Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu! and Let's Go Eevee! turn 5 years old today

They're okay, I do agree that the visual style has some great qualities but it's not my favorite.
The thought of replaying it though... eh, the capture style definitely is not enticing me to start it up again anytime soon.

Awesome game that we kinda broke playing co-op lol, wish they could have balanced things a bit better but oh well it was still fun to play a Pokemon game together.
I never get tired of visiting Kanto and I thought the graphics were BEAUTIFUL. I really like the character designs and and bright and colourful everything is.
I liked and defended the game back then and still like it today, after the meh Sun & Moon killed my love of the franchise Let's Go! did a good job bringing it back.
And my favourite part was GETTING ADDICTED TO SHINY HUNTING! The chain system was awesome and I loved camping out trying to find a particular one (except when they run away lol :( thankfully later games made it much easier to protect your shiny). This ignited a part of the game to me that carries on today with Arceus and Scarlet basically being shiny hunting games to me. :)

These games are too nostalgic for me personally, everytime I've fired up one of these classics I'd wish time would turn back to the late 90s when red and blue were released.
Good times indeed.
It's a shame that I don't think for us olders we'll ever feel the same way we did with Pokémon again since those early days.

The best thing these games did was all the unique ways Pokemon follow you in the overworld and some of them being ridable in unique ways, some you'd never expect.
That wasn't enough to get me to buy it though. I've considered it many times, but I don't think I feel like playing it.

Happy birthday to fairly good games. I started over Pikachu a few weeks ago and am enjoying it for what it is. I got it earlier in the year and it's definitely scratching my Pokémon itch because Scarlet/Violet still seem abysmal performance wise.
Honestly, I appreciate this game for the attachment to your partner Pokémon. Pikachu was already my favorite Pokémon so I went with Eevee and gained a new appreciation for them. I was hoping to have that experience with maybe two other Pokémon in Johto but that seems like it ain't gonna happen.
This image was leaked months or a year before LGP/E was announced and there was discourse on whether it was real or not. It turned out to be real.
Amazing game. Probably the only good one in Switch along with Arceus. The rest can die in a volcano. Wish they would have expanded it to Johto.
The most polished Pokemon game on Switch, and the first pokemon game on Switch. How fucked up is that. Probably the only Switch pokemon game I can say is consistently pleasant to look at.
A prime opportunity to do a great remake of Gen 1 but it continues the bullshit GF trend of removing content in prior versions of the game, to say nothing of gameplay mechanics excised. I did like the (relatively minor) things they added though.

It's disappointing that this never turned into its own sub-series. I liked how different it felt from the mainline games, with the focus on catching Pokemon being even greater than battling. Being able to simply catch every Pokemon you meet without fighting them leads to a very stress free playthrough. Especially if you enjoy the motion controls for throwing your pokeball (were honestly pretty fun, in my opinion).
It definitely feels like a lot more of a casual, carefree experience than other games in the series - especially Arceus, which while also having a greater focus on catching, is also the polar opposite of this game, with just how dangerous wild Pokemon are - but I think that makes it a good introduction point for new players. Especially with the co-op mode, which makes the game even easier - feels like a "little sibling along for the ride with big bro/sis" add-on rather than a truly, fully fleshed out gameplay style in its own right - but is fun none the less.
Selling that Mew with the $50 pokeball controller - which basically only really works for these game - was definitely a real rip-off, though.p

I never got it because it just oozed "baby's first Pokemon" and I couldn't be bothered with the watered down gameplay. And to this day, mainline games keep rubbing it in my face because I don't have save data for the game.
It's specifically nostalgia of Pokemon Yellow but, yeah, if you haven't experienced the other Kanto remakes, you'll probably enjoy it.
I don't like this more than most Pokemon games, but in retrospect it's more ambitious than a lot of the Switch era games. If we're gonna go back to Kanto again, I'm glad we did it through something that at least felt this different.
Also, the soundtrack is fantastic. The best those childhood classics have ever sounded.

Arguably the best version of Kanto and (for me at least) the prettiest Pokémon art style on the Switch.
I had heard so many criticisms and thought that I'd hate these games but they were the best of both worlds in a way: You still got to fight trainers properly, but wild encounters weren't about battling. It's not as if fighting random Pokémon is in any way exciting, so I definitely enjoyed this change.
Also, the OST was fantastic. Hopefully we'll get a Johto game at some point so that its soundtrack can get a glow up as well.

Kinda the game(s) that brought me back more intensely as a kinda distant Pokemon fan (not a fully lapsed fan, more like a burnt out and increasingly disinterested one). Being super nostalgia-heavy from the gen 1 setting, plus just kinda going mega streamlined and reducing tedium big time made for a super delightful romp. Plus the Pokeball controller is both silly as hell and super cool at the same time, imo—just felt like the form factor elevated that nostalgia factor a lot, and the pedometer functionality overlapped with my then-ongoing interest in Pokemon Go very nicely.
Super cool remake/remix. I get why some Pokemon fans didn't like it, but I thought it quite refreshing and pleasant.
It seems that I ended up enjoying Sword/Shield, Legends Arceus and Scarlet/Violet way more than most folks after Lets Go.

Cool games, still think they have the best graphics on a Pokemon game. I dropped them when I needed to focus on combos to grind, wish they would offer classic wild battles too. Would make them great remakes.
Yes!
Yeah that was ridiculous... Basically relegating the first proper TV console pokemon game to a handheld only experience.
I particularly love the waters. They're the perfect amount of cartoony while still looking super pretty thanks to the shaders used. These games are very pleasant to look at and are quite vibrant. I enjoyed ShSw more than many other folks, but their washed out looks were quite a disappointment after Let's Go.
Exactly. I'd argue they are some of the most pleasant games to look at in general not just pokemon
Every time I see an image of these games I want to delete my save and start again haha
I bought Let's Go! Eevee to my little ladies and they enjoyed it a lot before moving to "serious" Pokémon games.
