Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu

Nintendo at E3 2018 was a blast! We went back to visit my colleagues as the Nintendo Booth of E3 again this year. We had a lovely exchange and then Julie took me up to play the upcoming Nintendo Switch titles. Thank again to Nintendo of Canada for setting us up with this fantastic opportunity, as well as Julie for the fantastic tour once again!

Pokémon Go has been a game I've come back to every once in a while, but since the announcement of Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Pokémon Let's Go Eevee, I've been playing almost every day, attempting to catch as many of the original 151 Pokémon as possible. Today, Nintendo demoed the game more extensively during the Nintendo Treehouse Live, and we have the details from that stream here!

When watching the trailer for Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Pokémon Let's Go Eevee, I began to wonder about the decision to focus on Generation 1 Pokémon. Personally, I really like the idea of doing this, and cannot wait to relive Pokémon Yellow as I play this game with my eight year old kid, who's never experienced Generation 1! But what about subsequent generations? What about the people show grew up with Pokémon Silver and Pokémon Gold? I've had a crazy thought, and...it is crazy.
