Pokemon Lets Go Pikachu

I have to admit that I have never been part of the whole Pokémon phenomenon. It seems like it is something that would have been perfect for me. I’m a collector of things and the tagline was always “gotta catch em all”. However, I was in that spot between being just a bit too old and not doing much with games and toys when the craze started. It has certainly not slowed down if things like Pokémon Go became a worldwide thing. Well, now the Nintendo Switch has a new game called Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! So, it is two games and you have to decide which team you are on. Nintendo even has special bundles that include a Poké Ball Plus.

I love how many fun accessories the Nintendo Switch has for making the player be more a part of the experience of the game. For example, the Poké Ball Plus. It lights up and vibrates and acts like a real Poké Ball would if those were actually real things. But what a fun experience to put a player into the games’ world. There is also special Nintendo Switch has decorations specific to this game and includes either Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! plus a Poké Ball Plus I have all of the products linked out to Amazon (affiliate links) below so you can get quick access to them.
