Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee
Pokemon was one of the most awaited games once the Nintendo Switch was announced, and while Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee might not be a brand new gen, they’re wonderfully fun remakes of the classic Pokemon Yellow.
Beat for beat, the Let’s Go games follow the same story and outline of Yellow, but there are some big changes made to the overall Pokemon formula.
There are no more random battles, instead, you’re only catching Pokemon out in the wild, the same way you do in Pokemon GO.
Battles are now entirely relegated to trainers, but by and large there are more of them. Luckily, Let’s Go makes it easier to train your Pokemon as well, as each one in your party gets experience no matter what you do.
The art style of the Let’s Go games does a great job of adding even more detail to Kanto, and helps bolster the genuine feeling of joy you get while playing.
There are additional changes layered in, of course, like featuring Red, Blue, and Green as characters and a much more robust post-game.
Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee may be a bit simplified, but some of the changes made are genuinely great, and they’re yet another robust addition to the Switch’s growing library.
