Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! are the first fully-fledged Pokémon games for the Nintendo Switch and perhaps the best way to explore the beloved Kanto region. Combining mechanics from the Pokémon GO mobile game with the story and design of the original games, these games are a nostalgic feast for veteran Pokémon fans and are a terrific way for newcomers to the franchise to ease into the series. There’s a lot to love in this beautiful Pokémon adventure. In fact, there’s so much going on in these new games that it’s easy to miss some fun content and winks to longtime fans of the series. Moreover, there are some interesting pieces of trivia about the games themselves that make them unlike any other entry in the series. It’s totally understandable if you didn’t catch some of this content during your playthrough, though, as these games realize the world of Pokémon better than an🌳y other and it’s easy to miss smaller details under so much flash and fanfare.

With the Pokémon Let’s Go games gaining so much mainstream attention, hopefully, subsequent Pokémon games will have just as much hidden content and be as celebrated as these most recent games. Although, any game with as much mechanical depth as previous titles and graphics of the Pokémon Let’s Go titles is sure to be a hit with the Pokémon fandom. So, with that said, here are 30 things that even some of the most veteran Pokémon fans missed in the Pokémon Let’s Go games.

30 B🥀laine’s Tie Is Singed

The seventh gym leader in Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! is the fiery quiz master Blaine. He uses fire-type Pokémon exclusively and, as his ti൩tle suggests, is a bit of an eccentric.

A small, but fun, detail in his design in the🐎se games is that his fire print tie is actually singed towards its end. This little detail really helps further his character as an over-the-top brainiac and is perfectly fitting for a guy who makes people explore a dilapidated laboratory before they♛ can challenge him.

29 🧔 Lt. Surge’s Autograph Is In Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon 🍰

After defeating the way-into-himself army guy, Lt. Surge gives you his autograph in addition to his gym badge. While this action helps further establish his character, it's also a reference to the Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon games.

In these previous titles, the protagonist will have the same autograph in their bedroom when they begin their adventure. It could be that the player characters of Pokémon Let’s Go are meant to be the same p🅺rotagonists of the previous games, although it’s hard to say for sure.

28 Dratini And Dragonair Float ✨

This bit of information is easier to spot if you decide to add a Dratini or Drag🗹onair to your party, but totally missable if you don’t decide to train the dragon-type monsters. Both of these Dragon Pokémon float through the air when taken out of their Pokéball, despite neither of them having a flying tyܫpe or ever possessing the Levitate ability.

They are usually only found in the wa♔ter, though, and are described as creatures of legend in the games, so maybe their ability to swim through the air plays into their magical status.

27 These Are The First Remakes Of An💎 Enhanced Pokémon Ga🌺me

Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! are technically remakes of Pokémon Yellow, which was an enhanced, special edition of Pokémon Red and Blue that added elements from the incredibly popular Pokémon anime.

While other games have gotten remakes, they were always remakes of the base set of games. The Pokémon Let’s Go games are the first remakes to be based on the final installment of a generation of games. Hopefully, this trend continues and we get a “Pokémon Let’s Go To Johto” based on Pokémon Crystal in the future.

26 🃏 Red And Blue Have Totally New Teams 🌜

In the Pokémon Let’s Go games, a player can battle the protagonist and rival from the first generation of Pokémon games. Named Red and Blue, respectively, it’s interesting to note that they have completely ne🌟w teams from any other iteration of the charactersꦉ.

This is a pretty fun change-up and, while the two are n🐭o less challenging than when they’re battled in other games, it’s unexpected that their parties would change after having basically the same pool of monsters for nearly two decades.

25 𒉰 New Pokémon Locations Make Progression Easier

Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! change up when and where a player can encounter and capture certain wild Pokémon. For instance, Oddish and Bellsprout are now obtainable before reaching the first gym, where in previous games, you couldn't find them until ♒well after.

As grass-type moves are super effective on the first gym’s rock-type monsters, this makes getting through the firstಞ gym much easier than in the original games, and this trend of easier progression is true for the entirety of these♊ new games.

24 🐲 The Safari Zone Is Technically Still In These Games

While the Safari Zone (an area where you can only catch and not battle wild Pokémon) is removed from the Let’s Go games, an area called the Safari Zone still exists. What was formerly a zoo in Fuchsia City in the original Pokémon games is now known as the Safari Zone.

Granted, you can✅’t catch any of these Pokémon, and the change in gameplay that the Safari Zone brought is missing from these latest games, but there is technically ♒a Safari Zone in these latest titles.

23 Starter Pokémon Are Gifted And Fou♛nd In T𓆏he Wild

There are two ways a player can catch the original starter Pokémon, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle in the Pokémon Let’s Go games. These♛ monsters are given away as gift Pokémon and are found in ways that mirror how Ash obtained them in the anime.

However, unlike a🌃ny other game, these starter monsters are found in the wild as rare encounters. Generally, it’s a better idea to just take the gift version of these monsters as they have nearly perfect stats, but players can still hunt down the a🍸bsolute best version of these creatures in the wild if they so choose.

22 Most Gym Leader Designs Are Based On FireRed And Le🤪afGreen

While most gym leader designs in the Pokémon Let’s Go games are slightly different from any other interpretation of the characters, most of them draw heavy inspiration from their Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen designs.

Brock is wearing an almost identical outfit to the one he wore in the third generation and Sabrina’s purple-burgundy attire most closely resembles her third generation color scheme. Since FireRed and LeafGreen are also remakes of the original Pokémon games, it makes sense that 🌸the character designs would be 𒅌rather similar.

21 Kangaskꦐhan Spawns In the Rock Tunnel

Previously, the rare monster Kangaskhan could only appear in the Safari Zone in the first generation of Pokémon games. However, since this area doesn’t let players capture Pokémon in Pokémon Let’s Go, the powerful normal-type monster appears in the dimly lit Rock Tunnel inste♎ad.

Unfortunat🦂ely, she only has a one percent chance of spawning, so players will need to commit a good deal of time to ꧅catching this monster. Longtime fans of the series will also notice that this is where Kangaskhan appeared in the second generation of games.
