Question

Soysauce · Accepted Answer

Yes this game can be played 100% independently from pokemon go

matt · Answer

Yes, if you like Pokemon games but don't care for Pokemon GO, I think you'll be happy with this game. It takes what was great about main pokemon games and adds in a little simplicity from Pokemon go in terms of how you catch pokemon.

Just as you I didn't play Pokemon Go that much, but the game still holds some of its traditional mechanics such as; when fighting other opponents, gym fights etc... I believe that if you are a pokemon fan you will love the game. Hopefully my answer helped you if not just ask again and I'll try to answer in a better way.

Manny · Answer

Yes, most definitely. The Pokémon go addition is fun, but it is minor compared to how amazing the rest of the game is.

Billy · Answer

Dont need the pokemon go app. The app allows you to transfer pokemon from the app to the game. Helps with finishing the pokedex. Esp obtaining the version exclusive pokemon you cant get in game.

FunDad · Answer

It's a reboot of the original red, blue and yellow versions of the game with the big difference being that the catch mechanic is the same as the go series most everything else is the same. With that said I say go for it

Viabrandon · Answer

Yes!!! Pokémon go is just an added bonus if you get this game. I have Pokémon go on my phone but haven’t actually even connected the two yet. :)

Pokie · Answer

Yes, its still worth playing! Siblings love it and they don’t play pokemon go

Ashleee91 · Answer

If you like Pokémon this is the game to get it’s more like the older ones you can stay in your home or wherever you would like to play it and it’s just really cool because it’s reminiscent of the originals and not a whole lot like Pokémon go.

Erik · Answer

I would recommend the game, previous experience with Pokemon Go is not necessary and does not hinder your experience with the game at all. However, playing Pokemon Go casually can help a lot with 100% completion.

HappyMom · Answer

Yes! We do not have Pokemon Go and have not played it. We bought this game and have enjoyed it immensely.

Jpaul · Answer

Yes you should it's a remake of Pokemon yellow. I don't play Pokemon go and I still get a lot of fun from this game.

Nickel2244 · Answer

Even if you haven't played pokemon go, but enjoy pokemon, I would definitely recommend getting this game!! This is so much better than pokemon go!

PedroDude · Answer

Yea, completely disconnected from PokeGo and not essential to game aside from Meltan. In fact Pokémon can only be pulled from cell phone game to Dwitch game and not viceversa. But it may get you into playing the phone game, though that would definitely make the pokeball plus item worth- switch game doesn’t need it in my opinion.

Nostalgic4chu · Answer

This game is a mix of PokemonGo catching and Pokemon Yellow/Red/Blue game travel. If you don't enjoy just throwing poke balls to catch anything without battling first then it won't be for you.

LastnameSnow · Answer

If you enjoy Pokémon games, you can still get this game to play and enjoy. Pokémon GO and this game, Let’s Go (LG), interactions add a new experience/alternative options to completing the Pokédex in LG. Some Pokémon are exclusive between LG eevee and LG pikachu. For example, growlith is only in LG pikachu and vulpix is only in LG eevee. So the two options to get the other Pokémon which isn’t available, would be to trade with someone who is playing the other version of the LG game or from Pokémon GO. Still is a neat Pokémon game to play.

Brixs · Answer

Yes, you don't need Go to complete the game. The Go component was very small... Though it was an easy way to get Pokemon.

Creytabell · Answer

Sure, you cant even link PokemonGo until you are most of the way through the game so it is by no means essential to enjoying the game, its more of a bonus feature.

JennaJae · Answer

Yes! If you ever played any of the originals red-blue-or yellow it’s a must play!

Koji · Answer

I gave up on GO before playing this and loved it still. GO adds access to a new pokemon with an evo, and allows you to transfer gen 1 Pokemon from GO one-way. I started playing GO a bit while playing this but I'm not sure it will last.

Gpbabyface69 · Answer

Yes! Even if you don't play pokemon go - The storyline is still an awesome pokemon game. If you do play pokemon go - it's just an added plus to add those pokemon to the console version which has the handset for on the go!

GracefulMelody · Answer

If you haven't played Pokemon go, it's much better in a lot of ways. It's not pay to win, it's play to win. If you like Pokemon, (or liked Pokemon yellow version for the GBC,) then I think you'll like this one. Also, you don't miss out on any game functionally without connecting it to Pokemon go.

none · Answer

yes. 100 times yes. i don't either and it doesn't matter. competitive and shinys have never been so easy and fun

Nico07 · Answer

I play Pokemon Go and have linked my game to Pokemon Go for some Pokemon transfers. To do this you have to play a while into the game, and even then I largely encounter every Pokemon in Let's Go without too much hassle. So the biggest draw seems to be that you could transfer large amounts of Pokemon into Let's Go parks where you can play mini-games where you have I believe 15 or so of the same Pokemon. 

To answer your question, yes just grab this game. The integrations with Pokemon Go are so insignificant that they are largely forgettable. If you enjoyed Pokemon Yellow or are into Pokemon in any way, this game is well worth playing.

Maggie · Answer

Yes! You don't need to have pokémon go to enjoy this game. The only connection between the two is you can transfer pokemon from your pokemon go account (however you cant transfer them back). Transferring pokemon is not required though. It just helps clear your pokedex faster (which is not required to finish the games story).

Eevee · Answer

Yes. You don't have to play go to play this game it just has some go mechanics (like how you catch pokemon) my go account isn't even linked yet and I love the game

Techy · Answer

Well, it's very reminiscent of the classic Pokemon Yellow games. So, if you're a fan of those games,
most definitely! There's also some fresh takes on there that it's not to nostalgia pandering, like Alolan Forms, Mega Evolution, and the
Fairy type.

ThatGuySaid · Answer

It is not required to have Pokemon GO to play this game. It is just an added crossover.
If you've enjoyed the core pokemon series, this is a refreshing take on Gen-1 Pokemon Yellow with additional mechanics from PoGO, Gen6 and Alolan pokemons from Gen7.

The only tie into PoGO is that you're allowed to trade in Gen-1 pokemons you've caught in PoGO to this game (excluding mew).
In return, whoever (even your friend's PoGO accounts) trades their pokemon into the game will receive a Meltan gift in their PoGO account.
However, you're not allowed to trade pokemons from Let's Go to PoGO.

Mataman · Answer

You defenetly should you can play the whole game without thinking about Pokémon go

MicedDudeXL · Answer

Pokémon Go isn't required to play Pokémon Let's Go

Tony · Answer

Yes it's better. Pokemon go is like trying to get you to think the real world is a pokemon world and this the switch game is an actual pokemon world. Its also a very good remake of pokemon yellow and the best visuals of any pokemon game so far. You can ride certain pokemon and certain disable pokemon let you move faster like archanine and Persian.
