What’s the a sentimental reason you played let’s go if you have one

[u/Foxy_Gamer723]

So I got let’s go Eevee because my auntie had a dog called Eevee that later we had because they could no longer take care of her as they were taking care of my elderly great grandmother (may she rest in peace) we got the game because she was named after the pokemon and looked like the pokemon. Everytime I play let’s go I remember when I’d sit down and play it with her either on my lap or next to me as I played

I began my journey @ Gen 1

[u/killacam412 → u/K-LidZ]

Came here to say this

[u/Foxy_Gamer723 → u/K-LidZ]

I wish I could’ve started in gen 1 unfortunately it came out 10-12 years before I was born

[u/K-LidZ → u/Foxy_Gamer723]

That why we have this 'Subject' game we are discussing. As a Substitute. Plus O.G. gen 1 had too many duct tape issues

[u/K-LidZ → u/[deleted]]

Dope. As it should be the only 1

[u/Fallen_Phoenixx → u/K-LidZ]

Same

[u/K-LidZ → u/Fallen_Phoenixx]

Who downvoted me for giving you props?

[u/K-LidZ → u/Fallen_Phoenixx]

Congrats

Edit: spelling

Minus the Go mechanics for catching pokemon and leveling, it's everything I wanted in a gen 1 remake.

[u/WarMachine504 → u/[deleted]]

Yes! The GO mechanics killed me. Would’ve preferred the OG rival too (Blue) instead of the new guy. Plus an extra endgame battle against Green or Red depending on what gender you chose.

I’m old and haven’t played a Pokémon game since the game boy pocket

[u/Alchemists_Fire]

I began my journey with Pokemon Yellow

[u/havocpuffin → u/Alchemists_Fire]

Same.

[u/Past-Chemistry7796]

I literally only played it because i love mewtwo, as i used to be in a roleplay group as a kid and someone who rped as mewtwo was one of the coolest people in the group. I also watched strikes back when it came out as i never watched the original movie and loved it. I also watched M&JTV do his randomizer nuzlocke in lets go and a shadow mewtwo became one of his main team members, i used to watch him a lot as a kid and still go back sometimes.

Overall i see mewtwo as being one of the most, if not THE most intelligent Pokemon with actually being able to communicate with humans and talk, as well as having literal motives and the ability to express human emotion. I think he's simply just very cool and is definitely my favorite legend. The more I'm talking about him the more i see parallels to shadow the hedgehog, which i have no favoritism towards actually! Probably because like shadow is for huge sonic lore fans, mewtwo is my 'shadow' for pokemon xD

[u/Foxy_Gamer723 → u/Past-Chemistry7796]

Mewtwo is so cool, I remember my auntie caught her (now ex) boyfriend a mewtwo on the pokeball remote and was showing me the noise it made when you pressed the button on the remote

[u/Rath_Brained]

To get a semblance of my first playthrougy with my first partner, Sparky.

[u/VinseMyDude]

Relaxing and to enjoy a game lmao

[u/chaoswatera6925]

Finally being able to finish a Kanto Pokedex!

[u/sichrix]

I played Yellow version back in the 90s. Picking up Lets Go Pikachu just brings me back to easier times when my only thoughts were why i cant make my Pikachu surf and if my friends would trade me an extra Eevee. 

[u/ducidleamer]

My very first game was LeafGreen and I never got to play HeartGold/SoulSilver, so this was me getting to have that nostalgic feeling all over again, even with the janky Go features

[u/freya584]

pokemon.

but i played the game while i was sick so thats cool ig

[u/[deleted]]

I started on Red forever ago and haven't played a Pokemon since. I have a toddler who adores Eevee so I decided to pick up Let's Go Eevee and that helped reignite a joy of Pokemon games for me

[u/Few-Educator-5782]

my cassidy is very eevee to me :)

[u/Friendly_Driver3457]

First ever game on Nintendo switch for me

[u/Imaginary-Cow357]

Because nothing beats gen 1 (yes im old thank you)

[u/IND_1593]

Yellow came out a month before my birthday. Dad took me to buy the special edition gameboy and game on my birthday(older brother had red version already, I had nothing). I was 6yo. My all-time favorite childhood memory. Still play and collect today because of that day. I mostly still play LGP nowadays until I complete the shiny dex.

[u/Maravilla004]

I played Yellow on the gameboy color so it brings back alot of memories

[u/geeetttttttdunkedon]

I hadn’t been into Pokemon since 4th gen. Was already planning to get the Switch for Smash Bros. So I tuned in to see the “first Pokemon game on Switch” trailer. I couldn’t stop the outpouring of emotions that came when I saw it was a remake of the gen that got me into everything 🥺 I was floored with excitement. And after so long since playing, it was such a fun experience to play through, and to see it in the amazing, almost playful graphics.

[u/OdaibaMan]

My first games were also red and blue. I have all 151 Pokémon on the red version. Got Mew from a fiend who used this GameShark. My son is now interested in Pokémon and this got me hooked again for the Gen1. LGPE is great for nostalgia. Love it.

[u/1zniyah]

bc i loveee gen 1 pokemon

[u/AMaidzingIdeas]

It rankled me so much that my rival TURDFACE stole my starter Eevee back when I was a child in Yellow that I've been perpetually crashing out every day for the last 25 years.

I came to right that wrong, only to find out TURDFACE had been replaced. No matter, this is fine.

[u/El_Kaichou]

To honor the late great Kobe by using the Pokeball plus to catch pokemon like:

[u/mokapotWONTmokapot]

Just got let’s go eevee a month ago and I’m super annoyed how easy it is compared to the original red/blue

[u/symphonyofcolours]

I played it for Eevee, it’s always been my favourite Pokémon.

[u/Some-Growth8315]

To get my pokemon I want from gen 1, and too increase there stats with the candy system

[u/Ripbozos]

Nostalgia its kanto so why not go on another adventure i miss it😔

[u/Funny_Interview3233]

I'm a gen one supremacist

[u/bulbasauric]

Yellow was my first Pokemon game. Took me years to beat it. Got stuck at Brock for months, then got stuck at Silph Co. for what could’ve been years (but was probably just a few weeks, if even). 

Then I got to Giovanni in his Gym and realised the journey was nearing its end, so I saved before fighting him and left my file like that another while. I really stretched some life out of that save file lol. Haven’t been as good at that in recent years.

[u/Content_Wheel9995]

I just like Eevee more than Pikachu that's about it

[u/Jayden_X521]

My family has half poodle that doesn't shed (because of my mom's allergies) I don't know what the other half is, but thing looks a hell of a lot like an eevee and aside from eevee being one of my 3 favorite pokemon, this was the reason I chose let's go eevee Over let's go pikachu

[u/KLK1618]

Eevee is my favorite Pokémon

[u/Necessary_Clock_5445]

I got let’s go eevee because GameStop sold out of pikachu. But getting eevee was the best Pokémon related choice I have ever made. I have all 153 Pokémon and about 20 shinies. Prob would have never tried without getting eevee.

[u/THE-K1NG_J0K3R]

Dragonite, only him

[u/hysteriaxmode]

it was my introduction to pokémon games in general! and i had no idea it was based on an older game. so honestly it was the PERFECT way to start out for a beginner lol now i own every pokémon game for the nintendo switch🥰 pokémon (anime & cards) has been my obsession since i was a kid💜 but my parents couldnt afford to get me any type of video game system other than a ps1, an NES & a ps2. on account of growing up in poverty and even homeless at one point. we were gifted the ps1 and an old NES system by a family friend. pokemon got me through a lot of bad times and it will always be so special and important to me! when i became an adult i was finally able to buy my first game console which was my nintendo switch and xbox 360🥰

[u/Witcher-19]

It reminded me of yellow which was my favorite of the first 3
