Pokémon's Switch debut deftly toes the line between returning fans and all-new ones, with a few small wobbles along the way.
Kotaku
There is very little new or novel about Pokémon Let's Go! Eevee and Pikachu. Even the divisive new mechanics are cribbed from Pokémon Go. In the end, I don't feel like that matters. It's still Pokémon. It's still a story about learning who you are and what you're capable of, still a chance to become emotionally connected to the creatures who help you on that journey.
NintendoLife 8/10
Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are beautiful reimaginings of a video game classic, updating a 20-year-old game in ways which make it infinitely more accessible and user-friendly for a modern audience, while keeping the magic first discovered all those years ago.

[...]Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee are delightful reimaginings of the series' origins and a deep RPG in their own right. It makes a lot of smart improvements on the original Red, Blue and Yellow while holding on to what made them so special in the first place. Fans of the series might be let down by the lack of features they've come to expect, but Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee take the Pokemon formula in some exciting new directions.
Nintendo Insider - 8
[...]Game Freak's understandable pursuit of accessibility means that this journey doesn't have everything that veteran fans have come to expect, with that lack of longevity and depth to become a sticking point. But, what counts above all else is that it is a fun and memorable experience for all.

In Short: The perfect introduction to 'proper' Pokémon games for GO players but also an enjoyably nostalgic remake for existing pokéfans.
Pros: A carefully balanced mix of old and new features, in terms of both gameplay and accessibility. As addictive as ever and the depth of combat and customisation remains impressive.
Cons: Very low-tech graphics and generally cheap-looking presentation. Limited online options. The series' traditional lack of any artificial intelligence is still a problem.
