Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu / Eevee Review Thread
- Thread starter Galava
- Start date
I mean I'm basing that on the actual content of the reviews, not the scores
Better than expected, nice.
I'm still not gonna get it, especially with Smash & DMC5 on the horizon. But it's good to see that the game turned out alright.

The sense I'm getting is that if you're a longtime Pokemon fan who has played many of the games and is looking for new experiences this game is not for you.
If you are just a fan of GO or the original GB games and haven't really kept up with the series then you'll probably love this game.

I mean I think it'll sell gangbusters and review fine, but personally I feel i'll really dislike it compared to what it could've been. I think that's where a lot of people were down on it.
The reviewers are saying the games are fun in addition to the nostalgia though and it's not like the games are getting scores on par with games like SM.
I might pick one of these games up. Have never played a Pokemon game before... what's the deal with the two games? I'm assuming each is identical except in order to collect all of the Pokemon you need both copies?
im expecting this to be a fun thread to read after i get out of work.
Gonna give this a try. Last Pokemon game I played was Pokemon Y but I lost interest about halfway through. Now to decide if I want the PokeBall bundle or not.
I shouldn't be surprised people are trying to spin all the good reviews into being purely over nostalgia.
"If you're looking for a Pokémon game designed for the seasoned player, this ain't it, chief. This is a game designed specifically for the kids I'm losing my edge to. This is a game for Pokémon Go players, for people who care more about catching Pokémon than battling them, and the mechanics have changed to suit them."
bah. Think I'll wait for it to go on sale.

I know, right? Unbelievable.
Same. I played Red on an emulator in middle school, and years later picked up X with my 3DS - ended up dropping it halfway through because it felt like such an unwieldy amalgamation of systems. Hoping this more streamlined game eases me into things.
If I feel nostalgic for a game, my intention to purchase and enjoyment during gameplay are substantially higher.
As a hardcore Pokemon fan, I know this won't be my favorite Pokemon game ever made, but I'm planning on playing it in coop with my girlfriend the same way I did with Kirby Star Allies, so difficulty won't really matter to me if we're both having fun playing together.
I'm totally fine with how this game turned out. Only thing I'm still sour on is not being able to play with my pro controller. Otherwise it looks like fun filler until the next Pokemon title.
Yep pretty much. Some new things it tries it does well, others not so well. Gives room for improvement when they do Gen 2 Let's Go.
Yeah, pretty much. There are pokemon exclusives to each version(as aways) and the starter itself.
I do take issue with some of them saying the battles haven't been simplified.
As much as I enjoyed Let's Go from what I played, there's no denying it's been simplified. Most moves aren't in the game, many battle mechanics removed and the Candy system is disgustingly broken, removing all elements of balance.

Yep. I feel like very few reviewers are more than casual fans when it comes to Pokemon tbh.
b-b-but muh wild batles! muh content!
Game looks good and plays good, it was always going to get reviews in line with the expectations of the other titles in the series, as always the pokémon fanbase simply overreacting at everything and instantly shutting down all notion of change.
Lmao the salt, maybe the game is good after all?

Scores aren't going to convince anyone that was negative about it to buy it. The text confirms everyone's fears and thensome.
Let's Go has a way more sanitized style than preceding Pokémon games
It's because none of those people have ever engaged in the actual depth of the combat systems so they don't notice that it's gone
Oh my god, these are going to get a higher Metacritic than Fire Red and Leaf Green aren't they lol
