Pokemon: Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee adds Mega Evolutions, Vermillion City, and Team Rocket in new trailer

It looks like Pokemon fans will get the chance to revisit some of the franchise’s most iconic places and people in Pokemon: Let’s Go Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let’s Go Eevee!. A new trailer has revealed that Mega Evolutions, Vermillion City, and Team Rocket will all be included in the upcoming Switch games…

Don’t Just Evolve… Mega Evolve
In Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee!, players will be able to Mega Evolve a Pokemon once per battle if they have a Key Stone and the Mega Stone corresponding to that specific Pokemon. Mega Evolution, known as “the Evolution that transcends Evolution,” momentarily unleashes the energy within a Pokemon and can only be accomplished when a strong bond exists between the Pokemon and its Trainer. The first three Pokemon that fans will be able to Mega Evolve during their adventure will be Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise.

Explore Iconic Kanto Region Location Vermilion City
Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! will bring players to a variety of interesting locations in the Kanto region, including Vermilion City, where the luxury cruise liner the S.S. Anne docks once a year. In the Vermilion City Pokemon Gym, players can battle Gym Leader Lt. Surge, who is also known as the Lightning Lieutenant.

Here Comes Team Rocket!
Team Rocket, a nefarious organization set on using the world’s Pokemon in despicable plots to make money, is another example of the diverse cast of characters that players will encounter in Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! This includes the most famous members of Team Rocket—Jessie, James, and Meowth!

Pokemon: Let’s Go Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go Eevee will be released exclusively for the Nintendo Switch on November 16
