INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:

them.

Pokémon quest revisits the well loved core cast of ‘mons from the
Kanto region (think Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow era) but with a cubist twist
The game will hit the Switch first (it already there!) before expanding to iOS and Android later in June
Cube charizard, be mine.
Beyond the cute cubey apéritif, a beginner-friendly set of games called Pokémon: Let Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon:
Let Go, Eevee! will hit the Switch on November 16
According to its creators, the two titles &bring the experience of a classic Pokémon RPG to Nintendo Switch with gameplay that is easily
approachable for newcomers to the series, but is also deep enough to keep veteran Trainers on their toes.& We&ll see about that.
Pokémon:
Let's Go, Pikachu!, Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!, and the #PokeBallPlus will be released on November 16, 2018 worldwide!

The Pokémon Company also
explained that the two games will tie into the hit mobile experience of Pokémon Go, though we don''t know the full extent of what that
looks like yet:
There is a deep connection between Pokémon GO and Pokémon: Let Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let Go, Eevee! For one thing,
Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region that you have caught in Pokémon GO can be brought into these two new Nintendo Switch
Look forward to more details at a later date.
Beyond the crowd-pleasing option to center either pikachu or eevee (let be real, you&re
picking eevee), the Let Go games will showcase a new peripheral for the Switch known as the Poké Ball Plus that designed to simulate the
evocative gesture that seasoned trainers know so well
Apparently, Nintendo put plenty of thought into that experience, so we&re hoping that it really brings to life the sensation of a wild
animal wriggling rhythmically as its freedom seeps away, second by second.
You can use the #PokeBallPlus as a Joy-Con in #PokemonLetsGo!
Good things may happen if you place one of your favorite Pokémon into the device and walk around with it in the real world
It will be able to connect to Pokémon GO as well! pic.twitter.com/I18Y55odpp

Pokemon CEO:
Nintendo engineers helped make the Pokeball
The idea was to create the closest thing possible to an actual Pokeball that really felt like it has a Pokemon inside

Again, these games aren''t the core handheld title that diehardpokéfans are
after, but if you&re going to have to wait until 2019 for a propermain series Pokémon RPG experience on the Switch, today news should offer
plentiful snacks to tide you over.
