I believe all of these things kind of illustrate how these games have evolved in somewhat of a different direction compared to the traditional main series Pokémon RPGs. And my goal for these games is really to create a Pokémon RPG for everyone. And I believe that not only have we managed to make these titles great entry games for those who are new to the Pokémon RPG series, but at the same time, really provide a new and fresh experience that long-time fans of the series will enjoy. So it's really my hope that all sorts of people will give these games a try. So that concludes my introduction today for Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, but before I go I would like to say just one more thing.

The series began with the first installment in the [[Pokémon]] franchise, {{game|Red and Green|s}}, released for the [[Game Boy]] in {{pmin|Japan}} on [[Pokémon Day|February 27]], 1996. Core series games have only been released for {{wp|Handheld game console|handheld systems}}, though this includes the [[Nintendo Switch]], which is both a handheld and a home console.
-The games in this series have traditionally followed a standard model of the {{player}} who initiates their {{pkmn|journey}} through a specific [[region]] to catch and raise {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, battle other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, fight against [[villainous team]]s, and earn recognition of a [[Pokémon League]] (usually by collecting their [[Badge]]s from certified [[Gym Leader]]s and entering their [[Hall of Fame]] as a {{pkmn|Champion}}).
