Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! will be the first Pokémon RPG game on the Switch. There are so many differences between the previous games and Pokémon: Let’s Go! I have made a FAQ to fill you in with the details. (See below)
What is this game all about?
Everyone wanted a remake of the older Pokémon games, and now it's finally here. Pokémon: Let’s Go! is a remake of Pokémon Yellow, but this time everything will be in 3D!
When will it be released?
The official release date is November 16, 2018. Preorders are also available at $59.99 per game (not both).
What's the difference between the 2 versions?
Like the other games, there is not much difference. The story will be the same, there are just slightly different encounter rates for specific Pokémon. On top of that, either Pikachu of Eevee will join you in your adventure. It'll be with you wherever you go.

Is it possible to trade and battle with other trainers?
Of course we can! How else do we determine who's the best Pokémon trainer out there? This is available via local wireless or Wi-Fi. Keep in mind, this requires two Nintendo Switch systems and two copies of the game.

Good old gen1 Pokemon. Back when they were actually cute. I would definitely go for the Eevee. I remember hating not able to evolve pikachu when I was playing Pokemon yellow
Yep, Eevee is definitely an amazing Pokemon. Now it can evolve into Umbreon, Sylveon, Espeon, Flareon, Vaporeon, Leafeon, Jolteon, and Glaceon. So many options to choose from!
Thanks for sharing your opinion. :)
Many of these are not Gen1. Will they be obtainable in the game?
Unfortunately, only Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon are Gen 1. The other ones are not available in Pokémon: Let's Go! Of course there will be future games where the other evolutions will be included.
I am really disappointed to see that its just a game boy version with a bit nicer graphics. I hoped for a real 3D Pokemon adventure. The way they have made it, it is just the same as every pokemon title for the ds.
Pokémon: Let's Go! actually has a lot more new features, I will be writing about them in Part 2. I think they're really cool. :)
I really hope so, the things i heard so far are disappointing.....it will make fun for sure, but i just hoped for more innovation for a title which doesnt run on a handheld.
It's sad that's not really NEW Pokemon game like we want, just a small game similar to gameboy games to math up with Pokemon Go.
But real next Pokemon Game will be in 2019 :D
Yeah, that is true. On top of that, some of my favorite Pokemon are not from gen 1. I'll most likely play the next "new game" instead. We'll have to wait a long time though, haha.
