These changes aren’t drastic enough to make Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! leaps and bounds better than Pokemon Yellow in the story sense, but at least it wasn’t a copy/paste approach either. In terms of expanding on the story, you’ll notice discussions updated to explain motivations a bit more such as why Team Rocket wants the Silph Scope or additional characters who weren’t previously in the game or didn’t appear until later iterations. A small example of the latter would be specific TM machines you receive are different or that key items such as fishing rods and bicycles are nowhere to be acquired (more on that a little later). ![]() This isn’t to say that it’s a beat-by-beat retelling as some has been tweaked due to either fleshing out the paper thin plot or gameplay improvements. Yes, even the terrible trio of Jessie, James, and Meowth of Team Rocket are in this game as well. Throughout the voyage, you are responsible for foiling the plans of Team Rocket and making them blast off again and again. You start in Pallet Town, gain a Pokemon from Professor Oak, and begin your journey across Kanto gaining badges from gym leaders such as Brock and Lieutenant Surge as you progress towards the Elite Four. So for instance, the story itself is more or less unchanged. Taking Pokemon Yellow as the template, Game Freak reimagined that game as a cross between the Pokemon Go mobile game and what the original games would be if factoring in the numerous improvements to the franchise since those titles released. Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! is the closest that dream has ever come. Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! on the other hand has Bellsprout/Weepinbell/Victreebel, Vulpix/Ninetails, Meowth/Persian, Koffing/Weezing, Ekans/Arbok, and Pinsir as catcheable options.įrom here on in, I will only reference Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee!, but please keep in mind that almost everything should be applicable to Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! as well.įor the longest time, it has been one of my top gaming wishes to have the Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue games remade on a newer console. Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! allows for Oddish/Gloom/Vileplume, Sandshrew/Sandslash, Growlithe/Arcanine, Grimer/Muk, Scyther, and Mankey/Primeape to be captured in the wild. ![]() Much like past Pokemon titles though, there are Pokemon only available in one version over the other. The most clear difference being whether you start with Pikachu or Eevee obviously. ![]() My understanding is there are limited differences between this version and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!. What was once fear of a watered down Pokemon spin-off game instead became the definitive gen 1 Pokemon experience in my eyes.īefore I continue, I want to note that I only played Pokemon: Let’s go, Eevee!. Fortunately, my love for the series won out and I bought the game at a whim before reading reviews. ![]() As much as I wanted to revisit the Kanto region, the elements of Pokemon Go influencing the game haunted me. However with the reveal of Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! as the first Pokemon games on the Nintendo Switch, I couldn’t help but be a little disheartened. More specifically, the original gen 1 era of Pokemon. Ever since Toys “R” Us sent a VHS tape informing kids (and to an extent – warning parents) of the Pocket Monster craze in Japan back in the mid 90’s, I have been a sucker for most things Pokemon.
