Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! (Japanese: ポケットモンスター Let's Go! ピカチュウ Pocket Monsters: Let's Go! Pikachu) and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! (Japanese: ポケットモンスター Let's Go! イーブイ Pocket Monsters: Let's Go! Eievui) are the third and final paired versions of Generation VII. The games will be released on the Nintendo Switch.
The games were announced worldwide on May 30, 2018, at a Pokémon press conference in Tokyo, Japan.[1][2] The paired versions will be released worldwide on November 16, 2018. All copies of the game are playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
The games are inspired by Pokémon Yellow.
Plot
The games are set in the region of Kanto, with Pikachu available in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Eevee available in Let's Go, Eevee! as a starter Pokémon. The player will encounter Team Rocket, as well an all-new Pokémon.
Features
- Pikachu, like in all core series games since Pokémon X and Y, is voiced by Ikue Ohtani, while Eevee is voiced by Aoi Yūki for the first time.[3] In this game, the female starter Eevee will have a unique heart-shaped pattern around the tip of their tail.
- In addition to customizing the player's clothing, the starter Pokémon can also be dressed in different outfits and be given different hair styles.
- An accessory called the Poké Ball Plus can be used to catch Pokémon in place of a Joy-Con. Like the Pokéwalker, a Pokémon can be taken on the go and be interacted with.
- If the player has gathered 25 of the same species of Pokémon in the GO Park, they can play a minigame in the Park's Play Yard for Candy.
- The introduction of a new Mythical Pokémon, Meltan.
Alterations from other core series games
- The game focuses on the 151 Pokémon of Generation I. Players can also import the Alolan forms of these Pokémon from Pokémon GO, or receive them from in-game trades.
- Wild Pokémon appear on the overworld. Coming into contact with one will engage them.
- The Nintendo Switch Joy-Con is used to catch Pokémon by flicking one's wrist in a throwing motion, similar to the method in Pokémon GO. While in handheld mode, wild Pokémon are caught by moving a reticle with motion controls. Wild Pokémon, except for Legendary Pokémon, can no longer be battled in a traditional sense, but NPC Trainers can be battled as normal. They may appear with either red or blue aura, which indicates their size, either being larger or smaller than their own standard size.
- Legendary Pokémon can only be caught after defeating them in a battle.
- A unique training system called the Candy Jar will be used for training and increasing the stats of Pokémon by giving them various types of candy, similar to the candy from Pokémon GO.
- Exclusive new moves will be available for the starter Pikachu and Eevee. Pikachu will be able to learn Splishy Splash and Floaty Fall, while Eevee can learn Bouncy Bubble, Buzzy Buzz, and Sizzly Slide.
- The starter Pikachu and Eevee can activate partner powers in battle once they have high enough friendship. If activated while they are in battle, they use an exclusive move—Pika Papow or Veevee Volley—which increases in damage based on friendship. If activated while they are not in battle, they boost the stats of the current Pokémon.
- HM moves have been replaced by Secret Techniques that the starter Pikachu and Eevee can use in the overworld, but do not take up move slots. These include Chop Down for Cut, Sea Skim for Surf, and Sky Dash for Fly.
Returning features
- Gym Leaders, including Brock, Misty, Lt. Surge, and Erika return.
- Team Rocket returns, including the trio from anime series, Jessie, James, and Meowth. Unlike in their game debut Pokémon Yellow, Jessie and James will engage the player in a Double Battle instead and appear early in Viridian City.[4]
- Pokémon that the player has in their party follow them outside their Poké Balls like they did in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
- Mega Evolutions that were introduced in Pokémon X and Y, including Mega Venusaur, Mega Charizard X/Mega Charizard Y, Mega Blastoise, Mega Kangaskhan, and Mega Gyarados as well as their corresponding Mega Stones.
