Traditional Pokémon games always have great depth and mechanics and hard for new Pokémon player to get start. In Pokémon Let’s Go, Game Freak removed most of these mechanics and aiming to be an even more accessible and kid-friendly experience.

One of the distinct features of Pokémon Go is that it makes players actually need to leave their homes and walk around in the city for encountering wild Pokémon.

Original Pokémons

Pokémon were born more than 25 years ago and have continued to emerge across eight generations. With each generation, new Pokémon and new types are added, and to this day, there are 898 Pokémon.

Pokémon: Let’s Go and Pokémon: Go both go back to the beginning, where the original Pokémon games were set. The games have the original 151 Pokémon only.

Wild Pokémon Encounters And Catching

In Pokémon: Let’s Go, Game Freak change wild Pokémon encounters. After you initiate an encounter with a wild Pokémon, you no longer throw out your own Pokémon to whittle down their HP to a level where they’re weak enough to be caught. Instead, the game uses the system used in Pokémon Go where you have the option to either throw berries at Pokémon or throw pokéballs at them.

Throwing pokéballs can be done through buttons as well as by motion controls. Mimicking how the same was done by flicking the touchscreen on Pokémon Go. If you want the feeling of being a real trainer throwing pokéballs, there’s the Poké Ball controller that you can purchase. If you’re not too keen on spending extra money, you can just use your Joy-Con.

The Best Starter Pokémon Game on Switch

Pokémon: Let’s Go is the 3DS game launched in 2018, the graphic quality of Pokémon: Let’s Go is not worse than Pokémon: sword and shield, which released in Dem. 2019.

Players will start off in Pallet Town, meet Professor Oak and encounter the 151 original Pokémon. In addition, elements of the Pokémon anime will appear, notably Team Rocket and specific characters.

As remakes of the original games, Pokémon let’s go will once again have Team Rocket as its primary antagonistic organization. And this time, Jessie and James are also going to be joining the party
