SCREENSHOTS

Features and differences from core games
- Pokémo Go like catching
- You can use your Nintendo Switch's Joy-Con to toss a Poké Ball at your target with one hand, either by pressing a button or flicking your wrist.
- You'll need to use motion controls to catch Pokémon in Pokémon: Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee, regardless of whether or not your Switch is docked, and they're compulsory throughout. (Source: Eurogamer)
- Pokémon box is no longer only accessible through the PC at Pokémon Centers, but rather you can check the Pokémon and make switches from anywhere through your Bag. (Source: Serebii)
- Can transfer Gen 1 Pokémon from Pokémon Go to the Switch games
- Inspired by Pokémon Yellow, not a remake
- Following Pokémon return
- Eevee and Pikachu customization

Treehouse 2018 Info
From Serebii
- All Poké Ball Plus will come with a Mew.
- It has been confirmed that Let's Go Pikachu & Let's Go Eevee will be available with a special bundle that includes the game and the Poké Ball Plus peripheral for $99.99
- Size of Pokémon you capture alters the amount of experience you earn in Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee. Bigger Pokémon get more experience. Like in Pokémon GO, you can use a Razz Berry to make Pokémon easier to capture.
- All of your Party Pokémon gain experience from capture. You get bonuses for the quality of your capture
- The aura around Pokémon in the wild indicated Pokémon size. Red: Bigger than normal | Blue: Smaller than normal
- The stat screen when you level up shows the stats and nature are still in place and that Pikachu learns Double Kick
- CP is confirmed to work the same way as in Pokémon GO as an overall indicator of the combined stats of the Pokémon. You can also swap out the Pokémon you have following you at will
- The new rival is a character called Trace. He is less adverserial than the original rival
- In order to access Pewter Gym, you need to have a Water or Grass Pokémon on your team
- To connect to other players over wireless or Internet, you need to share a Link Code. This is a code made out of various Pokémon akin to Pokémon GO's Raid Battle lobby system
- GO Park replaces the Safari Zone in Fuchsia City. Multiple GO Parks can be saved. Pokémon in GO Park can then be captured by talking to the Pokémon. It can't be sent back to GO
- The higher the CP of a Pokémon in Pokémon GO, the higher level it will be in Pokémon Let's Go through Pokémon GO Park
- Candy exists in Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu & Let's Go Eevee. Boosts a Pokémon's stats. Quick Candy for example boosts Speed.
