About an hour ago, Pokemon Sword and Shield were revealed for Nintendo Switch by The Pokemon Company, Nintendo, and Game Freak. They take place in the brand new Galar region and feature three brand new cute starter Pokemon: the Grass type Grooky, the Water type Sobble, and the Fire type Scorbunny.

Generation 8 of Pokemon is here! After first being teased over a year and a half ago, Game Freak, Nintendo, and The Pokemon Company decided to unveil Pokemon Sword and Shield during a Pokemon-focused Direct.

Players of Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! have been enjoying the original 151 Pokemon, though one such pocket monster is a particular outlier.

If you’re a Pikachu fan, then she’s just not that “Into You”. In 2018, Pokémon Let’s GO Eevee, and Pokémon Let’s GO Pikachu launched.
Whether you consider Pokémon: Let’s Go Pikachu! and Eevee! to be a core Pokémon title or not (Nintendo certainly does), it certainly added many quality-of-life improvements to streamline the usual experience. This may have led to a shorter game for many players, and director Junichi Masuda acknowledged this in the game’s strategy guide. Essentially, Masuda wanted
I’ll be the first to admit I was somewhat tepid and hesitant going into Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!. I was disappointed by last year’s Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon as they made some parts of their predecessors worse. Coming into this entry, I saw the stripping away of traditional battles for something more akin to the
With Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! being a remake of 1998’s Pokemon Yellow, the pair of titles include some of the series’ most recognizable tunes modernized for the current era.

Both Pokémon: Let’s Go Pikachu! and Let’s Go Eevee! have changed the series’ formula quite a bit.

We knew before the release of both Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee that the newest pair of titles in the Pokemon series were likely destined to do well at market. Now that the initial sales for the games have been revealed though, their success is perhaps even greater than what was anticipated beforehand. In a new tweet from the
It’s difficult to think of the first generation of Pokémon without also recollecting the theme tune from the animated series. The song sported a catchy chorus and inspirational lyrics that almost felt like they would fit in with a sports movie’s training montage.

One of the latest trailers for the upcoming twin-releases Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! struck something of a chord with me.

We are less than a month out from the release of Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! for Nintendo Switch, and there’s still quite a bit we don’t know about.
