AND POKÉMON: LET’S GO, EEVEE! LAUNCH ON NINTENDO SWITCH TODAY

16th November, 2018 – Take Pikachu or Eevee on an adventure across the Kanto region and prepare to catch Pokémon with streamlined catching gameplay inspired by Pokémon GO when Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! launch today on Nintendo Switch.
With over 300 million Pokémon games sold worldwide to date, and more than 800 million downloads of Pokémon GO, the Pokémon phenomenon that came to Australia and New Zealand in 1998 is set to get even stronger with today’s launch of Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! These two new mainline Pokémon games are available exclusively for Nintendo Switch, the unique home console from Nintendo that can be played anywhere, anytime, with anyone, which has passed 22 million consoles sold worldwide.
Players of Pokémon GO will be able to transfer select Pokémon
caught in the real world to their Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! game by connecting their smart device to the Nintendo Switch console via Bluetooth Low Energy connection.
Enjoy the story and find out where it all began
With these new titles’ accessible gameplay, Pokémon players from the
series’ 20-year history, and anyone who discovered the series through Pokémon GO,
are all invited to become a Pokémon Trainer in a classic Pokémon
story. Beginning their journey in Pallet Town, players will meet, catch,
and raise many Pokémon on their journey to become the best Pokémon
Trainer that they can be. In a story based on
Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition brought to the living
room in high definition, players will need to work with their partner
Pikachu or partner Eevee to thwart the dastardly plans of Team Rocket,
who wish to take advantage of Pokémon for their
nefarious ends. Even after the story ends, there’s more to do, with the
challenge of battling skilled Master Trainers, trying to catch all 151
Pokémon, and more. Plus, any Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto
region caught in Pokémon GO can be transferred
to Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!
Invite a friend to join the adventure anytime, anywhere
Friends
and family can get in on the fun and give a helping hand with
the Support Play feature. For example, with this feature it’s possible
for two siblings to explore the world together using a single Joy-Con
and a
Poké Ball Plus (or a single Joy-Con each) – they can even both
have a Pokémon travel alongside them as well. In battles, both players
will be able to control a Pokémon and issue it commands, giving them the
upper hand, while they can boost their chances
of catching wild Pokémon by throwing Poké Balls at the same time. And
with the benefits of the Nintendo Switch console, friends and family
alike can play on their TV at home or take it with them on their travels
to catch Pokémon together
anytime, anywhere.
Catch Pokémon like never before with the Poké Ball Plus
For
the first time in the Pokémon series, players can grab a Poké Ball
Plus to catch Pokémon with a simple throwing action just like a Pokémon
Trainer would. The Poké Ball Plus is a Poké Ball-shaped device that can
be used to play and catch Pokémon in
Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!
in place of the Joy-Con. In addition to having motion controls, the Poké
Ball and players will actually feel it rumble and hear the Pokémon
inside – it feels like you really caught a Pokémon.
The
Poké Ball Plus is also compatible with Pokémon GO, so while connected,
players no longer need to look at their phone to know if a Pokémon
appears nearby. Pressing the button on Poké Ball Plus throws a Poké
Ball, and the device will light up and vibrate to let players know if
their catch was successful. As long as Poké Ball Plus
is connected to players’ smartphones, it’ll also measure the distance
they travel, so they can hatch eggs or get candy from their buddy
Pokémon.
Connect to
Pokémon Go for even more fun
There is a deep connection between Pokémon GO and
Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!, as
Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region that players have
caught in Pokémon GO can be brought into these two new Nintendo Switch
games.
The GO Park complex is where players’ Pokémon will arrive after syncing
their Pokémon GO game with Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!
It’s here where players will be able to see their Pokémon running
around and having fun. There's no limit to the number of Pokémon GO
accounts that can be tied
to a single save file in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! or Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!
which means players are not limited to connecting with just their own
Pokémon GO account – they can get Pokémon from friends and family, too.
Join Pikachu or Eevee on an adventure across the Kanto region and
catch Pokémon in a whole new way when Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and
Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! launch today on Nintendo Switch.
Experience a classic Pokémon story and catch Pokémon with the Poké Ball
Plus controller, while it’s possible to transfer Pokémon caught with
Pokémon GO to both Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! game.
