Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are set in the Kanto region and will include the original 151 Pokémon creatures in addition to their respective Alolan forms from Pokémon Sun and Moon. Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! will feature common elements of the series, such as battling non-player character Pokémon Trainers and Gym Leaders with caught Pokémon creatures. However, instead of battling them like the traditional battle system of other major Pokémon role-playing games, the catching of Pokémon creatures uses a different mechanic that is based on the mobile spin-off game Pokémon Go where players throw Poké Balls at a wild Pokémon by using the motion controls of the Joy-Con controller.The action can also be performed with a button press when the Joy-Con controllers are docked to the console in hand-held mode, but this still requires using the motion controls to aim.If a player uses the motion controls, the catching of Pokémon is based on the player's timing rather than accuracy. Although it is possible to miss a throw, the ball is almost guaranteed to hit the Pokémon.
The player character will start with either a Pikachu or an Eevee—depending on the version—which will sit on the player character's shoulder in the overworld. This mechanic is similar to the "walking Pokémon" mechanic first introduced in Pokémon Yellow, in which Pikachu followed the player character throughout the entire game.The player character's partner Pokémon will wiggle its tail when the player is near a hidden item, and it can be dressed up for further customization. Similarly to Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the player may also choose a secondary Pokémon to follow them,and some larger Pokémon can also be ridden, a mechanic first seen in Pokémon X and Y and later refined in Sun and Moon.
A notable feature in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! is that wild Pokémon show up in the overworld, rather than as random encounters in grass or caves like in previous main-series Pokémon RPGs. To start a battle, the player has to simply interact with a Pokémon in the environment. The battle screen is reminiscent of Pokémon Go, with the use of berries to pacify a Pokémon and the toss of a Poké Ball to capture it.
The evolution mechanic from previous games returns in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!; however, the player's starting Pikachu or Eevee cannot evolve, alike Pokémon Yellow. Only other Pokémon that the player has caught can evolve, including the ones of the same species of the partner Pokémon. Some features, like Pokémon breeding and HMs, will be absent from the games.
The games are scheduled to be released worldwide on November 16, 2018. -

Pretty smart on them capitalizing on the Pokemon Go craze. This should bring a few people to Switch who probably never have had anything but mobile. Gets people into dedicated gaming systems.
Also good job on the topic! ^_^ -

Honestly at first I really didn't want to get this game, solely because I didn't want another Gen 1 remake. However after watching game play footage, I went ahead and pre ordered Let's Go Eevee! (Because let's face it, Pikachu is overrated and who doesn't like Eevee?
) I also play a lot of Pokemon Go, so knowing that I'll be able to transfer Pokemon from Go to Let's Go makes me happy. Most of my Kanto dex is completed, aside from a few that are only available in other countries. I'll admit, I'm mainly looking forward to seeing the brand new game that's set to be announced sometime next year. Regardless, I see Let's Go being a big hit to not just fans of Go, but fans of the original Gen 1 games as well.

Well that's pretty cool! I didn't think Mega Evolutions would make a return honestly. Calling it now Mewtwo X will appear in Let's Go Pikachu, and Mewtwo Y will appear in Let's Go Eevee. However for Charizard, can anyone translate the image? I'm assuming it'll be based around which version you get, like Mewtwo but I'm curious...

It shown on the Japanese trailer that you can now freely choose which Mega Charizard turns into, So it looks like they done away with multiple Mega Stones, At least for this game. -
