokemon Master, yeah and along the way you just happen to encounter this evil organization bent on world domination, and you, being that 10-year-old Pokemon Master, are the only one who can help.
    Yup, this is basically Pokemon Yellow all over again, and that isn’t a bad thing, but again, 12th and 13th time you’ve may have done this…

    Story checks out, but Gameplay is the most controversial change -
    Capturing Pokemon – Bonus’s are offered for better captures like Candies, and after capturing multiple Pokemon you can capture one with better stats as a possibility.
    Pokemon appear on the over-world, while still mostly constrained to the spawning areas, caves, grass, water, you can see them, avoid them if you want or force the encounter you want, instead of random encounters.

    Some people were worried about wild Pokemon battles being gone and the experience Grind, but in this game, you gain XP from multiple sources which balances out the lack of random wild battles, but I still feel like it is somewhat missed.
    Some people feel there are plenty of Pokemon trainers in place of wild battles, but I still find it would be better to be able to test these new Pokemon captures in a wild battle before a trainer battle, but eh…
    Ridable Pokemon replace the old bike, which is pretty cool because I always wanted to fly on a Charizard in Gen 1

    And this is a remake/remaster/ Pokemon GO and Yellow smashed together, so yes, I can now ride Charizard…and Dragonite, and Rapidash, and Arcanine…
    This is the first Pokemon main series game that is co-opable, but the second player is more of a tag along helper than a primary player themselves.
    It is very great that you can play this game with your child, cousin, friend, whomever wants to play with you can now join in the fun without getting too deeply involved in the game.

    The starter Pokemon are very focused on here -
    Pikachu and Eevee are the ones that are focused on most out of all the Pokemon – they have unique cutscenes, animations, and interactivity.
    Pikachu has some special moves to compensate for it being an electric type as a starter, but Eevee can learn a special move from its Eeveeluition forms, just don’t judge whomever created the names, cause they are really bad, like Baddy bad.

    These new moves have been called OP by many people who have played the game extensively, and to that I simply say you could get moves like Bubble Beam, Thunderbolt, Psychic, Ice Beam, Rock Slide, and Body Slam fairly early in the original Gen 1 games.
    These kinds of games require a player to limit themselves if they want a challenge, because you are not required to keep either Eevee or Pikachu in your team.
    The user interface is completely different, cleaned up menus seem much more modern and look great.

    Go Park is the transferable location where you can send your Pokemon from Pokemon GO to Pokemon Let’s GO, via mini games, it’s great if you played Pokemon GO a lot and will save you a lot of time if you want to challenge every master trainer in the game.
    Because every Master Trainer requires each and every Pokemon, Pidgey, Pidgiotto, Pidgiot… Caterpie, Metepod, Butterfree…
    Every one of them, and… yeah Pokemon Go transferring will save you that time of once again, recapturing them all…

    Controls would be the next biggest change because this game is reliant on motion controls…
    Motion controls are not good, handheld mode works better, but the accuracy of throwing a ball via a joycon is similar to Pokemon GO, it’s not the best.
    And the capture chances always feel random, sometimes a low-level Pokemon will just break free instantly for no discernible reason.
    But to add to this you can buy a Pokeball accessory that contains Mew, more importantly, you can use the Pokeball as a special Joy-con controller, which is supposed to enhance the experience… but… yeah.

    I’ll leave that to your personal opinion, is $40 worth the money to play a Pokemon game with a Pokeball controller, that’s a hard sale for me, but maybe not for you.
    Finally let’s finish with sounds, and from the music to the sound effects, it’s gen 1 and it never sounded so good. They sound great and invoke a great amount of nostalgia.
    Pokémon is really great, and Let’s GO Pikachu will bring Kanto back once again, and finally to the big screen.

    If you don’t enjoy Pokemon GO, you probably will not enjoy this, but if you can enjoy this game a nice nod back to the gen 1 series, you’ll probably have a good time with this game.
    I have tried to avoid all spoilers of this game by using certain footage for those whom haven’t had a chance to play this generation yet.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Positives:
    Seeing Pokemon on the over world is cool but outside of the lets go style of games that focus on singular gens, i wouldn't expect to see in future titles.
    The motion controls when i used them worked decently.
    Some of the gyms get a makeover for the better, Blaine's gym in particular comes to mind.
    Access to the PC anywhere is cool i wouldn't say its a game changer though.

    Negatives:
    There is nothing new for long time fans.
    Catching the same Pokemon over and over again to grind for exp is pretty tedious and battles are not much better as the game really gives you no real reason to not use your partner Pikachu. The Go inspired catching mechanics are not great as it feels like there is really not much you can do to increase your odds of catching Pokemon. This feeling is at its worst when facing a legendary Pokemon and/or snorlax as the game forces you to tire them out with a battle which has a 5 minute time limit for some reason. if you win you get to attempt a capture. However the battling phase feels entirely pointless as the Pokemon does not seemed to be affected by the battle. Connection with Pokemon go is another not well thought out part as you have to recapture anything you transfer over, these are not instant or even easy catches in most cases, forcing you to waste resources. Also for whatever reason the Pokemon you transfer over can run away, there not gone forever in fact they're right where you encounter them. Which begs the question why can they run in the first place.

    The Worst:
    My biggest problem with the game comes in the form of Meltan. To get Meltan you have to transfer a pokemon from go to lets go (Which you cannot transfer back into go.) after doing this you get an item in go, using said item will spawn meltan for 30 minutes. after the 30 minutes you have to wait 7 days to reopen it which requires you to transfer more pokemon after the 7 day period. Then you can transfer meltan into lets go however there is no way to evolve Meltan in lets go. This is a problem because Meltan takes 400 candies to evolve in go and walking with Meltan takes 20km to get a single candy. I caught 10 Meltans on my first opening of the box which is 30 candies, so to get the optional dex entry for Melmetal you have to waste probably months catching Meltans and then do the one way transfer into lets go. .    … Expand

Pokemon Lets go (which ill call PLG) is merely another entry in the series. While it is missing quite a few mechanics from the previous entries that does not make it any less enjoyable. This game is arguably marketed for a younger audience who have either heard of Pokemon at one point or those (the curious) who have never heard of it before. Its bright lights and fantastic visuals draw the user into the world of Pokemon. One of my favorite parts about this game is the introduction of the Pokeball plus controller and that you can play the entire game with just a simple ball and a thumb-stick. The games story has not changed from its original release and is just as charming as I remember it to be.

    Overall the world of Pokemon has changed over the years and I personally believe that this entry is an excellent step in the right direction for the next generation of Pokemon games.    … Expand

Nintendo has been upfront since day one of the release, stating it would be a game to introduce new players (young, old, and yes Pokemon GO players) into pokemon console gaming.

Nintendo thought outside of the box with this new concept, and it's clearly paid off. so continue to complain as much as you want, but it looks like this is going to end up becoming a core series along side the new generations of pokemon games, and I will happily be first in line getting each new remake.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let's Go is a No Go.

    Right off the bat this game baits you with nostalgia only to bash you over the head with its poor capture mechanic and awkward single joycon controls. Adding to the frustration, pokemon can run away at literally any time up to and even including when the pokeball hits. Even the Encounter pokemon can run from you too now.

    Speaking of Encounter pokemon, you now have to battle them first before you can try to capture them. Plus you only have 5 minutes to beat them in. This restriction is quite unfair as now you need to over power your pokemon to finish the battle in time to get to the capture phase.

    The motion controls for the capture mechanic are also inaccurate at times causing your ball to fly off to the left when you want to throw to the right. Most of the time when I wanted to throw directly in front of me, I had to move the joycon up as if I was throwing underhanded. I should mention also that while doing this, my joycon was in the joycon grip accessory alone as not using the Left joycon too felt awkward.

    Next is the issue of the box your pokemon are stored in. in every mainline pokemon game, as well as Pokemon Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness, your pokemon were sent into multiple boxes that could hold up to 20 in the old Gen 1 and 2 games, to 30 pokemon each in Generation 3 and up. Now you have a single box that hold up to 1000 pokemon! Game Freak expects you to be capturing tons of pokemon, but doing so makes it harder to pick out a pokemon to use, similar to picking out a marble from an ever increasing bag of marbles. Without being able to use multiple boxes, sorting pokemon becomes as easy as cleaning a kid's bedroom.

    When it comes to training pokemon you're going to have to rely on that capture mechanic most of the time as the only battles you'll be facing are from either 6 specific encounter pokemon, or Trainers. This winds up giving you little personal experience in battling with little room for experimenting outside of battling the elite 4 or Green.

    While hyper Training was brought back for this game, it's now rendered moot as there is now a candy system in place to also make a sugar junkie out of your pokemon as you boost their stats with more than just Rare Candies. Beware though, if you take your buffed out pokemon online, you stand running the risk of your pokemon facing a sugar crash and having their stats reverted for the online battle unless you choose the right rule set.

    Also online battles and trades are pay walled by the Nintendo switch online service now.

    The amount of unique pokemon you can get is also SEVERLY limited to just the first 151 pokemon, plus what might as well be considered Generation 8's first 2 pokemon, Meltan and Melmetal, as they are not usable anywhere else other than the multi-generational pokemon Go. Speaking of Pokemon Go, at the time of this writing, Pokemon Go has pokemon captureable from Generations 1 through 4, but only Bulbasaur through Mewtwo, as well as Meltan and Melmetal can be transferred into Let's Go. This means that in order to get Mew in Let's Go, you need to get the pokeball Plus while the Mew promotion is still going on.

    Speaking of that device now, the Mew on it can only be redeemed once. so choose wisely what you do with it. As for how good the device is, I can not say as I do not have it.

    While the Game corner does make a comeback, none of the games are playable in it despite the place being converted from a Casino into an Arcade. Instead, you can come here to pick up respawnable items. Fun. /s

    The NPC's of Fushia even lie about the Safari zone now as it has been replaced with Go Park.

    In past games you could get a bike you could ride to speed up, or ride Tauros in Gen 7. In Let's Go, you get to pick the pokemon you ride, from a selection. However if you get too close to a wall, your pokemon goes back into their ball leaving you on the ground.

    Now all that said, I did find somethings likeable about this game. Certain interactions with your partner pokemon were enjoyable, the new Additional story elements were a plus (the additions, not the replacements), and even the part where you get to play as your partner pokemon in the rocket hideout were enjoyable, but they were not enough to save this game.

    Nostalgia can only take a product so far, and that distance is even shorter when you have access to the original game, the first remake, and the port to the 3DS. Pokemon Let's go is a No Go, but because of the stuff I did enjoy, I'm giving it a 2 instead of a 1.    … Expand

    There are some good features however such as the Pokemon roaming the overworld map, so instead of random encounters you can seek out specific Pokemon, and not having to go to the Pokemon Center to swap out party members.

    This game would have been bad and outdated a decade ago. Now, it's just awful. The art style is uninspiring and bland. The music is repetitive and aged. And the gameplay feels 20 years out of date. The core of the game is an incredibly dull and repetitive lull. The story is generic and bland, so all that leaves you with is the two main gameplay mechanics.

    You aim pokeballs. You battle pokemon. That's literally the entire game. After 5 minutes you've already experienced 90% of what the game has to offer. Every fight feels the same, every catch feels the same. The game is just incredibly boring.

    The game feels like a bad handheld from over 10 years ago ported to a modern device. The map is unimaginative and linear, the freedom of movement is virtually nonexistent. And the game is scattered with mind-bogglingly bad QoL decisions. The tree chopping ability is a tedious slog to get through, for example, when there is literally no reason for it not to be done automatically and quickly. Accessing what you want requires far too many clicks: three buttons to look at a map, which is completely useless anyway, which in any other game you could pop up whenever you want. And as a whole the game is incredibly slow: there is a painfully tedious amount of downtime in combat.

    If the other Pokemon games are anything even remotely close to this, I have no idea how the franchise has lasted so long. I really struggle to think of any redeeming features. And this crap cost me £50.    … Expand

    You dont fight wild poke'mon, you only catch them, with no weakening, using the same system from poke'mon go, just with less skill needed.

    Catching tons of duplicate useless poke'mon gives exp to your team, the only thing really resembling training is you let oak grind your extra unwanted poke'mon into candy, and you use that to buff your team.

    It's a shallow form on what poke'mon red/blue/yellow was, and its just kinda meh.

    I hope my kids like it, because its boring the hell out of me, and i have been playing poke'mon since i was 8 when blue and red came out.

    On top of the gameplay issues, there are also technical issues, from the moment the game starts right away you notice the game drops frames, like really bad, movement is not very smooth and the lag gets annoying quickly.

    The game overall just feels sloppy and lazy, i hope this trend does not roll over to the new poke'mon games recently announced, because if it does, they will likely kill the series.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    -Being able to see what Pokemon are in the surronding area not only helps make avoiding wild encounters a lot easier, but it also helps give you a better sense of what kinds of Pokemon are in the area if there’s a specific one you are looking for.

    Cons:
    -Very easy. Veteran Pokemon players should be able to get through this with little to no trouble
    -No option to turn off XP share.
    -No way to battle wild Pokemon aside from legendaries, making it more difficult to grind for experience.
    -While being able to see the wild Pokemon from the overworld helps make avoiding them easier, it kinda defeats the purpose of Repels since there is rarely a situation where you can’t avoid running into a Pokemon
    -The gyro controls for throwing a pokeball can be a bit awkward at times.
    -No option to play with the pro controller or even just both joycons in the grip despite the fact that you can play with both joycons when they are connected to the switch in handheld mode. Why exactly?
    -Mew is locked behind a $50 paywall in the form of the pokeball plus

    Final verdict: The game was better than I was expecting it to be, and I quite enjoyed my time with it. If your new to Pokemon or if you haven’t played Pokemon in a long time and are looking to get back into it, I would definetly reccomend checking it out! Even if you are a veteran player like me you should get some enjoyment from this title, especially if you are nostalgic for generation 1.    … Expand

    La nostalgia te pega en la cara nada más comenzar, cuando entras en el laboratorio del prof. Oak y cuando ves a tus pokemon favoritos brincando por los caminos que conociste hace mucho.

    Pero cuando te topas con el primero viene la otra hostia en la cara, la mala. No hay combate contra pokemon salvajes salvo excepciones muy puntuales, los combates clásicos se han sustituido por lanzar directamente la pokeball con un sistema porteado directamente del pokemon GO. Este sistema está recomendado para usar la pokeball plus (50€ + un Mew gratis) o un joy con, no se puede jugar al juego con mando pro o con el grip, pero curiosamente la precisión del joy con va regular.

    Una vez asumido el primer golpe (usamos el modo portátil apuntando con el giroscopio), llegamos a los primeros gimnasios y recuperamos la ilusión. Volvemos a tener combates, derrotamos a los enemigos y ganamos las primeras medallas, todo bien. Utilizamos nuestras skills de ninja para evitar los combates innecesarios y llegamos al siguiente gimnasio y nos violan sin miramientos. Toca ir a farmear y nos encontramos el siguiente problema, ya no podemos luchar con los pokemon para subir de nivel, solo podemos capturarlos.

    De esta manera se pierde todo vínculo posible con los pokemon ya que los estamos capturando y enviando al profesor de 10 en 10 a cambio de experiencia y caramelos. Además es algo muy recurrente ya que hay barreras de nivel importantes de gimnasio a gimnasio, si hacemos todos los combates no tendremos que farmear tanto pero aún así me parece un mal diseño.

    Una vez que ya tenemos para hacer un buen equipo con tipos variados y de niveles entre 40 y 50 el juego se vuelve más divertido explotando los aspectos estratégicos más interesantes.

    Remarcar la habitual exclusividad de pokemon según la versión elegida, que no por habitual debe ser libre de crítica y es que una persona por si misma no puede completar la pokedex si no intercambia pokemon con otros jugadores o con su cuenta de pokemon GO.

    En conclusión, es un mal remake que toma la estrategia equivocada para hacerlo más accesible. Busca ser más sencillo para nuevos jugadores y lo que consigue es ser más tedioso cambiando la habilidad y el conocimiento por la paciencia. Si a esto le añadimos los fallos técnicos, las exclusividades y el pagar por pokemons tenemos un mal juego que solamente la nostalgia consigue salvar.

    es un buen juego, es grato ver un juego que amamos con gráficos actuales no obstante le cambiaron a la formula, no es agradable tener que estar arrojando pokebolas para atrapar a los pokemon, ni tener que estar atrapando pokemos repetidos para subir de nivel a los que ya previamente capturaste, en general es un buen juego aunque siendo honesto no supera a sus últimos antecesores.

    This game is just bad it's just A down graded version of Pokémon Yellow with better graphics and music.
    It's basically Pokémon Go which I hate mixed with Pokémon Yellow which I find mostly fine.

    Also Mew stuck behind a 50 bucks poke ball ? Yeah this game is legitimate cash grab , doesn't worth 60 $.

    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!

    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.

    Intro: Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu (and Eevee) are great games for a laid back casual experience. However, for those who seek a competitive for deep adventure, these games may not be for you.

Setting place in the original    Intro: Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu (and Eevee) are great games for a laid back casual experience. However, for those who seek a competitive for deep adventure, these games may not be for you.

    What is it/The Good: For those who don't know, Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and it's counterpart Pokemon Let's Go Eevee are the newest titles for the Pokemon Franchise. Setting place in the original Pokemon region known as Kanto, this game takes a classic journey into the modern day by replacing traditional wild encounters with catching Pokemon like in Pokemon Go, the popular mobile game. This region still has the eight gym leaders, elite four, champion, rival battles, and trainer battles just like the other games. Also, the OG evil team, Team Rocket, returns in this game along with the goofy trio Jessie, James, and Meowth. The game also makes the world of Kanto into a place full of life by re-adding Pokemon following your character and introduces wild roaming Pokemon on the routes in Kanto, a feature that I have seen many times in the community, and also the ability to ride certain Pokemon like Charizard and Arcanine like the Pokemon Trainer you are. Speaking of which, the game also limits the soon to be 900 Pokemon to the original 151 and Alolan Form Pokemon from the Sun and Moon games, making it easier for anyone to fill and at least fill the Kanto Dex. Catching Pokemon in this game is just like how it is in Pokemon Go. It can sometimes be tricky to throw a Pokeball in the beginning, but over time I was able to get it down no problem so it shouldn't be too hard for others to get the motion controls down. Plus, you can always put the Switch in handheld mode and move it around your area and snag that pocket monster. Along with the catching mechanics, mobile trainers can now transfer their Pokemon from Pokemon Go to either Let's Go title and train their team on the Switch. However, once a Pokemon is sent away like this, they cannot return to Pokemon Go. Another thing to mention is that the games do a very decent job with visuals/graphics, while others might not enjoy it as much, the games do look great for the most part. In other words, it's not bad to look at.

    The Bad: Along with what I believe was good, it's time to look at what many people are complaining about. Along with what the games added, Game Freak also took away many different features that modern Pokemon games are known for. Features such as EV's and IV's, breeding, egg moves, and etc. to make this game more of a casual and easy to pick title than previous titles. By removing these factors, many competitive and old-school fans are upset that these games were not what they have envisioned the first RPG Pokemon game on the Switch would be like. Also while some people may not mind this, many also dislike the removal of all other Pokemon from different generations. However, to be fair the games were not made for a competitive experience and were not marketed for competitive players at all. Although I can understand why these changes do upset many fans of the franchise. Also, the price of $60 is a bit too much even for me.

    Overall Thoughts: Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee are great games for casuals and beginners to pick up. There are definitely not the greatest Pokemon games and that's fine. While they are not the best for veteran and competitive players, they definitely great gifts for the holiday along with other Switch games like Mario Odyssey, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Legend of Zelda BOTW, and Splatoon 2. If you are still unsure about the games, well that's fine too. WIth the next main Pokemon titles coming in 2019, all of the removed competitive features and Pokemon from other generations will be making a come back in those games so you can wait on that. Plus, the Let's Go games might get a price drop around those times as well. Overall though, these games are great for a casual and relax experience and should be seen as just that. For more information, I would recommend looking at different Pokemon Youtubers and see what they think about the game, look at gameplay footage, and look at reviews from all angles. I hope you've enjoyed this long first review and I'll try and do more like this in the future. Also, excuse me for any major grammar mistakes I might have missed.    … Expand

Now nothing against Junichi Masuda, but he is totally disconnected to what Pokemon was about, I'm not trying to wear rose tinted nostalgia goggles when I say this but Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee are his take on Generation 1 and it shows that he doesn't even know anything that made Generation 1 such a great experience. They could of remedied this by implementing a wild battle system with the Pokemon Go catching system in place but it was either one or the other and with that all wild battles were axed. Pokemon Lets Go Pikachu and Eevee could of also benefited from the designers making it less streamlined than it already was, Pokemon Red and Blue aren't the most complicated games in the world and they are very linear RPG's, making them more streamlined is more insulting rather than making it look like the developers are holding your hand through the game. There was a lot right in Let's Go like the music re compositions and seeing wild Pokemon on the over world like just like how Pokemon Ranger had them, following Pokemon are back from Heart Gold and Soul Silver but with all of these nice compliments I can give it, it fails at being something everyone can enjoy which was Masuda's intention with this title as people who are into Pokemon are going to probably shrug this game off as a babies first Pokemon game, casuals are going to find the games difficulty insultingly easy deeming it boring, and the kids who were once our age when we played Pokemon Red and Blue are going to completely ignore Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee and play there Fortnite and Minecraft. If you can look past these issues I have brought up with Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee than you'll probably enjoy it more than I did or if your a beginner who wants to get into this series may I recommend you play a vastly superior title like Heart Gold and Soul Silver and then work your way to play the other games in this franchise.… Expand

Because of this i won't go deeply in the competitive side of pokemon. I'm a competitive player myself, but this game exaggeratedly damages competitive battling with just the removal of abilities, items and moves in an unnecessary attempt to simplify the game. The game is a remake of Pokemon Yellow and takes us back again to Kanto. The graphics of the game are appealing and well done, thanks to the Switch system, the games can really shine much more than they could in the 3DS. However the same can't be said about the OST and some animations. The OST isn't really that bad it's just mediocre, the OST is mostly the same tracks the original gameboy games had but played with violins. Animations for 3D NPCs in the overworld have always been lazily performed and barely changed from the Sun&Moon games, in fact most animations are reused assets from the previous titles. Some move animations like thunderbolt have been updated and have new refreshing visuals but the rest of moves (95%) still have disappointing animations like they did in previus 3DS titles.
    The gameplay is fine and the story is barely changed from the original gen 1 games, even though the gen 1 games story sucked, the emphasis the let's go games puts in some moments makes it somewhat acceptable. When it comes to difficulty the game isn't that easy as it was expected to be, if you are not a new player, don't use overleveled pokemon and disable automatic switches in the game options, if you do this the game can be hard enough, even though the pokemon games have never been too hard actually, some pokemon have always been bad when it comes to moves, stats and typings, the candy mechanics can make your pokemon too powerful so the best thing to do is just to use them on pokemon that are weak like non-mega beedrill, or pokemon that you caught with bad IVs. There is one thing that is kind of a double edged sword, this is the following pokemon function. What could possibly be bad about this? Evryone likes to have following pokemon back, and you can finally mount on some of them! The bad thing is the automatic friendship gain with having pokemon outside of the pokeball. The Pokemon amie has been removed (kind of a stupid move, just to centralize eevee and pikachu playing mode), so how do you make pokemon that aren't pikachu/eevee adore you and automatically use insanely broken tactics in combat? With the following function. What that means is that if you don't want your pokemon to be overpowered because of friendship you are forced to not have following pokemon nor mounts(damaging the only source of fast movement). There are no field moves like cut in these game, just like the previous titles, even though these time is your pokemon who cuts/surfs/flies/etc it's done in a kind of stupid way but it's just fine. The game having some alola references, certain dialogues, and updates moves and types are the only references you'll find to other games, overall nothing too special like always. The Post-Game is non-existant besides the fact that they have something called master trainers who are just a bunch of boring battles to show how "good" you are with a certain pokemon. I must say that this is the first game where i have fully completed the pokedex, a popular post-game sugestion for pokemon players is to try to "catch'em all" which was something usually too hard and tedious. With the shortened pokedex and the faster catching system you can actually try to complete the pokedex (easier with someone who has the other version of the game).

    The main thing the game has changed from previous titles are wild pokemon catching, which isn't really bad. It's easy enough and simple enough to throw pokeballs and it is more realistic having pokemon on the overworld than suddenly finding a gigantic pokemon on some tall grass.Catching wild pokemon is overall easier but at the same time it's harder when it comes to ensure a catch. If you don't want to waste your masterball your only other option is to use an ultraball with a berry, an the pokemon can escape if you fail too many times which is kind of uhh... It doesn't really make the game harder, it makes the game luck-dependant which kinda sucks. When you are playing normally the catching system will be better for you, on serious cathes like shinies and legendaries, you may choke because of your depressing bad luck. There is no sleeping/false swipe and you can't even use all of your pokeballs since the pokemon will eventually flee. Also as there are no wild battles, you will have to level up you pokemon with wild pokemon catching. Which may fill your PC too much. In conclusion the pokemon go catching system has it's pros and cons.
    To summarize, the game is a step back and definately not worth 60$    … Expand

These games are an insult to everyone who purchased them. The graphics are identical to Pokemon GO with none of the excuse of it being on a phone. The gameplay (if you could call it that) is directly ripped from the mobile game with the story of the Yellow being lazily glazed over it. There is nothing in this game that justifies the cost. I have to return both of these games because I have more self-respect and self-awareness to let Gamefreak take advantage of me. Anything less then demanding a full refund would be a desperate act of denial. I understand that a lot of people played GO and they enjoy this game but, you deserve so much better than GO's sloppy seconds. There is a depth to this game that is sorely missing with none of the passionate flash that enraptured kids in the 90's. I have to wait for user reviews for every pokemon game after this, Gamefreak simply has no credibility anymore putting out something so shamefully half-assed. If you need a reason justify your Switch purchase, buy Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, Breath of the Wild, or Bayonetta 2. If you desperately need to play a pokemon game, play the original Yellow Version on ROM. Gamefreak doesn't deserve the money from digital sales, go pirate the game that's 20 times better from 20 years earlier.… Expand

    This should have been a slam dunk. Unfortunately, Gamefreak didn't realize or care about how much changed due to the exclusion of battling wild pokemon. An example of this is how easy it is to breeze through any cave/dungeon because you only have to fight the trainers who are already a joke due to the change in difficulty.

I caught a bulbasaur in veridian forest and raised it to level 6 so it learned vine whip and then immediately destroyed Brock without a sweat.

    Do you love Pikachu? Do you love Eevee? Well then you should consider purchasing Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu or Pokémon Let’s go Eevee But only dumb little babies would get this game! I made a mistake purchasing this game and here is why.
    First of all, this game was created by Game Freak and released on November 16, 2018. But it was actually first revealed on May 30, 2018. This game was    Do you love Pikachu? Do you love Eevee? Well then you should consider purchasing Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu or Pokémon Let’s go Eevee But only dumb little babies would get this game! I made a mistake purchasing this game and here is why.
    First of all, this game was created by Game Freak and released on November 16, 2018. But it was actually first revealed on May 30, 2018. This game was released on the Nintendo Switch.
    When I first got this game I was excited because this was going to be the very first actual Pokèmon game besides the spin-offs. But I should have never put my expectations that high. I will give it the benefit of the doubt and say that the graphics look nice and seeing the first generation Pokèmon is really nice and the environment is nice and polished but they could have done better. It was nice to see nice graphics on a better console compared to the 3DS XL.
    The controls on the game are very odd and throwing the Pokeball is a problem. These controls are new and very different from the originals. My biggest problems with this game are how the took out the most important concept of Pokèmon and replaced it with something way different and bad. In all the other pokemon games to catch a Pokèmon, you had to low the Pokèmon health but there were risks to this but that was the fun part of the game. But in Pokèmon Lets Go Pikachu they threw all that out the window and replaced it with something way worse. From the inspiration of the most popular game, Pokèmon go and used the throwing the Pokèball at the pokemon and using berries. But actually aiming the Pokèball and throwing it is very inconsistent. It takes way to much effort trying to throw the pokèball left or right and this got very annoying. And sometimes I have this problem where I throw the Pokèball and it would go nowhere near where I threw it.
    The difficulty in this game is so easy I and it had zero challenges. I finished this game with ease and it wasn't satisfying at all. At some degree, I feel like I wasted my time. I had no trouble whatsoever in any part of the game and I never used a potion or a revive throughout my playthrough. I never died once and catching pokemon was so easy. I beat the elite four with only two pokemon. I didn't even use my other pokemon ever. There was no challenge to beat a trainer or even a gym leader because I would one hit kill every pokemon even when our levels were not that far apart. This game was made for very little kids so making the game super easy is understandable. But kids are not dumb! Kids need challenges and they need to strategize and think ahead instead of not just press one simple button to kill a Pokèmon. In the original Pokèmon yellow there wasn't any mega evolutions or alolan forms so this makes the game even easier. And what I think the worst part was how your rival isn't even your rival like in the original games. For example, Blue was a very challenging opponent and it was nice to beat your rival every time. But now they replaced Blue for is named Trace. He was very friendly and the opposite of a rival but he still was one. He would reward you with items and it was not satisfying at all to beat him.
    Some of the great things Pokèmon Lets Go Pikachu has is the customization on your character and Pikachu. I had fun dressing my Pokèmon and me as team rocket and I loved putting funny little sunglasses on Pikachu and giving Pikachu a little afro. I also like the mega evolutions and alolan forms because this brought more fun to the game. One of my favorite parts in traveling with your pokemon. I enjoyed riding my Dragonite and flying through the air. It was fun to ride my Snorlax for the first time and my Onix.
    In conclusion, I would rate this game a 3.5 because it was nice and short and some parts were unsatisfying. The controls were weird and the new way to catch Pokèmon was so boring and sad. For Game Freak to make this game so easy was a horrible idea. Kids are not this dumb for you to take out everything difficult about the games. There is no satisfaction and I was very disappointed after finishing this game. I think this game should be priced cheaper and not full price $60 a triple-A game. This game is not worth spending $60 so if you're thinking of buying it please don't it is not worth your time.    … Expand

    Take the old original games on gameboy and overlay the good graphics and bad mechanics of the mobile game and overcharge it for what it is.

You don't get a starter Pokémon as your first team member, instead you get Pikachu or Eevee depending on what game you bought. Together you will travel around the Kanto region on your quest to become the Pokémon Master and maybe defeat Team Rocket along the way. Same premise as any other Pokémon game.

    Graphics/Animation - Graphically the game looks visually uninteresting. This game could honestly fit on the 3DS if Nintendo ever made the decision to port this. Kanto is so boring. Aside from the towns you visit, your going through the grassy plains and caves every corner you turn. You do get Pokémon roaming around the world which gives the area some sort of life, a detail I appreciate. But humans just stand there waiting for you to battle them or talk to them. I want to see them do something other than stand their.

    You know I remember a time when Game Freak would redesign a Pokémon's sprite for their next game. Pokémon Lets Go Pikachu/Eevee have been using the EXACT SAME MODELS since X and Y. That game is now 6 years old and yet we still have Pokémon using the same battle animations and poses again.

    Battles never really feel climatic even when fighting against the Elite 4. Your Pokémon just stand there and wait for an attack to happen, whilst nothing interesting goes on in the background. I remember entering one of gyms one time and noticed that there were other trainers watching you in the background as you progressed to the gym leader. But wouldn't it be cool when you were in battle if maybe they were cheering you on. Or something flashy happened in the background of those fights. Welp that never happens, so sorry.

    Music - By far the best thing I love about this game, I still want to get the soundtrack of this game. I love the theme of when you battle another trainer or gym leader, its the only thing that makes the battles somewhat interesting. Pokémon never disappoints in the music department

    Being A Trainer - There aren't any wild battles now in lets go. Whenever you encounter a Pokémon, you immediately begin to try and catch that Pokémon. Using your joycon, you grab a pokeball and throw it at the pokemon in an attempt to capture it. Now this does make me feel like an actual trainer, but the motion controls half the time can be uncooperative. I would some times miss loads of throws when I knew for a fact that I threw the ball in the direction I was aiming for.

    My biggest problem with catching Pokémon in the wild is that they are the only way you can level up your Pokémon. In previous games you would fight a Pokémon in the wild and gain experience points whenever defeating one. If you were low on health or ran out of moves, you would go back to the Poke Centre and heal your Pokémon FOR FREE. You have to have money to buy pokeballs and considering they are the only way you can level your pokemon up aside from rare candies and trainer battles, this means I can't spend money on things I actually want to buy like TMs.

    Overall Lets Go Pikachu is definitely a one and done game for me and it hasn't really convinced me to preorder Sword or Shield. Like I said, not a bad game, but definitely one I don't want to revisit.    … Expand

    It's an okay Pokémon game for kids and people new to the series and only played Pokémon Go.

    This game is not a mainline Pokemon game, nor is it an RPG game to be taken too seriously. Let's Go, Pikachu is a visitation back to Kanto for any fans of the game since the first two generations of the game or their remakes, yet at the same time serves as an amazing way to introduce today's youth to Pokemon on it's new home console.

    This game is unique in that fact that it balances all of the possibilities in Pokemon better than I've ever seen. There is statistical EV and IV training for serious competitors, an easier shiny hunting method for collectors, a spin off story to the generation one games, and simple gameplay for the most casual players.

    This game offers a plethora of paths to choose from as a Pokemon Trainer, and makes every one of them provide the player with hours upon hours of fun. As a filler between the last Pokemon games, and the new ones coming to the Switch, Let's Go Pikachu will keep Pokemon casuals satisfied.    … Expand

    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]
