    Amazing... Loved it

    I know a lot of people have an issue with these games as not being real pokemon games, here's the truth: The only thing this game doesn't have is level grinding. Other than that its like pokemon yellow. instead of battling wild pokemon to level grind, you just need to catch pokemon. So yes this game definitely is easier. But as you catch wild pokemon, your pokemon get exp points. and it doesn't matter which pokemon you catch. If you catch a Pidgey, your pikachu gets exp points. I also like that you can have 2 players playing and battling making it easier too. I think it's a great game for someone to experience the old pokemon games in a new updated way. The graphics also look beautiful!! Lot of reviews i saw said not to buy it, but i'm glad i did!

    Talk about a remake!!

    Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu is a very fun game and also a remake from the gam boy version of Pokémon yellow. This game has new Pokémon visuals and battle animations. You also get to interact with pikachu and feed him berries and give him cool clothes to wear. I had fun playing this and now I’m ready for Pokémon Sword and Shield!!
