Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve played this game once already, and got it to play again. It’s still really fun! I recommend especially for people who prefer more original/earlier Pokémon generations. Eevee is really cute and I love how you can match outfits with her, style her hair, etc. The story is cool as well and there are some really fun and interesting areas to explore.

The game is fun for all ages. It’s a pretty good story line. RPG style. Tons of Pokemon.

A fantastic teenage if the classic game which feels familiar while also taking a step in a different yet likable direction! Only thing I can nitpick about it is it's gimmicky catch system and it was even said by the developers that it has been made much easier so newcomers to the franchise can play it but otherwise they did a fantastic job!

I've always been a fan of Pokemon, but lost a little interest when some of the Pokemon started to look a little less like Pokemon at about generation 5 and up minus a few from Pokemon X and Y. This game takes you back to the beginning when we all played Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow. This game has great 3D animation that shows the familiar Kanto Region in a new light which I think is pretty cool. I was skeptical about this game because of the leveling up system where only Trainer battles and catching Pokemon levels up your party, but it works and you get used to it. Catching Pokemon in the game is really fun. Battling is fun too, but the battles don't feel crazy accomplishing because you can really overpower your Eevee in this game. You can't evolve your Eevee into any of it's evolution forms, but if you want to have one of the Eevee-lutions, you can find some in the wild, and it will take some time. This game overall is purely fun and not much of a challenge like the first few Pokemon games, so if you're looking for a challenging Pokemon game I would recommend re-playing Gen 1 to Gen 4 over again if you need a fix. Would highly recommend getting this game if you have a Switch, or if you know someone that has one close to you this would be a great gift. I give it 5 stars because although it was easy, it was still a fun game and didn't disappoint.

This game, as well as Let's Go Pikachu, is a great combination of aspects from the mobile game Pokemon GO and traditional gameplay of classic Pokemon games. Revitalizing the Kanto region in this way is both refreshing and enthralling; however, the controls when capturing wild Pokemon being fixed to motion controls may be frustrating to some players on occasion. This minor flaw does not detract much from the overall structure of the game in the long. Overall this game is highly enjoyable and a great way of introducing newcomers from the Pokemon GO market into the traditional style of Pokemon.

I'm still super early in the game (only to Mt. Moon!) but so far it feels like a great intro to Pokemon. You're set back in the same region as the very first games, so there's a lot of nostalgia for older players, and catching mechanics are identical to Pokemon GO. Trainer battles play out the same as older games. Unfortunately, based ONLY on the bit that I've played so far, the nostalgia from the older games can also feel a bit stale--even more so than each generation's repeat of the standard Pokemon formula, since both the formula AND the setting is repeating.

This game is so much fun and reminds me of the classic Pokemon Yellow, Red, and Blue I played as a kid. The story is the same but with a few fun new additions for the switch. I love being able to play with Eevee and having my other pokemon walk around outside their pokeballs. Highly recommend for anyone who loved the classic games a kid.

Let's go Pikachu is a great remake of Red/Blue/Green/Yellow from the 90s, but marred by gimmicks. In TV mode, you're force to use motion controls which in some cases become down right unresponsive. However in handheld/portable mode it's great Pokemon fun and a good entry point for anyone who's ever wanted to play the franchise. All is made up for with the fact you can pet your preferred mascot basking in their loving affection. Be warned though, you don't fight wild Pokemon, but try to capture them Pokemon-Go style instead.

Had great fun playing this game. This was my first experience playing Pokemon on the Switch and it was much more enjoyable than my Nintendo 3DS experience. I enjoyed being able to see the Pokemon in the wild rather than just tripping over them suddenly. It made picking and choosing which ones to go after much more enjoyable. I also loved that the Pokemon were "actual size", as in Onyx was HUGE compared to a smaller Pokemon. Sound quality was well made and even sounded good through small in-ear headphones. Just playing for a few hours here and there in the evenings, I was able to complete the game in about a month. Not including the "after game" extras. Overall a very laidback game to play.

If you played the original Pokémon video game this is chock full of nostalgia. If you’ve never played a Pokémon video game but you love PokémonGO this is a great intro into the mainstream games and an awesome substitute for days when going outside is just impossible

The graphics and artwork are very clear, crisp, and detailed. Game play is smooth, intuitive, and matches the Pokémon Go phone app very well. Game does not require much (if any) quick coordinated movements - simple to use. If the user likes Pokémon, they will enjoy this game.

This is a very simple introduction to the core Pokemon series. For beginners/new comers, the series' simplified mechanics for battling keeps the gameplay fast and straightforward. However, for long time fans this may be boring at time. Example: ground moves like dig can effect Pidgeots or Gengars again. This is due to lack of abilities like Levitate, protecting them from such physical moves. Traversing the world is a fun experience all around. It's even more enjoyable when you have Pokemon to ride. Leveling up is also a hit or miss experience. For the core story, there are plenty of trainers for you to get your team to level 60 to easily conquer the pokemon league. Once that is done: Catch. Catch. Catch. Trick here is stacking as many multipliers as possible when catching. This awards you with a lot of exp. The part of the game that suffers the most from this grind are the master trainers. You need Pokemon # level 70 and up from what I have encountered and there's a master trainer for most of the 150. I didn't find much of an incentive to take on that challenge Overall most of the game is fun and exceeded my expectations. I originally thought balancing would be a huge issue for the game but it's well rounded

This game definitely blew me out of the water. I thought it was going to be way too easy, but honestly it was just about the same difficulty as some other Pokemon games, and the new mechanics were a great way to breathe fresh life into a classic iteration of Pokemon.

Great game. My girlfriend instantly fell in love with eevee. The fact that you can have any pokemon walk with you is great. Had to get used to not battling wild pokemon, which i soon got over. The game is a bit on the easy side but nevertheless still worth the buy

My favorite pokemon Series were the original games (Blue, Red, & Yellow version) Resurected via the Pokemon Let’s Go series, Enhancing the picture quality and adding a more 3D approach gaming expierience! JUST ENOUGH to please the NEW crowd, BUT old school enough to please THE FAITHFUL OLDER FANS (Like me)! PS: NINTENDO, please DON’T CUT BATTLES MORE THAN YOU HAVE ALREADY WITH THE WILD POKEMON. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT WAS TO SAVE THE HASSLE OF CATCHING POKEMON, BUT THAT WAS ACTUALLY HALF THE CHALLENGE, AND A PRETTY FUN EXPERIENCE IN MY OPINION! Now it’s a little TOO EASY... Yes even for the younger fans... Anyways, Thanks. And instead of teaching the SECRET TECHNIQUES TO THE TRAINER TEACH THEM STRAIGHT TO THE POKEMON, otherwise that brings up a whole unexplored realm of questions such as... WHEN HAVE THE HUMANS EVER HAD SUPER POWERS or SUPER ABILITIES IN THE POKEMON WORLD??? Lol

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!

If this is the first time picking up a Pokémon game from the whole franchise, this one along with Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu! Is the best choice to start! It’s very simple gameplay and can get you up to speed with catching the first 150 Pokemon!

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!

Although the traditional trainer battlers remain, the primary method of catching pokemon is now much like Pokemon Go - no battles are involved and timing your throw is the key to success; this is also the primary way you'll be leveling up your Pokemon. If this doesn't sound appealing, then this game most likely isn't for you. The game's artstyle is clean and easy on the eyes and the music is as good as ever. If you don't mind a different take on catching them all, this game is worth a shot (and you also get a cute Eevee that always rides on your head).

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.
