You missed one difference at least, and I haven't even played yet--the custom outfits! That's what made the decision for me in the end, as the Eevee version gets so many more outfits (one for each Eeveelution) from the Pokefan club.
Yeah I noticed this after I beat the game. I had seen pictures of the Eeveelution outfits on Twitter and was so excited to get myself the Umbreon outfit. Was so dissapointed to learn Pikachu version didn't get those and only got *one* outfit set instead of the *eight* Eevee version gets :/
See the sad part is that I had multiple recording because I had a hard time saying "Version exclusive" and these turned out to be the best ones haha 😅😂
I'm surprised that Pikachu sell out more than Eevee. When I was little I was obsessed with pikachu. Now that I'm older I'm into Eevee. I bought the game Pokemon let's go Eevee. Haven't got a Nintendo switch yet but I will buy it in December. Can't wait. Eevee needs more love. Not that I hate Pikachu but its to overrated.
I just bought the Pokèball Plus and Game Bundle, I forgot which version I was getting tho which was Pikachu, so I'm gonna pick up the Eevee version soon
@@swishpalace1689 Actually you can evolve your starter. Idk about Eevee specifically tho because it let me evolve my Pikachu into a Raichu when I got a Thunderstone from the Celadon City Department Store
I think Eevee is the essence of Pokemon trainers. I feel like eevee is a metaphor about choosing your own pathway because of the many evolution forms it comes. It makes each trainer unique in how they want to play the game.
Pokemon Let's Go could have some improvements but it did some things right. *Things to keep for future games:* Pokemon roaming around and you can see them Pokemon following you No hms RENAMING RIVAL *Things to change in future games :* No more Pokemon go mechanics No friendly rival Make game corner into an arcade you can play
Arcade is the only thing I can really agree with. I really don't mind the Go mechanics, and done right and tweaked could spice up the core series. The rival being friendly doesnt bother me as much as the rival being easy to defeat. Hau was alright, it was just a let down that he chooses the Pokemon that is weak to your own. The Game Corner, as far as Ive played, was a bit of a let down because it appears you can't play any of the games. While disappointing, it makes since because this is a game trying to appeal to the current generation of youths.
@@gukeoke6312 a sealed let’s go Eevee will be worth at least $120 in the future, imagine how much a sealed Let’s Go Pikachu will be worth. I don’t sell my physical copies because I like to collect them but it’s a great market. Soon physical copies will completely die out and the games we’re playing now will become retro.
Well by the looks of it... It looks like Jessie and James chose to play Let's GO Eevee 😋 EDIT: For those of you that are wondering I'm going to be playing Pokemon Let's GO Pikachu but I do plan on getting Let's GO Eevee in the near future as well :)
@@nickdentoom1173 it's a tough one. i don't reckon it would be another baby because there's too many. togepi, smoochum, elekid, pichu, magby, cleffa, igglybuff, tyrogue, azurill... i thought maybe snubbull or pineco haha
They could release a let's go clefairy and let's go Marill. Yet the Let's go Johto titles will have held items, but I don't think they'll add abilities until the let's go Hoen titles.
Why is version exculsive a thing anyway... I swear it seems like its whole purpose is to annoy us. Can u imagine an 8 year old buying lets go eevee and dreaming about catching that scyther just to find out he cant catch it just because he bought the wrong version? The fact that you cant complete the pokedex by yourself is so absurd to me.
it was a new and amazing feature in the past when pokemon first came out. u connected gameboys w a cable and exchanged pokemon w a friend. the most exciting part was actually interacting and changing pokemon w another person and not rly all about completing the pokedex
Yes as Legendseokjin said, with the first Pokemon Gameboy versions, the link cable became popular so they used to the split of two versions to encourage people to connect their games with friends to get pokemon from other versions and to trade pokemon that can only evolve through trading. It made pokemon into something you dont wanna play alone but with your friends on the school yard.
I feel like if I ever got a starter Eevee, I would keep it as an Eevee forever, but then go out of my way to make an Eeveelution Team. If that meant catching Wild Eevee's and evolving them, or just catching the wild evolved form.
Both Eevee and Pikachu are available to catch in the wild (Pikachu is there in the earliest section of the game) and can evolve. I had all eeveelutions within about seven minutes of using a lure at Eevee's spawn location. I have a Raichu too. In fact Pikachu spawned immediately for me. Kantonian starters are available in the wild too.
Sonny You can easily get Arcanine in Let’s Go Eevee early in the game and if you play Go, rn there’s a field research to get Scyther so you can transfer some to Let’s Go ;-;) that’s what I plan to do since Eevee is life 😭
if you talk whit the guy in the citty where lt surge is you can get a persian there as well if you chose the little dog pokemon he actually gives you the opposite evolution whit some nice iv's :p
There also exclusive clothing items for you snd your starter depending on what version you got, eevee version has A LOT more clothing than the pikachu version. You get outfit(s) for your starter’s evolution(s), since eevee has MANY MORE evolutions, you get MUCH MORE clothing for you and eevee.
I didn’t know about the version exclusive Pokemon before I bought Let’s Go Eevee. However, I was EXTREMELY lucky that’s I chose it. This is because I had all of the version exclusive pre-evolution Pokemon from Let’s a Go Pikachu in Pokemon Go completely by coincidence! I was so happy about this since I’m almost done with my dex now!!
Thank you for this I didn’t know Pikachu actually got some extra moves like that and I thought that maybe the Eevee version was better even though I preferred Pikachu but now I feel ok about it all
I got the Eevee version, for some reason I always get the game without Oddish. My Leafgreen game wasn't the same, I must always have all the grass pokemon. The hard part was the cables you had to use to trade hadn't worked since gen 1.
I already have let’s go eevee, so I just watched this to see what Pokémon I couldn’t get and when I saw growlithe and oddish on the list I was like “oooooh...that’s why I don’t see it in the wild.” Because I’ve been looking for them for so long, same with the other Pokémon on the list.
I knew from announcement that I wanted Let’s Go Eevee. But I wasn’t sure which Pokémon were version exclusives, so I was unable to create a team. Using the info, I now can come up with a team.
I can't decide. I don't even have a Switch and I still can't decide. On one hand I love Pikachu, it's nostalgic love but I still absolutely love this mascot. I also absolutely love Syther no matter what so that's a plus. On the other hand I personally like Eevee a lot more because of the cute design and how I can also picture it being able to rip my face off if it really wanted to. Ekans is also a big plus, and I have multiple Sythers in my Pokemon go. But even though all of that I'm torn between these games.
In my personal opinion you should choose Eevee as you can still get Scyther and nostalgia shouldn’t block your actual opinion on the Pokémon themselves
Imo, i would choose Pikachu, since Eevee is even more dumb down than Pikachu, because of all the Elemental Moves (Its basically the Lets Go Babyversion compared to Pikachu).
I bought Let's Go Pikachu for myself when I got a Switch in summer 2021, then I got Eevee for Xmas. I think Let's Go Eevee is a bit better, but they are both similar games obviously. I really wish the games had the Sevii Islands like Firered and Leafgreen did. I understand these are basically remakes or w/e of Yellow, but I still would have liked to travel to islands in the post-game, seeing them in 3D.
Let's go eevee seems to be an even babier version with all those 90 base power moves and guaranteed status inflictions. Jesus, how much more do you need
@@ayzix-polytopia3854 Eevee can evolve into anythinh, name it; Vapoeron, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon and Sylveon and more coming, while Pikachu just has Raichu. And I finds Eevee more adorable.
@@projectcolliesonicseevee3771 I'm sorry to tell you that you can't evolve your starter,before the game came out I thought that the starters can evolve and that's why I chose Eevee,but when the game came out I found out that the staters can't evolve,but I'm still going to choose Eeve because of the exclusive Pokémon
I'm chossing pikachu when I can buy it probably tomorrow bcs my mom said to me that whe will get the gift tomorrow bcs my school has a day off atleat on this year and I will choose pikachu bcs different Pokémon and I actually like them both equally as Pokémon so what made me choose where the different pokemon
the special moves are unique to the partner you get at the start right? meaning you can't catch another Pikachu or Eevee and teach it those moves am i right?
And if you have both games, get what Pokémon you can get on both games, and ONLY that game, then you might have a complete Pokédex by combining the two. Hope this helps!
I bought Pikachu 3 years ago and have never played it since. I bought because Pikachu used to be my favourite Pokémon and and I started to regret it after watching this. But my favourite Pokémon (Muk don’t judge) is a version exclusive. And I don’t really get Nintendo Online to trade that much but now Pokémon Home is a thing.
FINALLY! THANK YOU! I NEEDED SOMEONE TO MAKE A VIDEO OF THIS! NO ONE MADE A VIDEO LIKE THIS YET! THANK YOU SO MUCH! (Perfect timing too cuz I was going to buy the game today and I needed it) thx!
SilkyGames OMG BRO!!!! I'm RELATING sooo hard to you and the other people in the comments right now and just based around Ninetales this is the hardest discision ever!!
I think im going to choose let's go pikachu, i wanted let's go eevee but the version exclusives for let's go pikachu are so much better for me in my opinion.
NoooooOoooOooooooo I can’t have Eevee and Geowlith I like Eevee better but Sycther and Growlith are in Pikachu ....... Wait did he just say I can still ride my majestic fire doggo....YEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!
pippa baker yeah but sadly if you get Let’s Go Eevee you can’t get a shiny Growlithe. Which I really want but I also really want a shiny vulpix to evolve into a shiny ninetales. I’m Torn. Btw I don’t have Shiny Growlithe nor Shiny Vulpix in Pokemon Go so I cant transfer them.
I was right to pick Let's Go Eevee. The Eevee movepool is so diverse making it easy to plan for what type of move coverage you need. But Eevee is not particularly tanky.
I ended up with let's go Pikachu, and the switch which I got for Christmas,the day after Christmas I got smash bros ultimate and sonic forces, and a smart tv, then my mom moved my switch to my room.
I chose Eevee because when I played Pokemon Yellow back in the 90s, when I saw Blue get Eevee I was like "NOOOO!" I disliked Pikachu soon after for his (at the time) horrible moveset. He was cute enough though.
I think the biggest differences come from what you can do with other switch Pokémon games. For example if you have a let’s go eevee save file on your switch you can get a Mew in BDSP from someone in floroma town. If you have let’s go pikachu you can get a jirachi. So that helped me choose let’s go eevee lol
Sad that growlithe was let’s go pikachu exclusive (sans late game transfer or the free arcanine you can get) he’s one of my favorite Pokémon. I got let’s go eevee cause i’d choose eevee over pikachu anytime
So I know I’m late to the party and it’s a noob question… but does one of the other have all 151 Pokémon available to catch or are you saying that you have to trade or use GO to complete your Pokédex? I havnt played a Pokémon game since game boy but I can’t remember how it works. I mean by what your saying, I won’t be able to see all or finish my Pokédex if I just have let’s go pikachu. Guess I should ask wtf is version exclusive?
Natasja van Driel. if it helps evee has more outfits to choose from, apparently has an outfit for each eveeluion. And you can't get rid of or evolve either of them. I'm having trouble deciding as well because I've been watching people play it and I need that Pokemon itch to be scratched until sword and shield
I personally like both but I bought eevee because I always used Pikachu and never gave eevee a chance. I also like the look of eevee better, so I bought lets go eevee
I had no idea ekans, koffing, and pinsir were exclusives to lets go eevee! Ive been thinking I had all the exclusives when I traded for bellsprout, meowth, and vulpix.
When I catch all the Pokemon in only let’s go pikachu, I will leave a comment on a random Pokemon let’s go video and say, “Hey, does anyone have Bellsprout, Weepinbell, victreebel, ekans, Arbok, pinsir, koffing, weezing, meowth, and ninetails?” “I have 217 growlithes for whoever would like to trade with me. I would really appreciate it.”
