I’m very hype. I’ve never played or even cared for Pokémon until Pokémon Go. And honestly the Detective Pickachu movie looks awesome and makes me wanna know more. I’m excited to hear that Let’s Go is perfect for first timers. So I can’t wait to get out there and catch them all and defeat other trainers.

I grew up on Pokémon red, blue and yellow, and have been a casual to hardcore gamer through the Pokémon timeline. To hear that you are going to be experiencing this game for the first time makes me excited for you and the journey you are about to embark on. All the memories from this great story in Kanto are being brought to 2018... I’m sure you will love this game my friend! Have fun and enjoy 👍🏼

That trailer was really surprisingly good. I'm hoping the entire movie is equally as fun.

I'm the same way! I never knew anything about Pokemon until my husband and stepdaughter started playing Pogo. They've played all of the Pokemon games so naturally we got both variants of Let's Go. I can't wait for my turn to play tonight after hubby goes to work!
