Return to the beloved Kanto region and relive a classic Pokémon journey reimagined for Nintendo Switch, with Pikachu as your ever-present partner riding on your shoulder throughout the adventure. Catching Pokémon takes on a whole new feel here, blending the series' turn-based roots with simple, motion-based capture mechanics that make every encounter in the tall grass feel fresh, whether you're playing docked or with Joy-Con motion controls in handheld mode.
Beyond catching and battling, you can dress up your character and Pikachu in matching outfits, bond with your partner through playful interactions, and even hop on the back of Pokémon like Onix or Arcanine to explore Kanto in a whole new way. The game also connects directly with Pokémon GO, letting you transfer creatures you've caught out in the real world into your Switch adventure and unlock exclusive content along the way.
