Let’s Go Pikachu hands-on — the Pokémon version of a bunny slope

Before I played Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) this week in Los Angeles, I was worried this reimagining of the originals wouldn’t be for me. Let’s Go Pikachu and its counterpart, Let’s Go Eevee, come out for the Switch on November 16.

Let’s Go is meant to bridge the gap between fans of the mobile hit Pokémon Go and a more traditional Pokémon experience. So Let’s Go has battles, Gym Leaders, and all of that stuff you’d expect from a Pokémon role-playing game. But it’s a lot simpler.
