In line with tradition in past Pokémon games, this Switch version will have two variants; “Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!” and “Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!” The trailer did not specify how the two will differ, but based on the footage, it may come down on who will be the player’s starting Pokémon.

Going into the trailer, gameplay appears to be similar to the classic gameboy version, except with flashier and updated graphics. The site describes the gameplay as a reimagining of the story from “Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition”.“Let’s Go” also makes the most of Switch’s hardware. Players can use the JoyCon to simulate throwing a Pokéball to catch Pokémon, thanks to its motion sensors. This method finds similarity to the mobile Pokémon game, “Pokémon Go”, where players could “throw” their smart devices as if throwing a Poké Ball at a Pokémon. This feature was implemented due to the two games’ interconnectability.Pokémon caught on Pokémon Go could be transferred to the player’s “Let’s Go” account and raised with the ones caught in “Let’s Go”.  In the same manner, players can gift Pokémon to a “Pokémon Go” account.

Today a new rumor about Fortnite Switch hit the Web via a group of leakers posting on the Twitter account  @LeakyPandy .

Mario Tennis Aces for Switch: Various Character Types

Mario, Luigi, and Daisy are all-rounded characters, and are recommended for beginners to start with, although this doesn’t mean that they are weak characters. They have decently powerful shots, and move across the tennis court at an average speed. There are also differences between the all-around characters. For example, Luigi has slightly weaker shots than Mario, but stronger volleys near the net.  Technical characters have less power in general behind their shots, but boast excellent ball control, such as being able to hit wider angles. Their Zone Shots and Special Shots are also slower, so the idea is to go tricky with their standard shots. Speedy characters move quickly across the court, and especially so when using  Zone Speed. They are handy when fighting against characters that players aren’t used to facing, and characters who can send their shots in any direction. However, they are lighter in weight, and tend to be more affected by knockbacks from Nic...

Pokémon Switch rumors leave fans guessing about the next game

A LOGO The biggest clue, according to fans, Twitter and forum users, comes from 4chan. A thread on the image board’s Pokémon section suggests that  Pokémon Let’s Go! Pikachu Edition  and  Pokémon Let’s Go! Eevee Edition  are two Switch games coming this fall, the first pair from the Pokémon franchise to hit the console. Attached is art of a potential logo for these titles, which users see as lending further credence to the alleged leak. GAMEPLAY CLUES — AND A VIDEO COMPILATION So there’s reason to have doubt about the logo’s veracity. But an earlier thread from 4chan contains details that do sound more plausible. All the way back on March 31, a separate thread claimed to offer the first details of the upcoming Pokémon Switch game. This anonymous user wrote that  Let’s Go!  would be “[ Pokémon Yellow ] remakes for Switch” sold in both Pikachu and Eevee versions; the games would star Red and Blue, the original trainer and rival from ...
