“Let’s Go is my favorite game”
Hey, Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu and Let’s Go, Eevee had some cool ideas. The remake of Pokémon Yellow is one of the best examples of a game really weaving in the theme of friendship between you and your titular starter, and because it was streamlined with only the original 151 Pokémon it cut out a lot of the glut that can weigh down other mainline games. It’s approachable, likable, and the vibes are just good. But it also is such an off-the-beaten-path choice with so many controversial design decisions (motion controls and Pokémon Go-style catching mechanics remain controversial to this day) that you’re bound to get a weird look if you say it’s your favorite. Live your truth, friend. Just, you know, be ready for someone to get suddenly inquisitive.
