Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this game and it definitely brings you back to the red/blue days that I enjoyed so much as a kid. The maps are obviously more with the times, but compare to images of the old games and you will see what I mean. Even the text dialogue is the same!

So this game is essentially a 3-D remake of Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow from the Gameboy, but in a good way! You can choose which Pokémon you want to follow your character (all Pokémon have their own sprites in game), there are no more random battles (you see all Pokémon in the field and when you run into one you just throw a pokeball at it to catch it. All of the combat is only against other trainers), and all of the old routes and tricks you remember from the old game are still viable! One star removed because I honestly wish they advertised this game as a remake of Red/Blue/Yellow instead of trying to capitalize on the “Pokémon Go” craze (there is transfer functionality from this game to Pokémon Go if you so choose, by the way.) If you love the old games but want them in a new coat of paint and maybe a tad easier to explore the world with, don’t miss this!

This game will keep you entertained forever. It works well and has a good story line.

I am by no means a hardcore Pokemon fan, but I have loved every minute of my 20+ hours in this game so far. In my opinion it takes what is great about the main Pokemon games and adds in the simplicity of Pokemon Go to make a great game to play on the go.

I grew up with Pokemon, and being able to revisit Pokemon Yellow with such fun graphics and gameplay made this a must-buy for me. The catching mechanic is styled after the massively popular Pokemon Go mobile game and "simplified", which means this game will attract a lot of newcomers to the Pokemon franchise. But there is sufficient depth in terms of IVs (individual values) and the new AV mechanic (awakening values) that will give advanced gamers a lot of gameplay value. Not to mention you can get shiny pokemon, Alolan pokemon, and even shiny Alolan pokemon! Oh, and don't forget about the mega evolutions as well. Game Freak (the developer; this is technically a third-party game) did a great job with linking the Pokemon GO mobile game to the Pokemon Let's Go Nintendo Switch game. Now excuse me as I *SIT ON TOP OF* my Charizard and fly it into the Kanto sunset!

I bought this as a gift for my nine year old niece to play on her switch. I bought Let's go Pikachu to play with her. It is a remake of Pokemon Yellow and features connectivity to Pokemon Go and catching aspects of Pokemon Go. You can't battle wild pokemon and can only really battle other trainers with the exceptions of legendary pokemon. The game is easier for beginners to the franchise and features the kanto original 150. The graphics are very cute and you can pick whatever pokemon you like to follow you. Some are version exclusives. Overall happy with this game and a cute remake with lovely new visuals to pass time.Not as challenging for older more experienced players familiar with the franchise but great for younger children.

First off the game is an absolute joy to look at as the graphics are much better than any previous installment in the franchise. Plus the game is super nostalgic bringing back all those great old memories. The game is easy but it is still fun.

This is a cute little game, I like Eevee so I played it, its entertaining enough. It's essentially the same game that I played in 1997 in school. But hey, people are still forking out $$$ for the same game, Pokemon has a strong fan base and I think most fans will enjoy this. Oh! Very easy to shiny hunt in this.

i loved this game, it was the remake i always wanted, played it a ton even after end game. the worlds lively and beautiful, brings it back to the original gym leaders, legendary battles against iconic characters. its worth the money.

The product: I got what I was looking for. I read through reviews, user feedback, watched youtube videos of gameplay. It all matched up. The mechanics of the game and updated visuals (from the Nintendo Game Boy days) are legit. A review summed it up best: if you're looking for a nostalgic walk down Pokemon lane with less grinding (continuous, monotonous in-game tasks to move the story forward), this is it. The service: I bought this for an in-store pick-up. It was ready within 5-10 minutes. Notifications are sent by email and SMS (which you can opt out of). In and out - and the service was awesome (the folks who worked the desk are super friendly and sport relevant knowledge about the product you're buying vs. standard customer service greetings). Great job, BB. Keep it up and I'll keep coming.

While using the same capture mechanics as the Pokemon Go mobile game is kinda fun to start off with, it quickly gets aggravating if you don't keep an eye on your inventory. Other than making sure that you keep enough pokeballs available for capture, it's still a fun game and a nice nostalgic run through the Kanto region.

When the game first got introduced I was sure it would suck. After watching people play and the awesome graphics I gave it a try. I’m so glad I did and was proven wrong about the game. It’s just a fun Pokémon game, fun for everyone.

A great return to an old classic. It does take a while to get used to the changes. Namely the catching and experience systems are vastly different. Its an adjustment but the game is very fun.

sure its different and yeah its like go, but thats ok i had my doubts. but it can be just as tough with trainer battles. catching pokemon is still hard sometimes. even without battling. but yeah the graphics are awesome.

This game hits the nostalgia buttons for me but adds new story segments and paths as you traverse Kanto in a beautiful HD look! There's callbacks to the original RBY and the anime for the fans of who started out in that generation so be on the lookout! Eevee is just teeth-rotting cute, it should be crime! Even though it has the Pokemon GO mechanics of flinging the Pokeball with motion controls, you don't really need to use them. I play the game in Handheld Mode and for me, it's better and still captures the portability Pokemon maintained throughout the 20 years. This is definitely an awesome game for those who want to get into the series and those who got into the series back then! Would most definitely recommend for upcoming Pokemon Masters!

I remember when I first got my Pokémon yellow version and it was so cool being able to run around with my pickachu next to me. Now you can do that with any Pokémon you want. Similar story like to yellow version.

The game is a lot of fun, but once you beat the elite four there isn't much worthwhile to do. It took me about 20 hours to beat and I'm done by now. It's missing some comforts related to levelling up pokemon without evolving. The engame pokemon master trainers are a joke, all you get from beating them is a title and nothing else - no items, no exp, no nothing.

Pokemon, if you don't play it what else are you doing? Wasting time I guess... much better to spend your time in Kanto. Also, Eevee rides on your head which is cute

The graphics are better than any of the previous Pokemon games, very nostalgic and fun to play! However, in this game you can no longer battle wild pokemon (with a few exceptions) and instead you must capture them to gain experience and progress in the game However, you can still battle trainers you find along the way, as well as challenge Team Rocket, gym leaders, and finally the Elite 4 (just like in the original game) The most exciting new feature to me is the ability to ride on or walk alongside your pokemon (like in HeartGold/SoulSilver but now you can mount certain pokemon too) Overall, I'd say this game is worth the buy and definitely recommend to anyone who is a fan of the series, especially of the 1st gen games.

Amazing upgrade of the original games. Love the location updates and overall look of the new game. Gameplay is basic, your really looking at the amazing visuals.
