Question for anyone who has played Pokemon Let's Go.
My kids (5 and 7) generally don't play games, but after watching the Detective Pikachu movie, they are a little excited about playing Pokemon. I'm not a Pokeguy, so should I wait until Sword and Shield, or would it be better to go with Let's Go as an "easy" introduction?
Yes yes yes. Let's Go will be much easier for them to grok. Be a cool dad and spring for the $40/each Pokeball Plus controllers too, so they can bring the starter on the go and form a lifetime of memories.
Bonus dad points for getting them opposite versions.
Some parts may need coaching (gym leaders, puzzles, story points) but they should have no problem roaming around and doing random battles, filling their Pokedexes as they dream of being the very best, like no one ever was...
Sorry, this brought nostalgia back for me.
Despite my misgivings of Let's Go, it's a warm feeling to imagine kids outside my generation experiencing Kanto like I did. For the record, I had a few problems back in the day playing Blue at 7, but twenty years later Nintendo and Game Freak have both mastered the art of handholding, so I don't think they'll have too many issues.
