New information revealed for Pok\u00e9mon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pok\u00e9mon: Let’s Go, Eevee!<\/h2>\n

The Pok\u00e9mon Company International and Nintendo provided further details on the highly anticipated Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu!<\/a><\/i> and Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Eevee!<\/i><\/a> games, releasing later this year on the Nintendo Switch<\/a> system. <\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu!<\/i> and Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Eevee!<\/i> will both feature a variety of exclusive Pok\u00e9mon which are unique to each game. In Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu!<\/i> Trainers will be able to capture Pok\u00e9mon including Oddish, Sandshrew and Growlithe; while players of Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Eevee!<\/i> will be able to capture Pok\u00e9mon such as Bellsprout, Vulpix and Meowth. <\/p>\n

At the start of players\u2019 adventures, they will receive their first partner Pok\u00e9mon, either Pikachu or Eevee. Unlike regular Pok\u00e9mon, their first partner Pok\u00e9mon is not interested in evolving and instead prefers to stay out of its Pok\u00e9 Ball. It will travel with players throughout their journey by hanging on their shoulder or riding on their head. Players can become best friends with their Pikachu or Eevee and can pet, feed and even tickle them. Not only that, but players can dress up their Trainer and partner Pok\u00e9mon in a wide variety of cool and cute outfits, accessories and even hairstyles to become the perfect style duo with their new best friend. <\/p>\n

As players travel throughout the Kanto region, they will meet some familiar faces as well as a few new ones. Professor Oak returns, alongside a new Rival, to present the Pok\u00e9dex\u2014a high-tech encyclopedia that records data on any new species of Pok\u00e9mon that players catch in the games. Players will be able to battle Gym leaders across Kanto, including fan favorites Brock, the Gym Leader of Pewter City, and Misty, the Gym Leader of Cerulean City, as they strive to become the Pok\u00e9mon League champion. In-game Pok\u00e9mon Trainers aren\u2019t the only ones who can be battled. Players will be able to connect with other players online* or via local wireless communication between Nintendo Switch systems to enjoy intense Pok\u00e9mon battles. They will also be able to trade Pok\u00e9mon with each other using these communication features to help complete their Pok\u00e9dex. <\/p>\n

For the first time in a mainline Pok\u00e9mon game, two people can now play together on one system! By gently shaking a second Joy-Con controller, another player can join the fray. There are some real benefits to adventuring together as well, including making it easier to catch Pok\u00e9mon and even battling against tough Trainers as a tag team in Pok\u00e9mon battles. Grab a friend, explore Kanto and experience an adventure like no other. <\/p>\n

The Pok\u00e9 Ball Plus<\/a> device can be used to play Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu!<\/i> and Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Eevee!<\/i> in place of a Joy-Con or alongside the Pok\u00e9mon GO app instead of the Pok\u00e9mon GO Plus accessory**. Pok\u00e9 Ball Plus also allows players to bring one of their Pok\u00e9mon from Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu!<\/i> or Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Eevee!<\/i> with them as they explore the real world. The Mythical Pok\u00e9mon Mew will be available in the Pok\u00e9 Ball Plus, and players will be able to transfer it to their version of these new games.*** Pok\u00e9 Ball Plus will be available to purchase separately at retail alongside Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu!<\/i> and Pok\u00e9mon: Let\u2019s Go, Eevee!<\/i> on November 16. <\/p>\n
