  • Okay, so it's a little unbalanced, but undeniably fun
Platform For Display: 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

Per title the game was perfectly new in condition, still wrapped and has worked amazing. Will no lt drain the battery on an original switch when docked at 1080p unlike most other games nowadays. Would def recommend but be warned capturing pokemon is similar to pokemon go minus the curve throw and you can use a 2nd joycon to have help in battles or increase catch odds plus XP bonuses ... show more

  • Really fun game with minor flaws. Don't let them deter you.
Platform For Display: Nintendo Switch Edition: Let's Go, Pikachu!
I usually like to base my reviews on some of the most prominent things I've heard about the game and either support those ideas or tear them down. More so than probably any other Pokémon game I've seen, LGPE (Let's Pikachu and Eevee) have really divided fans, so there are an awful lot of negative criticisms I'd like to address. 1.) The game is too easy - So, I would tend to agree that the game is fairly easy in some aspects. Since you can't turn off experience share, you level quickly. However, this mechanic helps you to quickly build up new members of your team. Say you get a level 12 Charmander, and the rest of your team is level 20. Well, you can quickly get that Charmander up to speed instead of it being now completely unviable. Actually catching pokemon is not that easy, but I'll get into that with my next point. I will say that I'm not even through Vermillion City yet, and I'm way over-leveled. It's hard to gauge how bad that is though because I am a completionist. I like to battle every single trainer. I am very often over-leveled in every Pokémon game I play. 2.) No wild battles! This isn't Pokémon without wild battles! - To this I say, nah, bro. I'm completely fine with it. The tedium of running into tons of wild zubats in Mt. Moon still exists because pokemon can appear in the overworld all the time. I was always the type to carry repels and run from every zubat battle. So, I think this mechanic is at least equal to what normal wild battles were. I much prefer seeing pokemon in the overworld as well. It's more fun and realistic. The one concern that I have with playing on the TV and using a joy-con to throw pokeballs is that the mechanic is really inconsistent. Sometimes my pokeballs are flying all over the place. Catching seems to be slightly helped by getting excellent throws and using berries, but the effect is much less consistent than in Pokémon Go, for example. I encountered a rare spawn Chansey in Mt. Moon early on, and I couldn't catch it at all. I will say the throwing mechanic is 1000x easier in handheld mode. Line up a shot with motion controls and launch a ball with "A" easy. 3.) There's no depth to these games, I've already seen Kanto so many times! - Yes, I get that Kanto is a heavily featured generation of Pokémon games, however, like me, many pokemon fans never played Fire Red and Leaf Green or Heart Gold and Soul Silver and have thus not experienced Kanto since the original Gold and Silver versions except in Pokémon Go. Granted, X&Y and Sun and Moon had a TON of Kanto nods, so I get how people can feel oversaturated. For me though, I'm loving the nostalgia. The remastered music, the HD world. It's just beautiful. As for the depth, I really enjoy the opportunity to come up with a cool balanced team in Kanto now as an adult. Those are some of the major complaints. Now I just want to mention some positives and negatives of my own. 1.) I enjoy the 2 player system. Or at least, I enjoy that it's there. I wish the game scaled in difficulty when you have 2 players though. I played 2player through Pewter City with my son, and there is way more opportunity for experience gain in battles and multipliers when you catch pokemon. It may be the reason I'm overleveled. 2.) While I don't think the revamped moveset of Pikachu (adding Double Kick) makes the Brock gym battle too easy, there are some questionable moves available. Pikachu can learn Zippy Zap super early on which is a move that always takes priority and always hits critical and has STAB. That feels way over-powered to me. It is completely optional to learn it though, so I will give the developers that one. 3.) It's not a big thing, but find rare pokemon feels a little cheap now due to Pokémon Go being able to supply them and just the occurrence rate. Like, I was super excited to see a Chansey in Mt. Moon, then I watched some streams of people on cycling road, and those babies were popping out of everywhere. 4.) I love having follower pokemon and being able to ride pokemon. Hands down, that's my favorite thing about the game. If this does not become a staple of every main series game from here on out, I will be very disappointed. Overall, I really enjoy the nostalgia of the game. There's a few things here and there that are annoying, but the good outweighs the bad. ... show more
