Let's Go Did Anyone Else Like This?

I'm glad to hear that some people were able to have a good time with the Let's Go games. They were very much meant as an entry point for new fans but as someone who had already been with the franchise for over twenty years, they really weren't for me. Even as someone whose first game was Yellow, which these were technically a remake of, I didn't end up getting any enjoyment out of Let's Go Pikachu. It's my least favorite Pokémon game to date and I pretty much had to force myself to finish (and compete the Pokédex). But, as I said, I wasn't in the game's target audience and I'm glad to hear that it served as a good entry point for new fans.

 

I found the look of it super charming and it is quite fun to shiny hunt in with the very clear visuals for the spawns. Not a fan of the super powered partners but hey I just boxed my eevee and considered it my "shouldermon" instead of using it in battle. I didnt end up playing it through at the time, I should nuzlocke it at some point.

 

There were things in the game that frustrated me like the catching mechanics, dumbed down difficulty, and removal of the Sevii Islands, but after seeing how the other Switch Pokémon games turned out I think it was better than I remembered. It’s the only time the Pokémon following mechanic has ever worked in 3D, the remastered soundtrack is fantastic, and it’s a very pleasant to look at game. I also appreciate the better Pokémon distribution than past Kanto games. Having Oddish and Bellsprout before the first gym was fantastic. I kinda regret selling the game tbh.
