    My 7 year old loves this game. It’s perfect for this age and, when paired with the pokeball controller make for a really fun experience. It’s just the right amount of difficulty to keep his interest. I also enjoy playing with him a little bit too!

    This game stays true to the original 151 and kanto region. Mechanics have changed with no battling of Wild pokemon and no random encounters. The game feels very familiar, but is extremely easy due to new mechanisms. Worth the buy if you are craving pokemon.

    I fell in love with this game because it makes your Pokémon Experience Seem so real! Graphics are really good. Pickachu is the best, cutest side kick you could ever have! I Highly recommend this Game. Great for single player only, not for multiple players.

    This game is almost exactly like the old gameboy games except obviously better graphics and you can see the wild Pokémon on screen as they roam the tall grass, etc. Also, catching Pokémon is almost exactly like Pokémon Go. Still a fun and addictive game!

    The big complaint with this game is that it isn't a traditional pokemon game although it's based on pokemon yellow. Its basically a full pokemon game but with pokemon go mechanics to cash in on the craze. The game is still fun but if you're looking for a traditional pokemon game then this isn't for you. If you're wanting to revisit Kanto and find this for a good deal then pick it up.

    I have only played Pokemon Ultra Moon and Pokemon GO before this game. Let's Go had a great combo of game play from the main series and GO from what I could see. A lot of good content in this game that kept me playing even after I technically finished the game.

    A great reimagining of a Gameboy classic! Graphics and sound have been updated but they still have that classic Nintendo and Pokemon charm. I haven't beaten it yet but so far it's been worth every penny.

    My daughter is a huge Pokemon fan and absolutely loves this game! I even found myself playing the game for a couple hours and enjoying myself -- and that's coming from someone who has never gotten into the Pokeverse :)

    A different (nice) take on the game we used 2 love

    First, this isn't the same as the one you played around '98. It is a revamped version wich does not have HM (instead they have techniques), does not have the safari zone, does not have the PC (now you have everything on the bag) and most important the wild pokemon are not battled, they need to be calmed and then you throw a pokeball (very similar to pokemon go), gym battles and battles with the NPCs are still there, a really good addition is that someone can join you as a support trainer and they can walk with you (but no interactions with anything) and battle with you (assist you) which is pretty awesome since I am introducing my 4yo daugther to pokemon and I can show her where to go or help her with the battles.

    If you play Pokémon Go (phone app game), and have access to a NintendoSwitch (console or lite), use this Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu to act as a companion game to the app. This game will help you obtain extra/additional candies for MelMetal (Pokémon monster) that is an advantage exclusive to players who have synchronized their Pokémon Go app to this NintendoSwitch game.

    It’s nostalgic to return to Kanto with a refreshed storyline that builds on Pokémon Yellow and adds the fun nature of Pokémon Go and the updated graphics of Sword and Shield. It’s been a great addition to my Switch lineup.

    Fun but wished you battle Pokémon to catch them

    Fun game. Nostalgia. Personally I believe it’s a small downfall that you don’t battle the Pokémon to catch them like in the original game, you just catch them like in Pokémon GO. I play Pokémon GO pretty much everyday on my phone so I don’t really feel like having to catch them the same way in the game. Otherwise the game is fun.

    This game was different than I thought it be. I heard it was going to be similar to Pokemon Go which was true however after playing it. It's a nice refreshing change compared to the classic pokemon gameplay. It feels nice to have a pokemon follow you around.

    This is a really fun game. You can explore different areas & find way to unlock places. It brings back alot of childhood memories. I bought it for my girls to play (4 & 8) & they both love playing it. Especially catching new pokemons.

    Me and my niece can play this for hours it is a very fun game kids but also for teens and adults. I really like how you can take the pokémons out their ball and have them walk beside you. Highly recommend this game.

    As someone who played the original Red, Blue, and Yellow as a kid, it was great to revisit a remake of the first games. Story is pretty much the exact same with a few changes. Battling is the same. The biggest change, however, is the wild pokemon and catch system which is an improvement of the old system. The game is pretty easy and can be pretty hand-holding at times. It would have been nice to have some challenge.

    This is a good pick up if you are looking for the nostalgia of the old Pokemon games. I love the new features added too like dressing up your Pikachu/Eevee. Good for beginners and long time fans. Makes a great gift as well.

    This game is by the best Pokémon game that I’ve ever played. The entire game is constructed based from the original Pokémon yellow, blue, red, and green. If you’re contemplating on whether to purchase, trust me, you won’t regret. Gotta catch em all!!!!!!!
