In Pokemon Let’s Go Eevee and Let’s Go Pikachu, players revisit the Kanto region from the original Pokemon games in a fresh new way. The games feature updated graphics and gameplay mechanics that cater to both new and old fans of the franchise. Players get to experience a more immersive journey with their Pokemon companions, thanks to the games’ focus on bonding with and customizing their partner Pokemon.

The games also incorporate elements from the popular mobile game Pokemon Go, allowing players to capture Pokemon using motion controls and take their Pokemon out of their Poke Balls to follow them around in the game world. This creates a more dynamic and realistic relationship between the player and their Pokemon, as they explore Kanto together.

Fans of the original games will appreciate the nostalgic journey through Kanto, complete with updated versions of iconic locations and characters. However, the games also introduce new elements, such as the ability to ride certain Pokemon and take part in Master Trainer battles after becoming the Pokemon League Champion.

Overall, Pokemon Let’s Go Eevee and Let’s Go Pikachu are well-executed remakes that blend old and new elements of the franchise to create an enjoyable experience for both newcomers and veteran Pokemon trainers.
