On what date were Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! released worldwide?

Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! were released worldwide on November 16, 2018.

The paired games were developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company for Nintendo Switch. They are remakes of Pokémon Yellow and use several catching ideas borrowed from Pokémon Go, including motion-based Poké Ball throwing and visible wild Pokémon in the environment.

The two versions differ mainly in their partner Pokémon: Pikachu is the featured partner in one version and Eevee in the other. Both games are set in the Kanto region and focus primarily on the original first-generation Pokémon, while also supporting connectivity with Pokémon Go.

Their release was significant because they brought a main-series Pokémon role-playing experience to Nintendo’s hybrid console. They were not the first Pokémon software released on Switch—Pokémon Quest arrived earlier—but they were the first main-series installments on the platform.
