GN Version 5.0

The most recent issue of Famitsu featured an interview with Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee. Director Junichi Masuda. He talked about a ton of topics, including making a game that both parents and kids could enjoy. That goes hand-in-hand with the Pokemon GO connectivity for the game. You can see the full blurb on the topic below.

Right, for example, let’s say a parent and child go out to play Pokemon GO together. After they come home they can bring the Pokemon they caught in Pokemon GO over to the two Let’s Go games and continue playing together on the living room TV! That’s the kind of natural blend between Pokemon and the flow of everyday life that we considered over the course of the games’ development. It isn’t just about the experience of throwing a Pokeball but being able to play and experience Pokemon as a part of everyday life – I really wanted both fans of the mainline series and fans of Pokemon GO to be able to get a taste of that. Again – to put it frankly – we wanted to make a Pokemon game that all fans could enjoy.
