I didn't really like this game but Eevee is really cute
i watched my sister play it and sometimes i did the two player thing but that was like even more boring and frustrating than the default gameplay somehow
It's SUCH a good remake of Yellow, and playing it with a friend it's just SO good. You companion is such an ADORABLE thing in that world and the game is so beautifully made that I just don't know how they've made Pkm SW/SH.
Also I really loved how there are only the first 151 pokemon insted of making it a mash-up of generations. I wish they make something like this with Gold/Silver, or even with Sapphire/Ruby.

#PetThatEevee
alright remakes of Kanto but holy fuck i hate catching pokemon in this game so much
It's really cute but like why can't i use the controller i paid $70 for
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
uh huh
I feel this game relies too much on gimmicks. The way you catch Pokémon is weird and the game restricts you to using only a single Joy-Con if you're playing single player, for some reason you can't use both Joy-Cons unless you want to control two trainers and you can't use a Pro Controller at all. I can respect it for pretty much abolishing random encounters (not that those were bad I just find it intriguingly bold), letting you store Pokémon in the PC whenever, and bringing back rideable Pokémon, those were fun quality of life features. I feel we really didn't need another remake of the Kanto games, honestly; FireRed and LeafGreen already did a great job of fixing the problems with those games, and I know those came out several years ago but I feel they should've just got a port or a remaster instead of this game being made. Perhaps my biggest complaint about Pokémon Let's Go Eevee is that it's ridiculously easy. I know I'm saying that about a Pokémon game, but this game was straight up effortless to beat, even easier than any other Pokémon game I've played. All you need is your Eevee, which you can teach moves of several different types, and you can stomp the gyms easy since they still use exclusively one type. You could probably get some challenge if you deliberately refrain from using your Eevee, but if you do use it this game is such a straight road to victory.
Overall, I respect it for trying to mix up the gameplay despite being a remake of the Kanto games, but it leans too hard into gimmicky territory and it just wasn't very fun. It isn't a bad game, but it is bland and much too easy (even for Pokémon standards). I will say that this definitely was not worth $60, I regret having paid full price for such a "meh" experience. Because of everything I've laid out here, I'm giving it two stars, which is looking to be the default score I give Switch games that I find bland but not necessarily bad.

I like being able to see some of the Pokemon wandering around, the visuals were nice, and it was cool to see myself flying on a charizard's back
It was fun to be able to explore Kanto region on the Switch, but the game is just too easy.
Complain all you like, but this is the one that let my niece ride an Arcainine.
it's cute but ultimately forgettable
Pet that Eevee.
Challenge level zero, happiness level high, actually enjoyed hunting for Pokemon. Don't feel the need to REplay but happy I played.

The most nothing entry in the series.
Not what everyone wanted but super chill shiny hunting with my friends and that’s the joy I take away from this game
A los que no les guste es un juego para empezar en la franquicia no seguirla
Honestly I appreciated this fun little experiment. It certainly wasn't a perfect game by any means, but it definitely doesn't deserve the hate a lot of the fandom gives it. The catching minigame definitely got kind of tiresome, especially since it's your primary means of gaining EXP, and I feel like the fact that you get an IV checker so early in the game kind of pushes you to sort through the five billion 'mons you catch and treat them as kind of disposable instead of treating them as your good buddies.
However, it was a blast revisiting Kanto like this, and it was neat to see Pokemon trying something a little different. It was fun to have rideable Pokemon and Pokemon that followed you, and the bond between the player character and Eevee was super cute. I liked how an improved version of the HM mechanic was worked into the game by having your partner Pokemon learn how to do special techniques that don't take up a move slot, and I kind of wish that would be how things would work going forward.
Also, the writing was updated in a really cute and fun way, and I liked the rival's character arc. Some of the cameos that I won't spoil were also really cool! It felt like a combination of a .5 sequel and a remake, and that was pretty neat in its own right.
Basically, if the Pokemon devs wanted to work on Let's Go Johto and refine the mechanics some more, I'd be really interested in seeing it.

Yet another adventure through the Kanto region, Let's Go Eevee is...oh, where do I start on my mixed bag of feelings for this game. For starters, I will commend the game on at least attempting to utilize the characters of the Kanto region in a more nuanced and fun manner than they had previously; they have added little nuggets of character to the few gym leaders we see outside of their gyms, and Blue/Red and even Green are standouts in terms of fun characters to interact with. The rival character, though not Blue Oak, is also a fun addition to the party and has a lot more explicit character development on screen going from a somewhat nervous and cowardly friend to someone who's able to stand strong on his own and be determined. On a personal note, the addition of seeing shiny Pokemon in the overworld, as a shiny hunter? Also a major plus.
But man, outside of all of those facts, this is just...it's Fire Red and Leaf Green with a fresh coat of paint, and not even a good one. It sticks to only the original 151 Pokemon, when it could've easily added in some of the new evolutions introduced in later generations in the post-game. The arbitrary gym requirements, while...interesting, don't really serve much of a purpose other than to waste the player's time.
Really, though I'm happy to have been able to play this game, I could genuinely go the rest of my life without another excursion through the Kanto region, save for a potential Let's Go Johto. There definitely wasn't enough done with the formula to make this a fun romp.

After playing Pokemon Go, I decided to lower this further. What works on mobile devices doesn't work here. Oh, and the remix of the gym leader theme is a bad song. I'm sorry if this wasn't a very wholesome review.
I hate the IDEA of this game, but man. I had fun.
it is underrated and you all are WEAK
better than people say
best pokemon game since B/W, but that isn't saying alot
I think I'm just too old for the new Pokémon games.
I felt exactly nothing during all the time I played this game, no joy or excitement, just emptiness.

made the process of catching pokemon worse for some reason, a mechanic that's been boring for a long time. this should have been a mobile title
