Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee

Any game that lets you pet Pikachu throughout gets at least a few placements higher on this list.

Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee seems to have just been a one-off experiment. On the surface, the remakes of Pokémon Yellow appear to be a Pokémon Go tie-in for your Switch. But their retooling of the series’ usual catching mechanics in favor of Pokemon Go-style motion controls makes a 20-year-old RPG feel fresh, and isa nice, focused detour before heading into Sword and Shield, which expands the lore and competitive scene. While going back to the original Gen I games will give you that same focused experience, the Let’s Go games are an inventive, modern take that let you dress up Pikachu and give him good pets. It rules.
