Nintendo Announces Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu! and Let’s Go Eevee! For Nintendo Switch
Launching worldwide on 16th November
www.nintendolife.comHere’s the latest I can confirm about Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! on Nintendo Switch:
- The original Let’s Go, Pikachu! released in November 2018, returning players to the Kanto region with a fresh take on Pokémon Yellow’s formula and integrating Go-inspired mechanics (like catching via motion controls).[5][6][7]
- A companion pair title, Let’s Go, Eevee!, released simultaneously, offering the same core experience with Eevee as the partner Pokémon.[6][7]
- The games were marketed as “Let’s Go” remakes of the classic Yellow version, featuring only the original 151 Pokémon and optional cross-compatibility with Pokémon GO for transferring creatures.[1][6]
- At launch, players could catch Pokémon in the wild with motion-based throwing via Joy-Con or Poké Ball Plus, and could connect to Pokémon GO for additional integration and rewards.[7][5]
- The official Pokémon site and Nintendo store pages describe the games as returning to Kanto with a modern twist and accessible catching mechanics.[6][7]
