This is a very cute game, bought it for my sister and being able to pet and play with your Eevee is such a cute mechanic, big fan of it!

The game was a gift for my grandson and he absolutely LOVES it! He’s an avid gamer and considers it a classic!

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

The best way to enjoy the original generation of pokemon with a new twist! #bulbasaurgang

A very fun Pokemon game with a great choice of the the first game for those who haven’t played it. I recommend this to those who haven’t played Pokémon before and would like to get into, it’s a bit different from the mainline games with the Pokémon go aspect but it adds a refreshing air.

This is a very good game for little chldren and my little is excited playing it.

Play this because it shows teamwork a bunch of teamwork and it was a pretty cute

My son is having so much fan playing this game!!! Now he wants the Picachu game!

Ok first off it’s a dream come tru cause it’s online and they cap all the first gen Pokémon and gym leader in it some in love with the game

Let's Go Eevee is a fun take on the original Pokemon Yellow with a few new twists: Graphics: Updated to Gen 7 standards with clean models for the Pokemon and smooth animations for most attacks. Human characters are more expressive, though your player character keeps the same expression, with the exception of cutscenes. Battle System/Gameplay: Wild pokemon battles are few and far between being restricted only to Legendaries and Snorlax. Wild Pokemon can only be "battled" by catching them in a Pokemon Go style format. It becomes tedious quickly trying to grind for experience for Gym battles and can easily waste pokeballs. Trainer battles are as they usually are in the main games, but there is a more prevelant sense of RNG (CPUs landing criticals more often, status ailments, etc). If you have the patience, grind a little to try to be over leveled. Finding wild pokemon is just walking the routes waiting for the models to spawn, like Pokemon Go. Shinies will spawn as shiny in the overworld, so stay on the look out and you can get lucky! The Safari zone is no more and replaced by Go Park, syncing to Go will make some parts of the easier. Though it is not need (Go-less playthough for me) Like in Gen 7, HMs are also no more. Your Eevee will use them as Secret Techniques so you can more freely build your team. Pokemon storage: The Pokemon Box is 1 box, forcing you to essentially catch and release (outside of your main team, Legendaries). It's much easier to just catch an evolved form later in the game to add to your dex, as leveling is far too time consuming. Story: It's close to the original Yellow's but the story of Marowak/Lavender Town were dialed back. You find out about Marowak's fate-just not immediately like before and it feels like they were obviously trying to water it down. It also doesn't fit right to the timeline. It seems to take place between Red/Blue and Gold/Silver. This may just be my nostalgia talking, but this made the story feel out of place. Legendary bird battles and Snorlax are kept unchanged. Mewtwo's battle is also unchanged, though he is no longer the final boss, being replaced by Red. Music: Nicely updated from the original and breathes new life into the places I used to visit a lot as kid. Legendaries get their own remix on the wild pokemon theme and battle music is very well done (final rival battle, especially) Your partner: Petting and playing with Eevee is a fun little way to relax from the rest of the game. It's so cute to hear him purr while petting him. Playing with your Eevee also raises your whole team's happiness, which helps negate some of the RNG of the battle system when facing other trainers. Easily one of my favorite new elements of the game. Your rival: Not Blue. Trace is likable but is way too nice as a rival. It's not like beating Blue and enjoying the moment, it just feels bland because of his nature. Not to mention his battles feel way too scripted to try to match with how Blue acted. Even his final match felt...anti climactic and unworthy of the music you hear at the end of the Elite four. Bring back the ruder rivals! Overall: Enjoyable after a slight learning curve with the catching, battle, and experience systems. The story is slightly altered from the original, but it doesn't take away from feeling nostalgic. Eevee is a lovable companion and makes this experience to Kanto fun! Also, the save data will get you Gigantamax Eevee for Sword/Shield. You'll also get the Companion Eevee spirit in Smash Ultimate

To start off, I've been a fan of Pokémon literally my entire life. I grew up playing it and would buy Nintendo platforms only when a Pokémon game would be released, but I felt like the magic had been lost a bit once I hit Pokemon X/Y, and I didn't even bother to pick up Sun/Moon. As innovative and unique as the series was, I felt like the 'traditional model' of the series had just worn itself a bit thin after so many games. I was hesitant to pick up Let's Go, but I'm so, SO glad I took the risk. With all that being said, here are my pros and cons (spoiler free as far as the plot goes): PROS A. The Gameplay - I honestly loved the fact that you can see the actual Pokémon walking around in the tall grass. No more running into Zubat after Zubat after Zubat... The battle animation (and the visuals overall) are gorgeous, and I love the concept of a 'companion Pokémon' (although I wish they could evolve). B. The Pokéball Accessory - This is definitley a gimmick and not necessary to the gameplay at all, but using the Pokéball was SO fun to me and I stuck with it for about 80% of the game - the only time I didn't use it was if it was charging or if I was away from home. I did notice that it was easier to catch Pokémon without it since the Switch makes it much easier to aim, but for most Pokémon it worked really well. It was also super easy to set up and would connect to the Switch pretty much instantly each time I began playing. Besides the initial charge, I only needed to charge it once so the battery life on it was much better than I had expected it to be. C. Everything Feels New - Though this is a rehash of Pokémon Yellow, between the totally updated graphics and new style of play it felt like a new game with familiar faces. It was really nostalgic seeing some of the same enemies and the original 151 Pokémon, and refreshing to see the series stripped back to a certain degree. CONS - A. Too Easy - I feel like this is the most common complaint I've seen and I'd definitley have to agree. I'm by no means a battle expert... But I literally didn't lose a single battle. Not even to any Gym Leaders or the Elite Four. There's a thing that your pokemon will do where every so often they'll "tough it out" and retain 1 HP after being dealt a hit that would've otherwise made them faint and while it's nice in theory I felt that it happened WAY too often and swayed some battles in my favor when I should've lost. For most gyms and the E4 my Pokémon were consistently 5-10 levels below my challenger, it doesn't make sense to me that I won some of the battles I did. B. Too Short - I realize there are Master Trainers left to take on once you beat the main storyline, but I beat the main part of the game in around 25 hours. At the pricepoint I just wish that I was getting more playtime out of the main game. C. Pokémon GO Experience - Based on the title alone it's known that PLG ties in with PG, but I really wish they'd include more of a tutorial/explanation of how leveling up Pokémon works. In the typical games it's via battle and you can't have more than six Pokémon in your party, but in PLG it's totally different and relies heavily on the PG aspect of quantity over quality and sending the Pokémon you don't want/need to the professor. Your Pokémon gain experience with each wild Pokémon you catch, but the fact that you can send your spares to Oak in exchange for candy is never really explained. I haven't played PG in quite a while and was totally confused at first so I feel like for the few out there who never played PG period it'll be extremely confusing. An optional tutorial would've been a nice addition, but you kinda just have to fumble around in the beginning for a bit before the concept makes sense. Overall, I feel like this is such a great game and I can't wait to see where Pokémon goes from here. I'd say if you're on the fence about it to go ahead and go for it because it's honestly so much fun. There's enough of a plot/story to keep you invested, and it's relaxed enough that you can have a show going in the background while you grind through leveling up your Pokémon. I've been really happy with it overall!

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!

...you’re going to love Let’s Go. When they first announced Pokemon: Let’s Go, I was initially turned off as it was presented with the idea that leveling up would be fashioned after Pokémon GO; you capture Pokémon without actually fighting them. That said, I gave it a chance, and I’m very VERY glad I did. First, yes, capturing Pokémon a la Pokémon GO is a pretty good way to level your Pokémon as your team levels up together with every one that you catch. However, you find yourself battling other trainers in the in-game world more often than catching Pokémon; there’s just so many of them to fight. The feel of the game’s story seems a reboot of an earlier game, taking advantage of the modern gaming technology; a good move. I’m a little disappointed with the Team Rocket story arc, though. I felt like it could have been more involved. Overall, what sold this game to me was its personality, i.e. Eevee. your starter Pokémon who travels with you is a blessing and a curse as it is a perfect Pokémon; its stats are best in everything. This is great for helping you through the occasional tough battle, but I learned that Eevee is pretty much stronger than anything in the game as I was able to more or less solo every Gym leader, the Elite Four, and most of the legendary Pokémon with just Eevee herself. She also got access to moves that seemed far overpowered and felt as if they made Eevee just shy of invincible. That said, the game is not without its challenges. I suspect my experience was an exception and very much not the rule. My wife is playing and she tends to use a variety of Pokémon in her fights. Overall, Pokémon: Let’s GO is arguably one of the better, if not best, iterations of the franchise and definitely a solid RPG. I’d argue the game’s difficulty could be upped a notch or two and still be equally as fun and challenging.

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

I love pokemon, and this is very similar to Pokemon Yellow I think, so one of the original ones on the gameboy. The adventure is great, I enjoy the characters, I love capturing pokemon, and my little eevee companion is absolutely adorable. You even get to dress Eevee and pet him/her! The only thing about the game that I would change is you only battle trainers, so when you find other pokemon in the wild, you just capture them using pokeballs for experience, rather than battle them for experience. So I like the idea of not attacking random pokemon to make your's stronger, but it also feels less authentic in a way to just go about capturing 100 pidgeys to level up! Of course, the game isn't too challenging, so I don't have many areas where I really need to level up. So overall, great game, I'm very happy!

Whither you get Eevee or Pikachu from the let's go series, both will take you back to the first generation games of pokemon red and blue. This updated version follows the same story line as the first generation games of pokemon red and blue, but puts you in the shoes of a different trainer. The updated graphics and somewhat different story line makes the game interesting and fun as you travel the Kato region with Eevee, and capturing new pokemon to add to your team. Even if you have played every pokemon series, this is somewhat different and will bring back alot of good memories. If you are new to the series however, this is a pretty good starting point. Either way, it's definitely a fun game that you will enjoy and get your moneys worth out of. I would recommend checking out a review on YouTube to see gameplay and if it's for you or not if you are uncertain. Definitely a good game though and I do recommend it. Happy adventuring!

I grew up playing pokémon on the gameboy back in the day when the graphics were 2D & pikachu was fat. I absolutely fell in love with this game on the switch because it made me feel like a kid again. I love that you’re able to ride on your pokémon around the city. This game brings the nostalgic feel of pokémon red, blue & yellow but it’s updates make it even more epic. I struggled to choose between let’s go pikachu & let’s go eevee, but overall i’m happy w my choice! if you’re thinking of getting this game, i highly recommend! it’s everything you would want to feel like a real pokémon trainer traveling around kanto w/ your buddy pokemon!

This game (together with Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu!) is a remake of Pokemon Yellow, a 1998 Game Boy game, but everything has been updated. Graphics are beautiful, story is fun, and gameplay is a little simplified (but still a ton of fun). This is the perfect entry point for young players (my 8 year old LOVES this game) or for players new to Pokemon games), or for older players who played the original Pokemon Game Boy games, since the gyms and maps and story are all the same as they were 21 years ago. This is my favorite game on the Switch so far -- definitely recommended!

Game is a good cross of the og and Pokémon Go. Plenty of nostalgia and an easy game to play when just relaxing on the couch

This is great fun for anyone who knows and loves the series or anyone looking to get into it. It's a great blend between the classic games and Pokemon Go. There are lots of quality of life changes to the classic formula. Original 151 Pokemon only. You can transfer from Pokemon Go (the ability to do this opens up later in the game), Once done, you cannot transfer them bacj. Very charming and easy to play, so it's great for kids as well. Definitely recommend it.
