    My son turned 8 years old and he wanted Let's Go Pikachu for his birthday. The mechanics are easy to catch pokemon, the battle system doesn't feel as complex as other games, and its easy enough that I don't have to help him constantly get through the story. Highly recommended to any younger gamers.

    Fun game, especially for people who grew up with Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow. Seeing the Pokémon on the field is a game changer, as you can pick and choose your encounters now. The catching instead of battling mechanic is where you will either love or hate this game.

    My wife and I played it together. Had a blast. 30-40 hours of fun if you enjoy Pokemon games; it's a must buy. Don't try to catch them all though unless you have a copy of Eevee as well. Or if a friend has it. And the pokeball plus... You'll never do it, Ash. Just stay in Pallet Town until you go buy that stuff.

    Charming graphics and music, packed with nostalgia. However, the battle system has been oversimplified with the removal of mechanics like Abilities. The inability to use a Pro Controller is also a major hassle.

    This is a remake of the original Pokémon for the game boy. It’s a whole new experience and it’s a nice one. No longer will you walk around aimlessly hoping for a battle. The Pokémon are out in the open and you can see them fly around or run around you. The battle reminds me Pokémon stadium.

    This game surprised me at how good it is. The new features they added really make things a lot of fun. It doesn't matter if you're coming in from Pokemon Go, a lapsed fan, or a long time fan this game is just a ton of fun. The only way I'd say to pass on it is if you just want to do competitive battles.

    This game brings back all the memories. If you played the original pokemon's back in the day this is it. Enchanced 3D graphics and some new elements. I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy this as the more recent Pokeman haven't been that enjoyable to me but I was surprised. Worth it if you have a Switch!

    I grew up playing Pokemon Red. So going back in to that world, with everything completely redone, with obviously far superior graphics to the original was a great experience. There is even additional content for longevity and playability, as well as unique twists to keep it even more fresh.

    Super impressed with this game. Its definitely a remake, but very well done. The only difference is you don't get to fight wild Pokemon but you still get experience for catching them and I like that you can see the Pokemon in the grass (which means you can go to them or try to avoid them if you'd like).

    This game is a lot of fun. It really took me back to the good ol days from the original Pokémon. I wish they would come out with more original Pokémon games. Original Pokémon games are so much fun. The game was exactly as advertised. And I have so much fun playing it.

    It's pretty good, but man, the catching mechanic is awful. If you've ever played Pokemon Go! then you know exactly what it feels like. That said, the world is completely true to the original Kanto games, trainer and gym leader battles do exist, and thus far I've yet to have any sort of random encounters. Pokemon are visible on the map before you engage. Definitely a great game for beginners, kids, or 20-somethings like myself desperately clinging to the nostalgia of the 90s.

    I played the older game boy versions of pokemon games. This is a juiced up spin off of the older games. Super familiar to me. I originally bought this as a birthday gift for my son. Now i also enjoy playing, great for bonding time, we also sometimes bicker over who gets to play first lol.

    This game harnesses the nostalgia of Pokemon Yellow and introduces Pokemon to the new generation with great detail. As a gamer who played the older games, this game is still very fun. It is heavily influenced by Pokemon Go, but the random encounters have been changed (for the better in my opinion).

    The Pokemon lets go Pikachu is a great game to play even though it is a remake. The graphics are amazing and gameplay is still the same if you remember when it first came out! If you are on the fence about should I buy this game or not I would definitely tell you to buy it you will not regret it!

    Was looking for a Pokemon game and was excited to find this! It's so nostalgic and brought me back to the days of Pokemon Red/Blue. This game is a good intro to the series, especially if you have never played a Pokemon game before.

    This is for a birthday gift. The game is a very nice remake of the original Pokemon games. It's just a shame they only allow generation 1 Pokemon, the next generation Pokemon would be awesome to use. Besides that, wonderful game!

    The Let’s Go games were a refreshing take on an led franchise. People will disagree that these games were made for a casual player base. And that’s fair...but these games were originally intended for children, so I see nothing wrong with a more laidback and casual approach to these games.
