Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! - Nintendo Switch

Kanto, the region where Pokémon began, remade for Switch and retold along the lines of Pokémon Yellow. Pikachu is your partner from the first step: it rides on your shoulder, can be dressed up in outfits, and wiggles its tail when a hidden item is near.

Wild Pokémon roam in plain sight, so you choose which ones to approach, and catching works by throwing a Poké Ball with a flick of a single Joy-Con — timing decides the catch more than aim. A second player can join at any moment by shaking another Joy-Con, throw alongside you, and turn trainer battles into two-against-one.

Online trading and battles, including with Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!, need a Nintendo Switch Online membership.
