Description

Partner up with Pikachu to catch and collect Pokemon on a rich and vibrant adventure in the Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! game – available now on the Nintendo Switch system! Become the best Pokemon Trainer you can be as you battle other Trainers, Gym Leaders, and the sinister Team Rocket. Catch Pokemon in the wild using a gentle throwing motion with either a Joy-Con controller or a Poke Ball Plus accessory (sold separately), which will light up, vibrate, and make sounds to bring your adventure to life. You can also use button controls in Handheld Mode. Share your adventure with family or friends using a second Joy-Con or Poke Ball Plus. You can even connect to the Pokémon GO app using a compatible smartphone to bring over Pokemon originally discovered in the Kanto region!

Explore the vibrant region of Kanto—home to beloved characters like Brock, Misty, and the nefarious trio Jessie, James, and Meowth! Throughout the story, your bond with your partner Pokemon grows stronger as you care for it and travel together. See the world in style by customizing Pikachu and your Trainer with a selection of outfits. True-to-size wild Pokemon roam around in the game—catch them like a real Pokemon Trainer by using timing and a well-placed Poke Ball. Battle and trade with other players who own the game via local wireless or online. Go on a stroll with your favorite Pokemon in your Poke Ball Plus to level them up, and to receive in-game rewards after returning them to the game. Connect to Pokemon GO to transfer caught Kanto-region Pokemon, including Alolan and Shiny forms, as well as the newly discovered Pokemon, Meltan, from that game to this one

Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu Review
7 /10

Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee streamline some of the franchise's more annoying elements, but the games are too easy and the co-op implementation is weak.
