8. Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu & Let’s Go Eevee
The general public may scoff at the Pokemon craze, quickly dismissing it as being a fad that died out around the turn of the millennium. And yet, we saw from the mobile sensation of Pokemon GO that the naysayers will come crawling back when the spark gets reignited. Those damned posers, they probably don’t even know what a Muk is, or how many steps it takes to hatch a Vulpix, or the EV yield from downing a Kirlia.
Though Pokemon GO experienced a similar spike and subsequent dip, people are sipping the Kool-Aid all over again with these expanded entries for the Switch. Taking place in the iconic Kanto region, even series beginners will be flinging balls with the best of them before long – especially if they pick up the Pokeball Plus accessory, which teeters somewhere between superfluous gimmick and mandatory tool of critical importance. The deciding factor, of course, is how much you value Mew. It’s super cute and super exclusive, as it hides inside when you pick the accessory up.
