Pokémon: Let's Go Reviews
Pokémon Let's Go Eevee holds true to the original Pokémon games but suffers from changes that would turn off hardcore Pokémon fans.
Good Pokémon debut on Nintendo Switch. However, the casual mechanics to attract users of Pokémon Go seems to us to play against being valiant and take a leap of quality according to the possibilities of the new machine.

I can't believe it took Game Freak over 20 years to give us an RPG-oriented console Pokémon game, but with the ever-changing mobile landscape and the success of the Switch, the opportunity finally presented itself. No, Let's Go is not the mainline entry that EV/IV min-maxers hoped for, but that's still on the way. If you happen to miss this return to Kanto, that's perfectly fine, but I was mostly delighted to go back.
Pokémon Let's Go is a fun game for experienced Pokémon players and new players alike.

Pokémon: Let’s Go Pikachu & Eevee! represent both the series’ oldest and newest generations of titles. For everything the game takes away from the equation, it tries something new — and it’s these additions and improvements that make the game addicting and enjoyable.
With more than 800 Pokémon scurrying around in tall grass and hundreds of moves to consider in battle, it’s easy to forget how daunting the Pokémon series can be for newcomers. That makes Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let’s Go, Eevee! the perfect adventure for those that want to explore the Kanto region for the first time, resulting in a game that’s for everyone – whatever your age.
Pokémon Let’s Go is as deep as Pokémon games come.
Despite notionally being a remake of Yellow, Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! is actually packed full of new features and quality of life improvements.
This trip to Kanto is more than just a return: Game Freak and the Pokémon Company are finally taking their first small steps into the future and making Pokémon more open, lively and modern. This is the way to go!

The new catching mechanics have brought an important aspect of the Pokémon series to life, and by keeping the game generation one specific, it'll help to ease the more stubborn fans into a change that could be beneficial to future games. While apprehension is understandable, the changes are enjoyable, and the nostalgia Kanto induces ensures the games are one of the best adventures on the Nintendo Switch this year.
A nostalgic blast from the past that pays homage to a classic, Pokémon Yellow, and adds to the experience of becoming a Pokémon trainer for the first time once again.
Pokemon Let’s Go is a fun, relaxing RPG dripping with nostalgia. It’s perfect to drop in and out of and a great entry point for both new and old players, providing a well-balanced and enjoyable Pokemon game.
A stripped back hit of nostalgia ideal for Pokemon Go aficionados
Pokemon: Let's Go offers a new and exciting adventure while the Poke Ball Plus controller is one of the coolest devices that I've played with in a long time.
Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! feels at home on the Switch. Its deliciously, vibrant textures and reimagined features brings a new lease of life to a game that is loved by many. While it has its faults, Let’s Go is pure, unadulterated fun, never taking itself too seriously. This is Pokémon for Generation X, Y and Z.
Fair trading Pokemon game with approved combat system and beautiful world, but weak post-game content and story.

Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee! and Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! are out now for Nintendo Switch. Did you pick this game up on release? Did you go with Eevee or Pikachu? Is this your first time in Kanto, if so how are you finding it? Let us know in the comments, or on Twitter, and check back for more coverage of Nintendo games and other Japanese titles.
Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee is the perfect nostalgia fix for the veteran Pokemon fan and an excellent gateway for players wanting to get into the series.
After Pokémon GO massive success, Game Freak tried to bring some of its core mechanics to the mainline series with Pokémon: Let's Go! As a result, we have a new fresh take on the series that does a lot of things right, but also lacks in others, especially the postgame.
