Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! (Nintendo Switch) Review

It's been a long time coming, but at long last Nintendo players can play their Pokémon RPG on their TV set again, as well as take it on the go for a Kanto adventure just like back in the 1990s.

It has been two decades since the release of Pokémon Yellow, a game that defined and solidified fans' passion and love within the Pokémon franchise.
