![]() While I enjoyed playing with my kids on the living room TV, I also got a kick out of playing in portable mode. ![]() Now, I realize these pint-sized guides of mine aren’t standard kit for Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee, but if you’re playing with children that are into Pokémon, you’ll just might get a kick out of exploring Kanto through their eyes, not yours.Īnd if you’re playing on your own, may your memories of Kanto be your guide. As we went from one town to another and met people such as Professor Oak and Brock, my children explained who and what everything was with a great deal of excitement. I enjoyed traveling through it, seeing what new towns had to offer (like a museum!), exploring caves and tunnels, and finding goodies in nook and crannies through forest trails and hilltop paths. Kanto means a great deal to lifelong fans of Pokémon: It was the first region in the series, and they’ve enjoyed many adventures here. My kids dug this, feeling like they were playing the show. You can also capture monsters while playing in portable mode with a button press as well, and you can fight together, too. The best part is playing co-op with another person - you can make a game out of who captures the Pokémon first, or if one person isn’t so skilled at throwing the balls, the other can do it for you. When done right, motion controls can get you off the couch and help make you feel more connected to the game you’re playing, and I feel Game Freak has done just that with the Let’s Go games. I realize some Nintendo fans have hated motion controls since the Wii made them viable in 2006. In fact, I rather enjoyed “throwing” the Poké Balls. You do fight trainers and gym leaders (and those Team Rocket blackguards!), and I didn’t find this adaptation of the series’ traditional mechanics to be lacking. I realize this is a departure from the standard Pokémon RPGs, where you fight the critters you capture. It’s like Skee-Ball, but instead of winning tickets that you turn in for crappy prizes, you capture Pokémon … which can sometimes evolve into stronger critters. You throw Poké Balls with the Joy-Con or a Poké Ball Plus (a ball-shaped controller with one stick and one button). The Let’s Go games showcase another good use of the Switch’s motion controls.
