Description
Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! is a game that has been designed to bring the fun of collecting Pokemon to everyone. This game is based on the popular Pokemon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition, which was first launched in Japan in 1998. The updated version of this game has been reimagined to make the most of the unique capabilities of the Nintendo Switch.
In this game, you will encounter either Pikachu or Eevee at the start of your tale, depending on which version you choose. This Pikachu or Eevee will join you as your partner in your adventures and grow together with you on your journey. Your partner 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!
The games utilize the abilities of Nintendo Switch to add new and more accessible ways to experience Pokemon and play in the Pokemon universe. Even those who have never played any other games from this series before can dive right into it as these games are easily approachable for newcomers but also have enough depth to keep veteran Trainers engaged.
One significant change from previous titles is how catching Pokemons work now; it has been changed dramatically for these versions. Now players can use their Nintendo Switch's Joy-Con controller(s) to toss a Poke Ball at their target with one hand by pressing a button or flicking their wrist - making it simpler than ever before.
Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! also features two-player simultaneous play where two players can adventure together by sharing one Joy-Con controller each time they encounter Pokemons; they can throw Poke Balls together when encountering them and boost their chances of successfully catching them.
Overall these games are an excellent way for anyone who loves collecting Pokemons but hasn't played any other titles from this series before because they're easy-to-play yet still challenging enough for veterans alike - making it an excellent addition for anyone looking for something new and exciting!
