'''Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター Let's Go! ピカチュウ''' ''Pocket Monsters: Let's Go! Pikachu'') and '''Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター Let's Go! イーブイ''' ''Pocket Monsters: Let's Go! {{tt|Eievui|Eevee}}'') are the third and final [[Core series|paired versions]] of [[Generation VII]]. They are remakes of the [[Generation I]] game [[Pokémon Yellow Version]]. The games were released on the [[Nintendo Switch]]. The games take place in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and are the second of two remakes taking place in Kanto, following [[Generation III]] games  {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} in 2004.

The games were announced worldwide on May 30, 2018, at the [[Pokémon Press Conference|Pokémon 2018 Video Game Press Conference]] in Tokyo, Japan.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/huge-pokemon-news-revealed-in-tokyo/ Huge Pokémon News Revealed in Tokyo | Pokemon.com]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/pokemon-creators-share-more-details-on-upcoming-games/ Pokémon Creators Share More Details on Upcoming Games | Pokemon.com]</ref> The paired versions were released worldwide on November 16, 2018. All copies of the game are playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

==Plot==
The games are set in the [[region]] of [[Kanto]], with {{p|Pikachu}} available in Let's Go, Pikachu! and {{p|Eevee}} available in Let's Go, Eevee! as a [[starter Pokémon]]. The {{player}} encounters [[Team Rocket]] and has the opportunity to meet two all-new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} through the use of [[Pokémon GO]].<!--

==Blurb==-->

==Features== 
* The [[starter Pokémon]] in this game, {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|game}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}}, have higher [[base stats]] compared to the regular ones, in addition of having all-perfect 31 {{IV}}s. Their gender can be determined by the title screen during the start of game. Unlike the regular Eevee, which does not have any [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]], the female starter Eevee has a unique [[Variant Pokémon#Eevee|heart-shaped pattern]] around the tip of their tail.
* Pikachu, like in all [[core series]] games since {{g|X and Y}}, is voiced by [[Ikue Ohtani]], while Eevee is voiced by [[Aoi Yūki]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/project_eevee/status/1017403291334897664 @project_eevee (Twitter)]</ref>
* The {{DL|Nintendo Switch|Joy-Con|Joy-Con}} is used to {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} Pokémon by flicking one's wrist in a throwing motion, similar to the method in [[Pokémon GO]]. While in handheld mode, [[wild Pokémon]] are caught by aiming the [[Poké Ball]] with motion controls. Wild Pokémon, except for interactive Pokémon, can no longer be battled in a traditional sense, but NPC {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can be battled as normal.
* Two-player simultaneous play feature, which can be done by sharing one of the Joy-Con controllers. Both players can adventure at the same time and one of them may lend a hand by joining in battles against NPC Trainers. This feature also increases the chances of [[caught Pokémon|catching Pokémon]] successfully by throwing Poké Balls together at the wild Pokémon.
* An accessory called the [[Poké Ball Plus]] can be used to catch Pokémon in place of a Joy-Con. Like the [[Pokéwalker]], a Pokémon can be taken on the go and be interacted with for rewards when returned to the game. It also contains the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}}, a special Pokémon that cannot be obtained by normal gameplay.
* The introduction of two new Mythical Pokémon: {{p|Meltan}} and its evolved form, {{p|Melmetal}}.
* Once the player has become the {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Master Trainer]]s will appear and can be found scattered throughout the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. They are considered the strongest {{pkmn|Trainer}}s for every Pokémon species in [[Generation I]] and can be spotted by the icon of the Pokémon they favor above their heads. In these battles, the player are only allowed to use one Pokémon which is the same species as them and any [[medicine]]s are prohibited.

====Alterations from other core series games====
* The games only feature the {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|151 Pokémon}} of [[Generation I]], the new [[Mythical Pokémon]] Meltan and its evolution Melmetal. Players can also import the [[Regional variant#Alola|Alolan forms]] of these {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from [[Pokémon GO]] or receive them from [[in-game trade]]s repeatedly.
* The games are no longer backwards compatible with any other main series games, unlike every other main series game released since {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* In addition to [[Trainer customization|customizing]] the {{player}}'s color skin and clothing, the starter Pokémon can also be dressed in different outfits and be given different accessories and hair styles.
* [[Wild Pokémon]] now appear on the overworld. Coming into contact with one will engage them. They may appear with either a red or blue aura, which indicates their size, either being larger or smaller, respectively, than their own standard size. Similar to the previous games, there is a chance to encounter [[Shiny Pokémon]] in the wild.
** A feature called the [[Catch Combo]] tracks how many of the same species of Pokémon is caught in a row without the Pokémon running away or the game turning off. The higher the combo, the stronger and rarer wild Pokémon become, and Shiny Pokémon become more common.
* The [[time|day and night cycle]], several [[move]]s (including all [[Z-Move]]s), {{Abilities}}, several [[item]]s, [[held item]]s, {{pkmn|breeding}}, and {{pkmn|Egg}}s have been removed from the game.
** Moves that were {{cat|Generation I moves|introduced in Generation I}} are all available in the games.
** Abilities were going to appear in the games, as they are programmed into them, but they were removed, leaving them unused.
** The only available [[Poké Ball]] that were not introduced in Generation I are {{DL|Poké Ball|Premier Ball}} and {{DL|Poké Ball|Cherish Ball}}.
* {{m|Teleport}} has been changed to do something in any kind of battle, as opposed to just battles with wild Pokémon.
* A Premier Ball can be obtained as gift for every 10 Poké Balls (of any kind) purchased at the [[Poké Mart]].
* Calculations for [[Statistic|stats]] have been changed, allowing for Pokémon to reach much higher stat ceilings than in previous core games.
** [[Effort values]] (EVs) have been replaced by [[awakening values]] (AVs), which can be raised by feeding specific [[Candy]].
** High [[friendship]] can boost all stats by up to 10%, before adding in AVs.
* The [[Bicycle]], one of the [[key items]] in Generation I and III, has been removed; the [[Miracle Cycle]] shop in [[Cerulean City]] is replaced with the home of a Bike Maniac who just collects many kinds of bikes; and the Cycling Road is redesigned as the "Pokémon Road" without any {{tc|Biker}}s or {{tc|Roughneck}}s challenging the player.
* A unique section of the [[Bag]] called the [[Candy Jar]] is used for increasing the stats of Pokémon by giving them various types of [[Candy]] obtained from transferring Pokémon to Professor Oak, similar to the Candy from [[Pokémon GO]].
* A section in the bag called the Pokémon Box replaces [[PC]]s, allowing players to switch the Pokémon in their [[party]] at any point in the game.
* The player can no longer play mini-game on the machines in the [[Celadon Game Corner]] because the service desk has run out of [[coin]]s. However, there are certain spots where the hidden items such as [[Bottle Cap]]s are recurring once per day in the Game Corner.
* The {{safari|Kanto}} in [[Fuchsia City]] replaces the zoo, and has added the [[GO Park]], where the player is able to interact with their caught Pokémon. Similar to the Box system in the [[Pokémon Storage System]], the GO Park complex has a total of 20 GO Parks, with each capable of holding 50 Pokémon. Thus, the player can transfer up to 1,000 Pokémon into the games.
** If the player has gathered 25 of the same species of Pokémon, they can play a minigame in the [[Park's Play Yard]] for [[Candy]]. Alolan forms are counted as a separate species, listed in red.
* Exclusive new [[move]]s are available for the starter Pikachu and Eevee. Pikachu can learn {{m|Zippy Zap}}, {{m|Splishy Splash}} and {{m|Floaty Fall}}, while Eevee can learn {{m|Bouncy Bubble}}, {{m|Buzzy Buzz}}, {{m|Sizzly Slide}}, {{m|Glitzy Glow}}, {{m|Baddy Bad}}, {{m|Sappy Seed}}, {{m|Freezy Frost}} and {{m|Sparkly Swirl}}. These moves can be learned from a [[Move Tutor]] in the [[Pokémon Center]]s of [[Cerulean City]], [[Celadon City]], and [[Fuchsia City]].
** The starter Pikachu and Eevee can activate their own [[Partner Pokémon (game)|partner powers]] in battle once they have high enough [[friendship]]. If activated while they are in battle, they use an exclusive move—{{m|Pika Papow}} or {{m|Veevee Volley}}—which increases in damage based on friendship. If activated while they are not in battle, they boost the stats of the current Pokémon.
* [[TM]]s have been reordered and readded with some moves previously available via Move Tutor. The amount of TM moves available also have been decreased compared to previous core series games.
* [[HM]] moves have been replaced by [[Secret Technique]]s, which the starter Pikachu and Eevee can use in the overworld, but which do not take up move slots. These include Chop Down for {{m|Cut}}, Sea Skim for {{m|Surf}}, and Sky Dash for {{m|Fly}}.
* Interactive Pokémon such as {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and [[Legendary Pokémon]] can be battled, but they must be defeated to be captured. A five-minute time limit is in effect for the battle. If the timer hits 0, the battle ends abruptly. Hitting the Home button or putting the console in sleep mode does not pause the timer.
** Electrode disguised as items are now white on top and red at the bottom, just like real Electrode.
** Both Snorlax are battled with either an Attack or Defense stat boost, while all the Legendary Pokémon have all their stats increased, similar to [[Totem Pokémon]].
** All the interactive Pokémon are guaranteed at least 3 perfect {{IV}}s.
* The [[legendary birds]] ({{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}}) can be encountered as the [[wild Pokémon]] in the sky after beating the {{pkmn|Champion}} for the first time.
** Legendary Pokémon encountered this way are not guaranteed to have 3 perfect IVs.

====Returning features====
* The eight [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]] and their [[Badge]]s, as well as the [[Elite Four]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]], return.
** The [[rematch]] battle of all Gym Leaders, the Elite Four, and the {{pkmn|Champion}} after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], also return.
* [[Team Rocket]] returns, including [[Team Rocket trio|the trio]] from the {{pkmn|anime}} series, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Unlike in their game debut {{game|Yellow}}, Jessie and James engage the {{player}} in [[Double Battle]]s.
* The [[starter Pokémon]] have similar traits to the {{game|Yellow}}. In this case, starter {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}}, unlike ones found in the wild, prefer to be out of its [[Poké Ball]] and have no interest in [[evolution|evolving]].
** The starter Pikachu and Eevee also react differently near the hidden [[item]]s by wagging their own tail.
* A feature that allow the player to pet a Pokémon similarly to [[Pokémon-Amie]] and [[Pokémon Refresh]], can be called by pressing "Play with Pikachu/Eevee" on the [[menu]]. However, this feature is limited to the starter Pikachu and Eevee.
* Any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that the player has in their party can [[Walking Pokémon|follow them]] outside their [[Poké Ball]]s, as well as their action and reaction depending on the environment, like they did in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. However, the Pokémon that walks outside of its Poké Ball can now be chosen out of the party.
** Certain Pokémon appear to be ridden in the certain locations instead of following the player. These Pokémon include {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Persian}} (Kantonian form only), {{p|Machamp}}, {{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Rapidash}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, {{p|Haunter}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Rhyhorn}}, {{p|Rhydon}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Starmie}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and {{p|Dragonite}}.
*** Only Gyarados and Lapras cannot appear outside unless they are in the sea.
*** After entering the [[Hall of Fame]] for the first time, Charizard, Aerodactyl, and Dragonite can be ridden across the Kanto region; however they cannot enter the secluded places. This allows the player to encounter and catch the [[wild Pokémon]] in the sky.
* [[Mega Evolution]]s of {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} ({{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Pidgeot}}, {{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Slowbro}}, {{p|Gengar}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}), as well as their corresponding [[Mega Stone]]s, return. As Pokémon are no longer able to [[held item|hold]] an item, Mega Stones can be activated in the [[Bag]] instead. Only Mega Stones belonging to [[Kanto]] starter Pokémon can be obtained prior entering the [[Hall of Fame]].

====Storyline changes from Generations I and III====
{{spoilers}}
* The game features entirely new {{player|protagonists}}, {{ga|Chase}} and {{ga|Elaine}}, instead of {{ga|Red}}, and the role of {{ga|Blue}} is replaced with a new friendly [[rival]], {{ga|Trace}}.
* The player and their rival receive their [[Pokédex]] and first [[Poké Ball]]s along with their [[starter Pokémon]] and no longer battle until returning to [[Professor Oak]] to deliver [[Parcel|his parcel]].
* The [[Team Rocket trio]] appears early at [[Viridian City]], where they replace the {{ka|old man}} as the obstacle keeping the player from progressing to {{rt|2|Kanto}}. They later can be found in the Pokémon Road in {{rt|17|Kanto}} after the disbandment of Team Rocket.
** Unlike in {{game|Yellow}}, {{MTR|Team Rocket's Meowth}} no longer battles.
* [[Mina]], a {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon Trainer from [[Alola]], is visiting Kanto and can be found in the [[Vermilion City|Vermilion Port]].
* [[Lorelei]] appears early during the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}'s raid near the Pokémon Center on {{rt|10|Kanto}}.
* After killing the {{p|Cubone}}'s mother in [[Lavender Town]], {{TRT}} kidnaps Cubone and takes it back to the [[Team Rocket Hideout]]. They also push away the Team Rocket Grunt blocking access to [[Silph Co.]]. Cubone is later adopted into Trace's team after being rescued.
* Instead of battling the [[Marowak (ghost)|ghost of Cubone's mother]], she is calmed by the presence of her child, Cubone, and then departs.
* [[Archer]], a Team Rocket {{tc|Executive}} who was introduced in [[Generation II]] and given a name in [[Generation IV]], appears during the story.
* The player instead meets Red, Blue, and, for the first time as a [[non-player character]], {{ga|Green}} over the course of their adventure.
** Red only appears in the [[Indigo Plateau]] outside of the Pokémon League after the player beats at least six [[Master Trainer]]s.
** Blue appears early in the [[Pewter City]] and later in the Silph Co. during the raid of Team Rocket. Similar to the storyline prior to [[Generation II]], Blue takes over as the Gym Leader of [[Viridian Gym]] after the player beats the {{pkmn|Champion}}.
** Green can be found in [[Cerulean Cave]], searching for {{p|Mewtwo}}, and later reappears in [[Cerulean City]].

==Compatibility==
{{incomplete|section}}
The games are compatible with any number of [[Pokémon GO]] accounts through {{wp|Bluetooth Low Energy|Bluetooth LE}}. Players can send [[Generation I]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and their [[Regional variant|Alola Forms]], as well as {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}, from their phone to the games where they will appear in [[GO Park]]. Pokémon that are one-time or event-only in GO cannot be transferred, such as {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Pikachu}} with various event hats, and {{p|Squirtle}} with sunglasses.

Each time a Pokémon is transferred from Pokémon GO to the Nintendo Switch, the Pokémon GO account will be awarded 100 [[Trainer level|experience]] and one [[candy]] corresponding to each Pokémon transferred. Transferring a Pokémon from Pokémon GO to the Switch for the first time also gives the GO account a [[Mystery Box]], which can be opened once every seven days to spawn wild {{p|Meltan}}. Each time before the box can be opened, a Pokémon transfer must be made from Pokémon GO to the Nintendo Switch.

The games are incompatible with [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Let's Go Pocket Monsters Pikachu.png|thumb|200px|Professor Oak's introduction in Japanese Pokémon Yellow]]
* The term "Let's Go!" (Japanese: レッツ ゴー!) may be a reference to [[Pokémon GO]] and the end phrase of [[Professor Oak]]'s introduction in the Japanese and English versions of the [[Generation I]] [[core series]] games.
* These are the first core series games:
** To be released exclusively on a home console.
*** They are also the first since {{game|Emerald}} to be playable on a home console in any form. While the core series games of [[Generation I|Generations I]] through {{gen|III}} were released for handheld platforms, they could also be played on Nintendo's home consoles of the time through various peripherals.
** To be playable exclusively on a system different from other core series games in their generation.
** In which not every Pokémon revealed at the time is programmed into the games.
** To have a decreased amount of [[TM]]s available compared to past games.
** To not have any [[Battle facility|battle facilities]] since {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
** To not be compatible with previous core series titles in any way since {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and as such, the first to be unable to trade with other core series games in their generation.
** To be compatible with [[Pokémon GO]].
** To not feature the [[Global Trade System|GTS]], a day-and-night cycle, or use two screens since {{game|Emerald}}.
** To not feature [[Wonder Trade]] since {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}.
** To not feature {{pkmn|breeding}} since {{game|Yellow}}.
** To not feature {{Abilities}} since {{game|Crystal}}.
** To not be compatible with the [[Pokémon Global Link]] since {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
** To only have regional Pokémon in the main storyline since {{game|Black and White|s}}.
** To not have a [[PC]].
*** As the [[Pokémon Box]] can accessed from the players [[bag]], this is the only core series game in which the player can change their Pokémon [[party]] between battles while facing the Elite Four.
** To not use different designs between the two versions for the Japanese main title logo (ポケットモンスター).
* Let's Go, Pikachu! has the longest name of all core series titles, including symbols and spaces, with 18.
* These games mark the first time that an {{cat|upper versions|upper version}} has been [[remake|remade]].
* As revealed in an interview with [[Junichi Masuda]], the reason Eevee was chosen as a game mascot alongside Pikachu was because of all of the fanart Eevee has gotten.<ref>[https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/30/17384582/pokemon-lets-go-eevee-pikachu-fan-art-nintendo-switch Eevee’s starring role in Pokémon: Let’s Go was inspired by fan art - The Verge]</ref>
** Masuda also revealed that {{p|Psyduck}} was considered for the role instead of Eevee, but was not chosen because it was the same color as Pikachu.
* These are the first core series remakes to introduce brand-new Pokémon.
* Like in {{game|Yellow}}, {{p|Ekans}}, {{p|Koffing}}, and {{p|Meowth}} and their evolutionary relatives are not found in the wild in Let's Go, Pikachu!. These three Pokémon are commonly associated with {{TRT}} in the {{series|original}}. To compensate, {{p|Mankey}}, {{p|Grimer}}, and their relatives are exclusive to Let's Go, Pikachu!, a reference to two Pokémon {{Ash}} caught in the original series, {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Muk}}.
* The button prompts that appear in menus on the lower-right match colors with the buttons on a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Nintendo]]'s controller as they appear in the Japanese and PAL regions.
* These are the only core series games in Generation VII to:
** Not feature [[Z-Move]]s.
** Give the player a [[diploma]] upon completing the [[Pokédex]].
*** Of the core series games that give out diplomas, these are the only ones in which the design of the diploma differs between the two games.
* Of all of the core series games where {{ga|Red}} appears as a [[non-player character]], this is the first in which he does not have all three [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] on his team.
* Because {{pmin|South Korea}} never got an official Korean-language release for either Generation I or Generation III games (and thus never received {{game|Red and Green|s}} or {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}), these games are the first Korean-language games which primarily feature Kanto and follow the original story featured in Generation I.
** However, Kanto was still accessible in both Generation II's {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}—which was the first official Korean-language release of any Pokémon game—and its Generation IV remake, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, albeit as a post-game extra. Therefore, Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are the first games in Korean to start in Kanto.
** The same holds true for the players in {{pmin|Greater China}}, although these are the first official Chinese-language games to visit Kanto in any form.
* This is the last Pokémon game to be released in the {{wp|Heisei period}}.
