Partner in tow, and with a new, friendlier rival to compete with, the player begins his journey throughout Kanto to collect eight gym badges and challenge the Pokémon League. As a remake of Pokémon Yellow, instead of being given the choice between choosing to start with Squirtle, Charmander, or Bulbasaur, the young player protagonist is partnered with a Pikachu that prefers to spend its time outside of its Poké Ball. Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! takes things back to the region of Kanto, where it all started.
However, as the months went on after its initial reveal, I decided to give the game a shot and pre-loaded it onto my Nintendo Switch.
It also did not help that the game tied itself to the mobile phone game Pokémon GO, which at the time I had no interest in. One factor that aided in my skepticism was the exclusion of gameplay aspects like wild battles, abilities, and held items. The new Pokémon games are a fun romp through Kanto and a happy sign that the series will continue to exhilarate fans and evolve.At first, I was skeptical of Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and its seemingly drastic shift from the established Pokémon formula. With so much Poké-lore available, Game Freak couldn't resist nestling some Easter eggs into the new games, as well as references to wider pop and internet culture that fans have come to expect from each release. While not a straight remake of the original Pokémon: Yellow game like 2004's FireRed and LeafGreen were for the GameBoy Advance, the reboot gives new fans a good introductory point and older ones a nostalgic trip back to where their love of catching 'em all first began. Let's Go is set in the Kanto region and populated by the first generation of Pokémon, although integration with the mobile tie-in Pokémon Go and in-game trading opportunities provide the player with the opportunity to expand their Pokédex beyond the original 150. Praise be to Arceus: two new Pokémon games have been released! Pokémon : Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are the first in the main series to come out on the Nintendo Switch, offering major changes to the mechanics of a gaming institution now over two decades old.
