Pok\u00e9mon Let\u2019s Go Pikachu and Let\u2019s Go Eevee were the rumoured names, and there was plenty of talk about how the two games would feature cross-platform integration with Pok\u00e9mon GO. Well, as it turns out, those rumours were right on the money, and the actual product looks bloody awesome.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Nintendo announced Pok\u00e9mon Let\u2019s Go Pikachu and Pok\u00e9mon Let\u2019s Go Eevee, due out for a worldwide release on 16<sup>th<\/sup> November. These games will take players back to the Kanto region for a new adventure that Junichi Masuda says is being built on the formula of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/gbc\/pokemon_yellow_version_special_pikachu_edition\">Pokemon Yellow<\/a><\/strong>, and will feature only the original 151 Pok\u00e9mon. However, rather than Squirtle, Bulbasaur, or Charmander, your starter will be either an Eevee or a Pikachu that will follow you around outside the Pok\u00e9ball. Gameplay looks like it will be a cross between the main series and Pok\u00e9mon GO, and it will feature direct connectivity with the AR game that allows one to trade Pok\u00e9mon back and forth between games.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?
