"The game's mechanics perfectly ride the wave of success of the Pokemon GO phenomenon. Some core fans will be disappointed and that's completely fine, but the direction of Let's GO Pokemon is clear and it succeeds in its mission to provide a simple, yet addictive Pokemon game that can be enjoyable for all gamers. It's Pokemon at its addictive best and the only option is to set out and Catch 'Em All. " ... Read full review

"Pokémon: Let’s Go’s nostalgic charm and interactive gameplay will have both newcomers and returning trainers hooked as they explore the beloved Kanto region. Let’s Go mashes together these two different styles of Pokémon game into one streamlined format, and despite some slight annoyances, these remakes provide an intimate take on the classic Pokémon journey, especially when played with the Poké Ball Plus accessory. If you’re looking for a refreshing take on the Pokémon RPG, then this one may keep you invested until you catch ’em all. It probably won’t take long though." ... Read full review

"Pokemon Let's Go is engineered to let youngsters play along with their parents, but there's a lot here for veterans to enjoy, too. It's relentlessly cute and colorful, and while the challenge level won't blister your skin, the new Coach Trainers will keep you hopping. We're still not sure about the Go-style method of catching wild Pokemon, but Pokemon Let's Go's ability to link-up to Niantic's app offers a quick and easy way to fill out your PokeDex. Game Freak is clearly getting the hang of the Switch, so bring on Gen VIII!" ... Read full review

"For what is supposed to be the next step forward for Pokémon, Pokémon: Let’s Go Pikachu! feels like it has taken a few steps back. While there are aspects of the game I do enjoy, there are also glaring issues that I cannot just ignore. Ultimately, Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! needlessly simplifies core mechanics in a series that does not require such streamlining." ... Read full review

This game is a gem. It's bright, fun, exciting, and has replay value if you're a pokemon fan, shiny hunter, or competitive battler. Having pokemon walk with you is very cute, and the attention to detail they've put in the games is crazy. If you're a pokemon fan, you owe it to yourself to play this. It IS better in handheld mode in my opinion, but it certainly is still playable in docked mode. Don't believe the negative hype. It's a great game!… Expand

Ofcourse smogon players aren't real pokemon fans so they'll just bash this game, while its actually one of the best iterations in the franchise!

Remake del clásico Pokemon amarillo.

Historia: la historia es muy similar a la original, pero presenta cambios ocasionales en la trama.Remake del clásico Pokemon amarillo.

Historia: la historia es muy similar a la original, pero presenta cambios ocasionales en la trama.

Gráficos: Son preciosos, los nuevos modelados 3D de los 150 primeros pokemon + algunas formas de Alola son excepcionales. Corre a una resolución 1080p 60 fps en modo dock y 720p 60 fps en modo portátil.

Banda Sonora: bastante buena, pero la opinión en este aspecto es algo subjetiva.

Dificultad: el juego es un paseo, el endgame es bastante simplón y nada desafiante.

Duración: la campaña principal tiene una duración de unas 18 horas. Pero se alargan notablemente si deseas completar la Pokedex, derrotar a los entrenadores legendarios, comprar la corona de 999.999 PokeDólares de Pikachu y haced varios shiny huntings. En mi caso le metí 100 horas a mi primera partida, pero fue más por fanatismo que por contenido real. Actualmente, estoy haciendo un nuzlocke con mis amigos, así que las horas aumentarán.

Online: Una cagada por parte de Nintendo no apoyar este juego de forma online, no tiene búsqueda propia. Los jugarores nos buscábamos la vida poniendo el código triple Pikachu y rezábamos para que te emparejarán con un japo random. Actualmente no sé como estará el online después de la salida de Sword and Shield. La crianza en este juego es inexistente, simplemente utilizas un ítem que te pone full stats al Pokemon y a darte de hostias. Además, las naturalezas las podrías controlar mediante la adivina, así que ni siquiera necesitabas dedicarle mucho tiempo a la captura (yo estuve mucho tiempo capturando, pero por los shiny huntings).

Captura: rompe la fórmula tradicional, sustitución del combate aleatorio por modelados 3D en la hierba en tiempo real. Sustitución de la fórmula tracional de captura por la de Pokemon Go.

Como fallo gordo, el cual más me dolió, es que no pusieron la zona Safari. ¿Pero qué cojones? Era el juego perfecto para hacerlo. Supongo que fue por limitaciones.

Conclusión: Pese a sus fallos, lo recomiendo para todo fan que priorice la nostalgia por encima de la calidad. Pero el juego no es necesariamente malo, como comento le metí la friolera de 100 horas aunque lo critique en este análisis. En mi opinión, fue una buena compra, pero hay que ser consciente de los fallos para que las compañías no se duerman en los laureles.… Expand

Overall, I am not pleased with this game. I have been a Pokemon fan every since Omega Ruby and have liked the quality and style of the gamesOverall, I am not pleased with this game. I have been a Pokemon fan every since Omega Ruby and have liked the quality and style of the games up until Pokemon Let's Go Eevee and Pikachu. There are some aspects of the game that I like. For example, I believe that you are able to choose which Pokemon you want to catch instead of random encounters is nice and I preferably quite like it. I also think that because of the new combo feature and the Shiny Charm, it makes catching shiny Pokemon more enjoyable and easier rather than spending hours on end trying to find that one shiny Pokemon you were looking for. There are many features that are unpleasant and disappointing about this game as well. I found this game to be quite fun when I was playing it. I liked battling all the gyms and battling the Elite Four again, but after that I quickly lost interest in the game. I myself am not a shiny hunter so that takes the aspect of "chaining" as I call it and filling up the PokeDex out of the question. The "Master Trainers" don't provide a interesting thing to do after the game, and Team Rocket does a lousy job of trying to battle your trainer again after the game. Overall, I am disappointed in the post game adventure unlike Sun, Omega Ruby, and X. I also am not a fan of the catching mechanism that Game-freak used in this game. I find myself using too many Pokeballs and infuriating myself on how Pokemon somehow instantaneously flee from battles breaking my chains. I am used to spending 1-3 Pokeballs in the other core games rather than 7-9 Pokeballs in this game. I also dislike how there are only 151 core Pokemon in this game (excluding the legendary, special Pokemon, and the Alolan Pokemon). This makes for the game to be somewhat boring and tiring going through. I honestly think there is a lack of story line here both in game and post game. The way that Game-freak merged the game with Pokemon Go was disappointing and unpleasant for the core gamers. Overall, I think you should give this game a try. It's not only my opinion that shapes your mind to whether you want to buy the game or not. I think it should not be called a core series game and more of a sub-series game. Disappointing overall.… Expand

Juego que destruye la franquicia desde su base, tomando las mecánicas y bajandolas a niveles infantiles en extremo.

Pokemon Let's Go comoJuego que destruye la franquicia desde su base, tomando las mecánicas y bajandolas a niveles infantiles en extremo.

Pokemon Let's Go como un juego de la saga principal apesta, no tanto por las mecánicas que pudieron estar y no están, no tanto por el hecho de no poder luchar contra pokemon salvajes, sino por ser una versión tan asquerosamente casualizada y sin ningún ápice de curva de dificultad comparado con el juego en el que se basa, cosas como que uno tiene un repatir. exp soldado con fuego desde el principio, incoherencias tales como que nada mas empezar tienes 50 pokeballs sin que nadie te las diera, cosas absurdas como que te obliguen a llevar a un Pokemon efectivo contra los dos primeros gimnasios, y la rotura anal de poder sacar de la caja a un pokemon donde quieras, cuando quieras, hacen a Pokemon Let's Go una basura como RPG, cuya dificultad solo depende de que el jugador se auto-limite a si mismo o juegue en formato nuzlocke. No hay mas.
Los movepools de los pokemon y especialmente de Eevee y Pikachu iniciales estan rotos y demasiado casualizados, lo desafiante del Pokemon Amarillo original estaba en por ejemplo, vértelas con Brook con ningún Pokemon de tipo Agua/Planta y ver como derrotabas a sus Pokemon de Tipo Tierra con un Pikachu, como RPG le daba sabor al asunto, pero en Let's Go es completamente asesinado con la aparición de Psyducks y Oddishs en pleno Bosque Verde, lo cual es vergonzoso, así es todo el juego, un vórtice de condescendencia y facilidades sin fin.

Mejor compren otro juego, lejos de la franquicia Pokémon.… Expand
