Curiosity gets the best of me the moment I’m given the Poké Ball Plus controller for my hands-on session with Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! The controller is small, roughly twice the size of a ping-pong ball, but holds well in the palm of my hand. There are just two buttons on the device, one of which I’m not supposed to touch. I do, because I have the patience of a child and must immediately press any button presented to me. This brings up the menu of the game and I’m asked not to press it again as there is something in there that isn’t being detailed just yet.
The only other button on the controller is the clickable thumbstick, and for Let’s Go, Pikachu!, this is all I need to see everything the demo has to offer. Actually, I wouldn’t call it a thumbstick. It, like the Poké Ball itself, is small. Perhaps “pinky stick” is a more fitting name as my thumb could easily crush this thing.
But I have big hands, and no doubt this device will find itself in hands much smaller than mine as Let’s Go is a wonderful introduction for younger gamers into the role-playing genre. It’s a mash-up of the wildly successful Pokémon Go and the traditional entries in the franchise, easily digestible by gamers of all skill levels. Along the route available in the demo, wild Pokémon can be clearly seen in the tall grass as various picnickers and backpackers stand by to challenge me.
