Exclusive Pokémon

We don’t know anything about the Pokémon which are exclusive to the Pikachu game just yet. But if you take a look at the older Pokémon games it is almost a given that there will be some kind of exlusives. If you want to catch them all you might want to buy both versions of the games.

Pokémon Let’s Go! and Pokémon Go

Pokémon Let’s Go! and Pokémon Go are strongly connected. Your most beloved creatures can be transfered from one game to the other. So you can play with your Pokémon both on your Switch as on your smartphone. This is only the case for the first 151 Pokémon for now, including Mew and Mewto. The Pokémon Company promised us to tell more about this connectivity on a later date.
