Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!
Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! are 2018 remakes of Pokémon Yellow, a 1998 Game Boy Color role-playing video game. They were created by Game Freak and released on the Nintendo Switch by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo. Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! were announced in May 2018 and were released globally for the Nintendo Switch on November 16, 2018. The games are the first main series titles to be released for a home gaming system and are part of the seventh generation of the Pokémon video game series. They support an extra controller, the Poké Ball Plus, and are compatible with the smartphone game Pokémon Go.
Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! were initially revealed in May 2018 at a Japanese press conference, with the objective of attracting newbies to the franchise as well as longtime fans. They were also designed to appeal to a younger audience, which is why, like Pokémon Yellow, the games feature aspects from the anime. Critics gave them mostly positive reviews, with praise going to the accessibility and charm and criticism going to the motion controls. As of December 2021, the games have sold over 14 million copies globally, making them one of the best-selling titles on the system.
