Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

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

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!!

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

This game was very fun to play, after main story it did get a little boring tho. It fits very well for the Nintendo switch platform an I would recommend it to a Pokémon fan.

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.

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

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!

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

Bought for my nephew for his birthday and he loves it. Easy to play and understand yet has just enough difficulties to make it fun and not boring.

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.
