Pokémon: Let's Go

[Geoffrey]

I'll probably get the game anyways, just to see how it is and get answers to my questions. I'll get Pikachu because I'd want to evolve Eevee and if that's not possible... Eevee's cute but meh for anything else.  This give me a reason to get a Switch anyways, try other games, and be ready for the main-line Pokemon RPG coming next year.

You can evolve an Eevee that you capture, just not the one that rides on you. But you can have a Pokemon following you, so you could have Pikachu/Eevee and your evolved Eevee out at the same time when travelling.

This is good news. I like the idea of having an Eevee on my shoulder and a Jolteon behind me.  This changes things lol.

I think I could maybe even get used to not battling random encounters. I just want to see, like I said, how hard it is to get a successful catch late-game with high-level or rare Pokemon if I'm not able to weaken them.
