The items features are super simplified - you have berries for catching pokemon and bonding with your starter, health and other effect potions, candy that each raise a specific pokemon stat, and then a whole lot of items made just to sell. While the catching mechanic means you'll be spending a lot more on pokeballs in-game to account for your missed shots, it's really super easy to get cash. And level up your pokemon. And also to get the starters - there are characters in-game that will just hand you a charmander, squirtle, and bulbasaur.
So like, it's a little unbalanced, but this also makes for super fun gameplay - I think this a great game for people who haven't been introduced to the main pokemon games very thoroughly, especially those who are more familiar with pokemon go than anything else. It beautifully incorporates the motion mechanics of the switch - but it uses surprisingly few buttons; you can play the game with just a joycon, which almost feels like a waste, but it makes it a lot easier for a second player to join in without having to purchase extra controllers. (The second player makes battles and catching like EVEN easier btw.) So it's a really fun game to introduce you to Pokemon, to play with a companion, or just to mess around in - and it also makes it waaay more feasible to get Melmetal in Pokemon Go btw.
Pros:
-Low challenge game, letting the player relax and have fun reliving the nostalgia of the past.
-Parents of small children will find the two player features great! Your child can run along side you and actually help you catch Pokemon and fight trainers (without hindering your progress!)
-Being able to take Pokemon out of their poke balls to ride or walk is a lot of fun, I think kids will really enjoy that feature.
-Connects to Pokemon Go(no limit how many accounts can connect!) and lets you transfer Pokemon in. You can achieve 100% in this game even if you don't have access to Let's Go Eevee.
Cons:
-Low challenge game. This game might be boring or uninteresting to more skillful players.
-There doesn't seem to be a way to change the outfit on the second player. They are just dressed to as the opposite gender doppelganger of the main player. The can also get lost off camera.
-The map is awkward to access. They just threw it in the item pocket and it acts like any other item. It's not even anchored to the top of the list, so it can get lost under your items.
-Connecting to Pokemon Go can be tricky depending on your phone and it's Bluetooth capabilities.
As a bonus, we don't have to feel guilty about leaving a trail of dead Pokemon behind us on our quest to become the best trainer!
Your character moves through the world with a little story (same as all the others really) about starting your own adventure as a Pokemon trainer, and you find wild Pokemon in the environment and use the Switch's motion-sensing aiming functionality to throw Pokeballs to catch them to add to your team. This is also how your team gets stronger. Other trainers in the game can and will challenge you to fight with your team of Pokemon, and when you win you get money and more Pokeballs.
The Pokeball Plus is a great addon item for this game, as it will simulate the throwing motion (HOWEVER a word of warning to parents; be sure your kid knows to use the wriststraps securely and only make the throwing motion with it, don't actually throw the Pokeball Plus as it could break! I don't recommend it for smaller children who don't know any better).
You can also use the Pokeball Plus to level up Pokemon when you aren't playing the game. If you use the Save menu, you can put a Pokemon of your choice into the ball, then as you carry the ball around with you and take steps it will level up.
For more hardcore Pokemon fans: The first thing you have to keep in mind is that this really is a remake of Red and Blue. I kept thinking that a lot of their newer features from the latest games would be here but they were not. It's not a bad thing, because they definitely added a lot of other features that weren't even present in other games, but it's definitely something to keep in mind.
As a result, you don't have breeding. If you want a pokemon with good IVs you'll have to keep catching them over and over until you get one. The nicest new feature so far is the portable Judge system to allow you to immediately check IVs on new 'mons you capture (however, you don't unlock it until a little after Cerulean/Vermilion City). Pokemon given to you through the game itself from NPCs will generally always have amazing IVs, which is nice.
They also made the Pokemon Box usable on the go, so you can switch out your team wherever you are.
EV training is handled by catching certain types of Pokemon over and over again in "combos". You get candies reflecting a stat that Pokemon represents which you can then feed to your 'mon of choice. If your 'mon is one easily caught in the wild, catch a lot of that same one and send them to Professor Oak to get a candy for that Pokemon that ups all its stats.
A neat way they handled HMs in this game was to have your partner Pokemon learn the majority of them without them taking up move slots. So Cut, Flash, etc get learned by your partner. Surf is handled by a few water-types like Gyarados and Lapras (who you get for free when you unlock the ability) as, again, additional features instead of actual moves. I haven't gotten this far yet but I believe Fly isn't gotten until after the Elite Four, and again will only be handled by specific Pokemon, Charizard being one.
All in all, some fancy new stuff to check out, the Switch controls are fun imo, I love the Pokeball Plus for catching and powerleveling 'mons.
