Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!

A remake of Red and Blue with the Pokemon Go feature replacing wild Pokemon battles
For parents/family buying it for kids: A very cute little game with a lot of features for kids. Pokemon games have always been a long-standing family-friendly choice and this installment is no different.Your character moves through the world with a little story (same as all the others really) about starting your own adventure as a Pokemon trainer, and you find wild Pokemon in the environment and use the Switch’s motion-sensing aiming functionality to throw Pokeballs to catch them to add to your team. This is also how your team gets stronger. Other trainers in the game can and will challenge you to fight with your team of Pokemon, and when you win you get money and more Pokeballs.The Pokeball Plus is a great addon item for this game, as it will simulate the throwing motion (HOWEVER a word of warning to parents; be sure your kid knows to use the wriststraps securely and only make the throwing motion with it, don’t actually throw the Pokeball Plus as it could break! I don’t recommend it for smaller children who don’t know any better).You can also use the Pokeball Plus to level up Pokemon when you aren’t playing the game. If you use the Save menu, you can put a Pokemon of your choice into the ball, then as you carry the ball around with you and take steps it will level up.For more hardcore Pokemon fans: The first thing you have to keep in mind is that this really is a remake of Red and Blue. I kept thinking that a lot of their newer features from the latest games would be here but they were not. It’s not a bad thing, because they definitely added a lot of other features that weren’t even present in other games, but it’s definitely something to keep in mind.As a result, you don’t have breeding. If you want a pokemon with good IVs you’ll have to keep catching them over and over until you get one. The nicest new feature so far is the portable Judge system to allow you to immediately check IVs on new ‘mons you capture (however, you don’t unlock it until a little after Cerulean/Vermilion City). Pokemon given to you through the game itself from NPCs will generally always have amazing IVs, which is nice.They also made the Pokemon Box usable on the go, so you can switch out your team wherever you are.EV training is handled by catching certain types of Pokemon over and over again in “combos”. You get candies reflecting a stat that Pokemon represents which you can then feed to your ‘mon of choice. If your ‘mon is one easily caught in the wild, catch a lot of that same one and send them to Professor Oak to get a candy for that Pokemon that ups all its stats.A neat way they handled HMs in this game was to have your partner Pokemon learn the majority of them without them taking up move slots. So Cut, Flash, etc get learned by your partner. Surf is handled by a few water-types like Gyarados and Lapras (who you get for free when you unlock the ability) as, again, additional features instead of actual moves. I haven’t gotten this far yet but I believe Fly isn’t gotten until after the Elite Four, and again will only be handled by specific Pokemon, Charizard being one.All in all, some fancy new stuff to check out, the Switch controls are fun imo, I love the Pokeball Plus for catching and powerleveling ‘mons.

Llegó antes de lo esperado, ya había jugado la versión de prueba y me encantó. Ahora que ya lo tengo, es otra experiencia muuuy distinta en comparación con el Pokémon Yellow de Game Boy y te trae muy buenos recuerdos. El producto en buenas condiciones, es original y el descuento me pareció bueno

Good game but only gen 1 pokemon. 151 pokemon in total, great pokemon game for starters, arrived early than I thought it would, great packaging.
