    pokemon yellow was one of my favorite games growing up so it was a no brainer to pick up the switch remake. the newly added pokemon go mechanics for catching pokemon are frustrating at times but also extremely rewarding when you land that pokeball. it's not the best game for people looking to play co-op but there are moments when it's nice to have a player two by your side to help you battle and catch those rare and shiny pokemon.

    Amazing "remake" of a classic

    I remember playing the original Red/Blue/Yellow back in middle school and have loosely kept up with the series over the past 20 years playing at least one game of each generation. Reliving Kanto in a 3d environment and hearing all the classic songs revamped gave me chills the first time. This game is an easy 80/100 as a stand alone title, but if you have nostalgia on your side it boosts it up to near perfect. I rate it 95/100

    Love the game,but prefer the originals. Game doesn’t allow you to level up by fighting in the wild. Only catching more Pokémon which requires a lot of poke balls which you have to earn a lot of money for. Eventually you get short on money and there’s not to many events to continue doing after your at a certain point.

    I grew up in the 90s and loved the world of Pokemon. This game brings back the traditional Pokémon game with new graphics and new ways to play: battles still happen, but instead of battling Pokémon to catch them, they use the same method as Pokémon Go by throwing a pokeball. Shiny Pokémon are still in the game, and some other fun surprises. Overall, I really enjoyed a game that reminded me of my childhood.

    Some people may dislike the ball throwing mechanic for catching wild pokemon but there are still plenty of trainer battles and the graphics and scale of pokemon out in the wild are great

    I remember getting Pokemon Blue for Gameboy and watching the first episode of the Pokemon anime way back when and this game takes me right back to those times. Pokemon Let's Go takes us back to a remastered version of the original Pokemon games with new co-op game play and mechanics from the Pokemon GO mobile game. The graphics and music are wonderful and I've enjoyed playing it with my family.

    I purchased this game for my nephew for his recently purchased Switch so he could experience Pokemon for the first time. I have personally played one version of each generation, including the remakes such as this one. The Kanto pokemon will hit your nostalgia if you played Red and Blue back in the day on the Game Boy Color.

    The pokemon series has finaly come to upgrade to the semi console instead of traditional 3ds games. The graphics are upgrade compare to the limitation of the 3ds hardware. The only complaint I have with this game is the pokemon go capturing system specially if you dont have the pokeball controller. Its kind wonky and you will miss a lot of pokeballs if you are using your regular controler

    Let’s Go Pikachu vs. Evie

    My son received, and had asked for Let’s Go Evie as a Birthday gift. When his friend got Let’s Go Pikachu he received a copy as well. While some of the characters are different (and not available on both games), the game itself is similar. My kid is happy and insistent that the games are different enough that he wants both. However, from a consumer perspective it seems like a shameless way for Nintendo to utilize a ploy to sell the same game twice but capitalizing on a kid’s wish to “catch em all.” Ugh. I would recommend in order to placate a child since they will like it. As a parent buying the game, I would stick with one.

    I enjoyed playing through Pokemon Yellow again in this remake. This is the first Kanto Pokemon game released post-Gen IV physical/special split, which opens up a lot of previously non-viable pokemon and gives this game a unique feel. My one complaint is that Silph Co. and Cerulean Cave were grossly simplified which took away from the satisfaction in the later half of the game.

    This is a remake of Pokémon Yellow version from the GameBoy and is actually quite nice, pleasant, relaxing to play. Pick this up if you need a Pokémon fix. It's link to Pokémon Go (the phone game) is quite cool too and you can get an exclusive Pokémon called Meltan when you transfer monsters. Let's Go becomes a kind of 'storage' for the iPhone/Android app and that is great too.

    This is basically a remake of Pokemon Yellow with some slight changes. The updates are welcome and make the game less of a chore. Instead of random encounter battles with a million Zubats in Rock Tunnel, you now can simply run away from them if you don't want to encounter them because you can see them in the overworld. You also only catch random pokemon, rather than battling them.

    To me this is a blend of classic Pokemon gameplay mixed with new elements of pokemon go. I like the exp. share from the get go. There are plenty of battles along the way to your next location to attain your next badge. You can actually see the pokemon you will be catching unlock random battles. Overall good game but I can't wait for Pokemon Sword & Shield.
