151 original Pokémon + Alolan forms + 1 brand new Pokémon.
The Pikachu and Eevee you start with will ride on you.
You can choose another Pokémon to follow you or you can ride some Pokémon.
The Pikachu and Eevee you start with will not evolve. *You are still able to get the evolutions if you catch a different Pikachu or Eevee in the game.
The Pikachu and Eevee you start with have special outfits you can dress them in.
The game features the same capture mechanic as Pokémon GO.
This is a timing based catch system.
There are no wild Pokémon battles.
Pokémon have both CP and traditional Levels.
This is the first Pokémon game to feature co-op gameplay
Player 2 becomes whichever character was not chosen by Player 1 (If Player 1 is the girl then Player 2 is the boy).
Both players share Player 1′s inventory.
Both players throw Pokeballs at the same time to catch wild Pokémon.
Both players can walk around the screen independently.
Trainer Battles become Double Battles even if the Trainer only has 1 Pokémon.
This game does have Pokémon Go integration.
There is a deep connection between Pokémon GO and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! For one thing, Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region that you have caught in Pokémon GO can be brought into these two new Nintendo Switch games.
If a Pokemon has been sent to Pokemon Let’s Go, it will be unable to return to Pokemon GO.
Niantic’s John Hanke says when trainers connect their GO and Switch accounts, you can do more than just transfer Pokemon, but they want to save some surprises.
Masuda confirmed that if a Pokemon is Shiny in Pokemon GO, it will still be Shiny in Pokemon Let’s Go.
It is unknown how a Pokemon’s stats from Pokemon GO are treated when transferred, and awaiting for information on if they will remain the same, or alter, when recaptured in Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee.
With the Poke Ball Plus, when carrying a Pokemon, it will light up, make noise, and move.
Masuda also said some other things will happen when carrying Pokemon, but he didn’t want to get into the details.
Masuda said his team worked especially hard on making use of the Joy-Con’s six gyro sensors to ensure it felt right when a Pokemon is caught, and this technology was transferred to the Poke Ball Plus.
You should be able to feel the Pokemon rock “realistically” in the Poke Ball Plus when it’s caught.
The new Pokeball Plus accessory can function both as a Nintendo Switch controller for the game and also as a Pokémon GO Plus device for the mobile game. You can also transfer 1 Pokémon at a time to the internal storage of the Pokeball Plus and take it with you on walks.
The game does feature both online battling and trading.
