In a major city you can probably play Pokemon Go without any need to buy PokeBalls, but it can get a little tougher to play purely for free in smaller towns. The catching mechanics are similar between Go and Let's Go, as well - which differ from most other Pokemon games. If you're allowed to install games on your cell phone, Pokemon Go is free(mium) and there's a way to transfer certain Pokemon (the original 151 from Kanto) from Go on your mobile device over to Let's Go on the Switch. You can use a price-tracking site like Keepa to set up an alert so if it drops below, say, $46, you'll get an email. Right now Let's Go Eevee is just under $50, but it's not uncommon to hit $45. ![]() While the MSRP of Switch games is $60, the Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee games are often on sale on Amazon. That said, they don't go on sale often and as I just mentioned will be pushing DLC, so maybe not the best option for someone saving up and just starting out. Of the games on the Switch, Sword/Shield are the newest "mainline" games and have the largest selection of Pokemon, with more coming after a patch coinciding with DLC. My only hesitation to promoting these games is the simple fact that the removal of dungeons and the changes to the game to make it more "accessible" might leave new players with a disappointed sense of "this is it, this is what all the hype was about?". So as far as kickoff points go, SwSh is a good start, though they do lack a lot of the challenge and exploration that made the older games so popular. ![]() It's for this reason that I feel it important to point out these distinctions, because the experience of LGPE will very likely give you unrealistic or simply incorrect expectations for the rest of the series if they are your first games.Ĭonveniently, for new players at least, the SwSh titles were made to be very accessible and new player friendly. While LGPE are labelled by Gamefreak as mainline games, the game play in these titles varies quite differently from the rest of the mainline games and thus, playing these games will give you a very different experience than every other mainline title. Sword and Shield (SwSh) are the only two genuine mainline games on Switch at the moment with the Lets Go games (LGPE) being more of a fusion of the mainline games with Pokemon Go.
