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!

A great Pokémon game, it’s like Pokémon Go. Great 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!!

great game i played it on the switch but i got it for display to keep sealed for my collection

My son loves pokemonso i bought him this game last christmas. It really challenges young people caise there is some reading but my son was 5 so im glad because it help him want to read to be able to play.

I brought Let's Go, Pikachu plus a Poke Plus Ball for my daughter's Easter gift. Our girl practically jumped so much of excitement when she saw this game she had always wanted for a while! Perfect gift especially on Easter Day! She been playing with it since she received it!

I love the game it was amazing, this was a good refresher until next years pokemon and also I love that we can see Pokémon in the wild no more random encounters but I loved that random encounter as well both are good in their ways. Spent 4 hours and 10 minutes for first shiny and it was fun

Good remaster of an old game, some fundamental things have changed which (thank god) are welcome changes, highly recommend playing this one if you played the originals

I bought this one for my kids for Christmas and they've never played an actual Pokémon RPG before this. This was a great way to introduce them to the ways of the game , outside of the card game. I also picked up Evee for myself at launch. I'm glad I did. Great game to bond with the kids.

It brings back the good ol days! It’s the same only better! I already beat it! Lots of extras to do after tho! I’m still playing!

My grandson just loves this game. We bought this game for a 5 years older and it was a hit

Waithimg for this game for long time it make me very happy exelent game

Got the game for my son who’s a big fan of Pokémon. He specifically ask for this game for Christmas and got it on sale. I’m glad that he will play it on the Switch so I can borrow it and play it too.

The game did try. I do really like the aspect of your Pokémon being able to follow you (and in some cases riding on them) but the battle aspect left so much to be desired as well as the catching mechanic. Very average Pokémon game for the switch. It’s a good nostalgia trip game but does not offer much more than that.

My child love this game is a great game for the whole family

This game is great! It has the same story line as the original Pokemon, with a twist. The one thing that is new, which I didn’t like is that to catch Pokemon, it is the same as Pokemon Go. You just throw Pokeballs hoping to catch them, rather than battle and then catch them. This was a let down for me as that was a big part of the strategy when playing the old games. Also it spreads out the XP during battles and catching amongst all your party Pokemon, rather than just the Pokemon you are using at the time. It is hard to level up just one of your Pokemon to be strong enough to take on the other trainers.

This review is for those that may be confused as to what you're getting with this entry. Many people seem to be confused and think that this is Pokemon Go but on the Switch. The only thing that has carried over from Go is the catching/fighting mechanic and the stats. Other then those things, its essentially like the older entries but with many improvements. Leveling up Pokemon is mostly done through catching Pokemon as fighting doesn't yield much exp and you're only allowed to fight trainers. This is something that many will see as a set back as you no longer fight Pokemon to catch them. I agree with this sentiment and believe they should allow us to fight Pokemon. Every stat can be maxed now and allows Pokemon that were once useless to be viable now. I personally like this change as the old glass canons and tanks limited what Pokemon were worth using. Pokemon are now able to be seen in the wild and this brings the game that much closer to the anime series and brings lots of life to the series. There are no longer anymore random encounters as well. I think the game is very well done with some annoyances specifically the catching mechanic, but other then that its a game Pokemon fans shouldn't miss out. I hope this review gives you more insight into the game and helps you decide whether this game is for you or not.

So nostalgic! Pikachu is my favorite Pokémon, so being able to play my favorite game, with my favorite Pokémon as my partner, is just a dream come true honestly. I’m so happy I was able to purchase this at Best But at such a reasonable price.

I have played Pokemon games since the beginning on the Game boy so believe me when I say that Pokemon Lets Go is a wonderful addition to the Pokemon series. Pokemon Lets Go is not merely a remake of GB Pokemon Yellow, but includes several news features that breathes new life in a franchise that has become stale in the last few years (with the exception of Sun & Moon). My favorite is that you can see Pokemon in the wild, a concept that would have blown my 8 year old mind back in the day. The fact that I can also choose when to encounter Pokemon relieves much of the grind from the old games. The catching mechanic is probably the newest and most controversial feature of this game. Instead of battling each wild Pokemon to a pulp and catching them, now a player must simply throw a pokeball and some candies to catch. I was not sold on the new mechanic until I tried it for myself, and I have to say, I really love it, especially with the pokeball plus accessory. The same exhilarating feeling of "will I or won't I" catch that pokemon never gets old. That is not to say there are no turn based series traditional Pokemon battles. With a plethora of trainers ready to battle at a moments notice, I never felt deprived. Throw in the best Pokemon graphics we've ever seen in a main line game, and you have a wonderful title for both the young and young at heart.

I went into this game pretty skeptical after learning it had been dumbed down a bit compared to old Pokemon games and will be incorporating elements from Pokemon go. I decided to give it a chance anyway and I've enjoyed every minute of it. It is easier than previous games but you still do need to know about the different types of pokemon and what's weak or strong for the opponent you're battling. Being able to see the pokemon while walking around makes the game feel less grindy since you knew exactly when you were about to get into catching a wild pokemon. My one complaint is regarding the controls. I've mostly played the game in handheld mode, but playing it docked only works with a single joycon or the Pokeball Plus so if you were hoping to just play it with the pro controller. Hoping an update fixes this
