Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! are role playing video games developed by Game Freak for the Nintendo Switch in 2018. As remakes for the first generation in the Pokémon series, more specifically Pokémon Yellow these titles focused on a casual friendly approach, new catching mechanics, and integration with the Pokémon Go augmented reality mobile game.

Unlike previous remakes, such as Fire Red and Leaf Green, which were faithful to the originals but added additional content and modernized systems, these games play differently from the originals in ways that are fundamentally different, namely in regards to wild Pokémon are caught and overworked traversal. Instead of fighting wild Pokémon, the player is asked to aim and throw Pokéballs and berries at specific times in order to catch Pokémon. Instead of relying on HMs for overworld movement, Secret Techniques take their role, allowing the partner Pokémon to preform those roles. The game supports live 2 player co-op on a single console, something that the series had not seen before. The story has also changed, albeit less drastically than the gameplay, with some characters added, and a lot of generic NPC dialogue added or altered to accommodate new mechanics. Notably some of the content present in the originals was removed outright, namely the original Safari Zone and the Game Corner.
