  • "Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!" is a delightful blend of nostalgia and modern gaming
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Let's Go, Pikachu!
"Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!" is a role-playing game developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company for the Nintendo Switch. Released in 2018, it is a remake of the 1998 game "Pokémon Yellow," integrating gameplay elements from the mobile game "Pokémon GO." Gameplay Mechanics: The game combines traditional Pokémon RPG mechanics with simplified controls and the capturing system from "Pokémon GO." Players explore the Kanto region, battle trainers, and catch Pokémon. Catching Pokémon: Instead of battling wild Pokémon, players catch them using a throwing mechanic similar to "Pokémon GO," which can be done using motion controls or handheld mode. Battles: Trainer battles retain the turn-based system from classic Pokémon games, allowing players to use strategy to defeat opponents. Pikachu Partner: Pikachu is the player’s constant companion, riding on their shoulder and participating in battles. Pikachu can learn exclusive moves and interact with the player. Graphics and Design Visuals: The game features bright, colorful graphics with a chibi-style design. The Kanto region is beautifully rendered, bringing a nostalgic yet fresh look to familiar locations. Animation: Pokémon animations are smooth and expressive, adding personality to each creature. Pikachu’s interactions with the player are particularly charming. Story and Setting Plot: The storyline closely follows "Pokémon Yellow," with the player starting their journey in Pallet Town, aiming to become the Pokémon Champion by defeating the Elite Four and Team Rocket. Region: The game is set in the Kanto region, with all original 151 Pokémon available, plus their Alolan forms. Features Co-op Play: A second player can join the game at any time, allowing for cooperative gameplay. This feature is great for playing with friends or family. Poké Ball Plus: An optional accessory that can be used as a controller. It enhances the catching experience and can store a Pokémon to take on walks in the real world. Integration with Pokémon GO: Players can transfer Pokémon caught in "Pokémon GO" to "Let's Go, Pikachu!" via Bluetooth, adding an extra layer of connectivity between the games. Pros and Cons Pros: Nostalgic appeal with modern updates Simplified gameplay suitable for new players High-quality graphics and animations Integration with "Pokémon GO" Co-op mode for shared play experiences Cons: Simplified mechanics may not appeal to veteran players Motion controls can be imprecise at times Limited to the original 151 Pokémon, which might feel restrictive to some players Reception "Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!" received generally positive reviews from both critics and players. It was praised for its nostalgic value, charming graphics, and accessibility for newcomers. However, some longtime fans felt the simplified mechanics were a step back from the more complex systems of recent mainline Pokémon games. Conclusion "Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!" is a delightful blend of nostalgia and modern gaming, making it an excellent entry point for new players and a charming revisit for longtime fans. Its simplified mechanics and integration with "Pokémon GO" offer a fresh take on a classic adventure, even if it might not fully satisfy those seeking a more traditional Pokémon experience. ... show more

  • Great game for my 8 year old.
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Let's Go, Pikachu!
This game was priced the same as Target had it on sale. I did check around for pricing and I was pleased to be able to order without traveling 30 miles to a Target for the same price.

  • Okay, so it's a little unbalanced, but undeniably fun
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Let's Go, Pikachu!
I love this game so much y'all srsly. This is a remake of the original Pokemon Yellow, with the pokemon mechanics reconfigured to support the game's more recent developments, especially focused on the Pokemon Go throwing mechanics. This also incorporates the bonding features from the most recent couple of pokemon games (although you can only interact with your starter in this way) and adds some new elements I love - you can actually see the pokemon available to catch animated and wandering the wild. The items features are super simplified - you have berries for catching pokemon and bonding with your starter, health and other effect potions, candy that each raise a specific pokemon stat, and then a whole lot of items made just to sell. While the catching mechanic means you'll be spending a lot more on pokeballs in-game to account for your missed shots, it's really super easy to get cash. And level up your pokemon. And also to get the starters - there are characters in-game that will just hand you a charmander, squirtle, and bulbasaur. So like, it's a little unbalanced, but this also makes for super fun gameplay - I think this a great game for people who haven't been introduced to the main pokemon games very thoroughly, especially those who are more familiar with pokemon go than anything else. It beautifully incorporates the motion mechanics of the switch - but it uses surprisingly few buttons; you can play the game with just a joycon, which almost feels like a waste, but it makes it a lot easier for a second player to join in without having to purchase extra controllers. (The second player makes battles and catching like EVEN easier btw.) So it's a really fun game to introduce you to Pokemon, to play with a companion, or just to mess around in - and it also makes it waaay more feasible to get Melmetal in Pokemon Go btw. ... show more
