Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! - Nintendo Switch

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! is a charming and accessible reimagining of the beloved Pokémon Yellow, developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company exclusively for Nintendo Switch. Return to the iconic Kanto region — the world of the original 151 Pokémon — in a beautifully realized 3D adventure that blends the classic Pokémon RPG experience with the intuitive catching mechanics of Pokémon GO. With your partner Pikachu by your side at all times, Let's Go, Pikachu! is the perfect entry point for new players and a deeply nostalgic journey for longtime fans.

Partner Pikachu — Always By Your Side

In Let's Go, Pikachu!, your partner Pikachu accompanies you everywhere — riding on your shoulder as you explore Kanto, reacting to your actions with adorable animations, and growing closer to you as you play together. You can dress Pikachu in outfits, play with it, and feed it berries to strengthen your bond. The relationship between you and your partner Pokémon is at the heart of the Let's Go experience.

Kanto Reimagined in 3D

Explore the iconic Kanto region — Pallet Town, Viridian City, Pewter City, Cerulean City, Lavender Town, Celadon City, and all the beloved locations from the original games — beautifully reimagined in full 3D for the first time. Wild Pokémon roam visibly in the overworld, creating a living, breathing world that feels more immersive than ever before.

Pokémon GO Catching Mechanics

Instead of traditional wild Pokémon battles, Let's Go uses the intuitive catching mechanics of Pokémon GO — throw Poké Balls with motion controls or button inputs to catch wild Pokémon. The system is accessible and satisfying for players of all ages, and Pokémon GO players can transfer their caught Pokémon directly into the game via the GO Park.

2-Player Co-op & Poké Ball Plus

A second player can join the adventure at any time in local co-op — both players exploring and catching Pokémon together in the same world. The game is also compatible with the Poké Ball Plus accessory, which lets you play the entire game using the ball as a controller and take your partner Pokémon with you on the go.
