Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/ Let's Go Eevee was recently announced as a remake of the classic Pokémon Yellow title with updated graphics and features.
Nintendo briefly showed the title again today, showing off a few minor features such as different ways to capture Pokémon using the Joy-Con motion controls with mechanics similar to Pokémon Go but also confirming that you can capture 'Mon with a button press in handheld mode, using the Switch's gyro to aim.
While we know that wild encounters aren't as they were in Yellow and instead just focus on capturing, traditional fans will be glad to know that trainer battles play much more how you'd expect with classic battling gameplay.
You also don't have to go it alone, and can hire the help of your friends by tossing them a Joy-Con and giving it a good old shake to have them join the game.
Nintendo also went into a bit more detail about the new features we can expect from the Poké Ball Plus accessory and how it will work with the game.
You'll be able to transfer a Pokémon from your game onto the Poké Ball device and take it out for a walk (as well as hearing a little shriek when you give the ball a shake) - You'll also be able to trade Pokémon from the Pokémon Go app using the device.
Most interestingly though, the device will unlock the mythical Pokémon Mew when used with Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu or Pokémon Let's Go Eevee.
