Welcome back to my second post on Pokémon: Let's Go! If you haven't checked out my first post yet, I highly recommend you do. New Game For Nintendo Switch: Pokémon: Let's Go! (Part 1) Today I'll be explaining some of the best features in this game.
Befriend Your Partner
Your starter will be either Pikachu of Eevee, depending on your game version. Just like other starters, the Pikachu or Eevee will join you in your adventures and you'll grow with it. As a new feature, your Pikachu or Eevee will be visible along with your character (either on your head or your shoulder). This can be seen in the image below, can you spot the Pikachu?
Don't forget that you can also play with your Pokemon, how cute!
As you advance in your journey, you can also choose to have your captured Pokemon "be visible" too. Take this Charizard for example. Isn't it awesome? While some of the smaller Pokemon will walk/run with you, the bigger Pokemon will be able to carry you around!
Catching Made Easy
The process of capturing Pokemon is much easier in Pokémon: Let's Go! All you have to do is use the Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Con to toss a Poké Ball by pressing a button. If you're really into Pokemon, you can even flick your wrist, as if you're throwing a real Poké Ball! But most importantly, you don't even have to battle the Pokemon, it's the same way as Pokémon Go!
Step 1: Walk up to a wild Pokemon to battle.
Step 2: Press button OR flick your wrist.
Step 3: Capture was a success!
Multiplayer Mode
For the first time, two players can team together in one game! You can share one of your Joy-Con controllers with a friend and two of you can play at once. Instead of one person, now two people can throw Poké Balls together. This increases the catch rate. Don't forget that your friend also joins you in battles, what a helpful boost!
Poké Ball Plus
Instead of using your Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Controllers, you can purchase a handy dandy Poké Ball Plus. I will be discussing this awesome item in detail in my next post.
Link With Pokémon GO
To all Pokémon GO players, you can now transfer your Gen 1 Pokemon to Pokémon: Let's Go! Since Pokémon GO added other generations, some of your Pokemon might not be able to be transferred, it's only the first 151 ones. Do keep in mind, transfers are one way only. It's not possible to transfer Pokemon from Pokémon: Let's Go! to Pokémon GO

Hmmm I thought you could transfer pokemons between GO and Lets GO without any implications but I guess not o: This whole game seems really interesting!
Transferring from Pokemon Go is a nice feature! Now all I need is a Nintendo Switch so I can actually get this game lol!
But man, isn't riding on a Charizard everyone's dream? I guess the only thing that can beat that is riding on a Dragonite or one of the three Gen 1 Legendary Birds.
If two players throw pokeballs together who is going to get the pokemon?
