Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! brings the classic Pokémon RPG experience to the Nintendo Switch, offering a fresh reimagining of the original Kanto adventures. Designed to be approachable for newcomers while remaining deep enough for veteran Trainers, this title focuses on the bond between the player and their partner Pokémon, Eevee. Together, you will explore a rich, vibrant world, battle Gym Leaders, and thwart the sinister plans of Team Rocket.
Gameplay is evolved for the modern era, featuring true-to-size wild Pokémon that roam the environment. Players can catch these creatures using a gentle throwing motion with a single Joy-Con controller or the optional Poké Ball Plus accessory, which provides immersive light, vibration, and sound effects. For those who prefer a traditional experience, full button controls are available in Handheld Mode.
Social and connected play is at the heart of the experience. You can share your adventure with friends or family via local wireless or online play, or even invite a second player to catch and battle alongside you on a single system. Furthermore, the game integrates with the Pokémon GO app, allowing players to transfer Kanto-region Pokémon—including Alolan and Shiny forms, as well as the rare Meltan—directly into their Switch adventure.
Customization and care add a personal touch to the journey. As you travel, your bond with Eevee grows stronger through care and companionship. You can also personalize your experience by customizing both your Trainer and Eevee with a variety of stylish outfits, ensuring your journey through Kanto is uniquely yours.
