Pokemon: Let`s Go Pikachu and Let`s Go Eevee are now available onSwitch, marking the series` proper debut on Nintendo`s hybrid console. While not direct remakes of the classic Pokemon Yellow version, the pair follow its template very closely, featuring the same setting, story beats, and the original 151 Pokemon (plus their Alolan variants, which could be acquired either from certain NPCs or by transferring them over from Pokemon Go).Despite their many similarities to Yellow, Let`s Go Pikachu and Eevee do introduce some new elements to the series--most notably Meltan, a brand-new Mythical Pokemon that hasn`t appeared in any previous mainline Pokemon game.

Once opened, the Mythical Pokemon will begin appearing in the wild for a limited time, and you`ll be able to capture it just as you would any other monster.
