It’s only a few months until Pokémon Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee come to Switch, and today we got another peek(achu) at the games.
One of the main selling points of Let’s Go is players will be able to transfer their Pokémon from Pokémon Go into the new games. These Pokémon will be kept in Go Parks, and according to the press release, there will be 20 of these parks within a larger Go Park complex outside Fuchsia City (site of the Safari Zone in the original games). Each Go Park can hold 50 Pokémon, meaning you can hold up to 1000 PoGo critters in Let’s Go at any one time.
But it won’t be as simple as an old-school migration. In a Q&A with Junichi Masuda, the director confirmed PoGo Pokémon will not “go straight into your collection” and will need to be caught within the complex.
