Pokémon: Let’s go, Eevee! Retrospective review – still has a ball

We are quickly approaching the release of Switch 2, so it’s time to look at some of the iconic games that Nintendo has been released in the last few years. This is where this retrospective Pokémon: Let’s go, Eevee! The review comes from.

Pokémon: Let’s go, Pikachu! and Eevee issued in November 2018, marking almost seven years since their debut. We can now compare them with several other Pokémon games on the switch and see how they stick. Although the games are similar, I have the Eevee version, so we’ll focus on it.

These games serve as HD Pokémon Yellow, dividing one title into two to match most other editions in the series. The charm of Gameboy is still there, although modernized, to welcome the next generation of players into the magic of the first generation of Pokémon.

Let’s go, Eevee! He brings you back to the Kanto – OG region, the first place where we meet Asha, Charmander and Magikarp among many more iconic creatures. You start at Pallet Town, where Professor Oak tells you that you get your own Pokémon and that your journey begins here. Incredible! We all waited for this. Then you pass the world, starting meetings with Wild Pokémon, catching them, fighting with other players and working on the badge collection.

We all know this story. We all know what will happen. We look here whether the game is good, whether it stays and whether it is consistent with others – let’s be truthful – disappointing Pokémon editions on the switch.

Positive Let’s Go, Eevee! (and Pikachu) include pure game nostalgia. Not everyone has Pokémon Yellow knocks around, so this is a great opportunity to get back to the game from childhood or discover it in childhood, depending on how senior you are.

My favorite thing was Pokémon’s buddy. I wasn’t going to spend $ 50 on the game I was playing, but what? Can I have an umbrella next to me? Can I drive around the airport along the streets? Ok, good, take my money. To be truthful, I had a great time with it and in my opinion it can be one of the best Switch games.

The biggest positive, however, is that it works. It doesn’t tighten. There is no drop of frame. There are no cutting models or character. I was fed up with rubbish, playing in Pokémon Scarlet – apart from cutscenes, there were so many problems with graphics and how well the game worked. Or did not work. Pokémon Legends: Arceus also had crispy graphics, although it worked a little better. We have never received solutions, and a look at how well let us go to run and how nice it looks compared to later games.

Another key difference in later games is that you can play, come, Eevee! with someone else. How wonderful. You can both throw the balls on nothing without a bell! In addition, you do not need a second controller, because the game requires only one Joy-Con per person. It may be dividing, but I think it is charming. This means that you can lie on your side and play a game with one hand protruding from the quilt, and for a indolent girl like me it is a win.

However, I wonder what happened to the “Let’s Go” franchise. Almost seven years have passed and we still don’t have another modification. Or any DLC to expand this area, although many people assumed that they would come. Maybe let’s just go to bring Pokémon Go to Switch players, giving an easier entry point with a smaller number of mechanics. However, I would like to see another game because it seems to waste a novel franchise and then leaving it in dust.

It is also strange for me that you can get the variants of Alolan of some Pokémon in Let’s Go. I mean, I think it makes sense, because Alola and Kanto exist at the same time, and people in the world travel, but it has signaled that there would be an extension of the game and … there was no. I also didn’t like Meltan and Melmetal’s projects and I didn’t even try to catch them in the game using a complicated method of integration. I also left the steep, diminutive Pokéball controller, which came out about the same time. Even on mews I will not spend an additional $ 40 except a game of $ 50.

In general, I still recommend, let’s go, Eevee! -i pikachu, if you prefer electronics. This is a good and comical remake, which is faithful to the original, but with a refreshed soundtrack and a nice novel style matching contemporary expectations. The full price can be a bit high for what it is, but it’s definitely worth spending time if you like Pokémon.

If you need a specific contract with the type, when you go against Elite Four, we have lists of the best Pokémon Ghost, Best Electric Pokémon and Best Fairy Pokémon, which can support.
