Description
Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let's Go, Eevee! are remakes of the 1998 game, Pokemon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition. These games are based on the popular mobile game, Pokemon GO, and use the Nintendo Switch's unique features to make the game more accessible to newcomers and keep veterans entertained. Your partner in the game, Pikachu or Eevee, will accompany you on your adventure and help you fight against trainers and catch Pokemon. The games also feature two-player simultaneous play.
Return to the Kanto region and experience a classic Pokemon journey in
a whole new way with Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let's Go,
Eevee! These two titles were created by GAME FREAK, the developers of
the Pokemon core RPG titles. Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon:
Let's Go, Eevee! introduce a new play style that anyone can enjoy,
combined with the fun of collecting Pokemon.
Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let's Go, Eevee! are based on
Pokemon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition, which first launched in Japan
in 1998. These updated versions have been reimagined to make the most
of the unique capabilities of the Nintendo Switch. The games also
capture the fun of Pokemon GO and its intuitive Pokemon-catching
mechanic.
Befriend Your Partner
At the start of your tale, you will encounter either Pikachu or Eevee,
depending on which game version you choose. This Pikachu or Eevee will
join you as your partner in your adventures, growing together with you
on your journey.
Pikachu or Eevee will be with you wherever you go, either hanging on
your shoulder or riding on your head. Don't let their adorable
expressions fool you into thinking that cuteness is all they offer,
though. Your partner will be a dependable ally in battle, too.
In addition to determining your first partner Pokemon, there will be
some differences in the species of Pokemon that you encounter and the
rate at which you encounter them based on whether you choose Pokemon:
Let's Go, Pikachu! or Pokemon: Let's Go, Eevee!
Catching Made Easy
The games utilize the abilities of the Nintendo Switch to add new and
more accessible ways to experience Pokemon and play in the Pokemon
universe. Even those who have never played the Pokemon series before
will be able to dive right in-Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon:
Let's Go, Eevee! are easily approachable for newcomers to the series,
but also have enough depth to keep veteran Trainers on their toes.
The practice of catching Pokemon has been changed dramatically from
previous titles. Now you can use your Nintendo Switch's Joy-Con to toss
a Poke Ball at your target with one hand, either by pressing a button
or flicking your wrist. With fewer buttons and intuitive action, it's
never been simpler.
Play Pokemon Together
Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let's Go, Eevee! also feature
two-player simultaneous play. By sharing one of the Joy-Con controllers
with a partner, two players can adventure at the same time. Throw Poke
Balls together when you encounter Pokemon to boost your chances of
successfully catching them, or have a friend lend a hand by joining you
in battles against Trainers in your game.
Pokemon GO Connection
There is a deep connection between Pokemon GO and Pokemon: Let's Go,
Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let's Go, Eevee! For one thing, Pokemon
originally discovered in the Kanto region that you have caught in
Pokemon GO can be brought into these two new Nintendo Switch games.
That's not all, though. Look forward to more details at a later date.
Whether you're a longtime fan or you're taking your first steps into
the world of Pokemon, Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let's
Go, Eevee! provide a captivating way to experience the adventure.
