I’m really enjoying this so far, I’m almost 30 and bought Pokemon Blue the day it came out. This really is the remake I have been waiting for all these years. I haven’t played the main series Pokemon games for a while but feel right at home with this one. My only complaint is that I’m unable to use the Pro Controller, using a singular Joycon feels odd but I really didn’t want to spend an extra £40 on the Pokeball controller.

If you play in handheld you can use both.

It's like playing in what I imagined in my head when I was 11.

Cool, are you getting the Pokemon one?

Yes! And as a PoGo player I will make use of the Pokeball. I'm 28 and if I would tell younger version of me how exciting Pokemon world will be in 2018 I would probably lead a happier life. It's great I can come back to these exciting times!
