A new video has surfaced, comparing the upcoming Pokemon Let's Go, Pikachu & Eevee on the Switch to the original Pokemon Yellow.
Both upcoming Let’s Go titles for Nintendo’s latest platform are inspired by 1999’s Pokemon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition for the Nintendo Game Boy, which was released as an enhanced edition of Pokemon Blue and Red.
The new Pokemon installment for the Switch was officially announced last week, and website GameXplain has now compared the upcoming game to the original. Check out the comparison video below:
With Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!, Pokémon is inviting fans on a new journey by taking them back to a familiar setting. Inspired by Pokémon Yellow, which was originally released in Japan on Nintendo’s Game Boy in 1998, these two new titles feature many of the intuitive gameplay functions offered to players in the hugely popular Pokémon GO and are designed for players taking their first steps into the Pokémon video game world.
Trainers will embark on an epic adventure set in the iconic Kanto region joined by their trusty Pikachu in Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! or Eevee in Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! They feature brand new gameplay to make the most of the unique capabilities of Nintendo Switch, such as throwing Poké Balls to catch Pokémon by swinging Joy-Con controllers, as well as the opportunity for family and friends to battle and explore together in a new two-player mode.
Pokemon Let’s Go, Pikachu and Eevee are both slated for a Switch release on November 16.
