My son is about to turn 8, and I want to introduce him to the world of Pokémon since he already collects the cards. I’m looking for a Pokémon game on the Nintendo Switch that would be suitable for him. I’m considering ‘Let’s Go’ since it’s based on the classic games, but I’m not a fan of the catching mechanics. Any suggestions on what would be a good starting point?
1 Answer
If your son is new to gaming, I’d recommend ‘Let’s Go’! The catching mechanics work better in handheld mode, and it’s a more accessible introduction to Pokémon. However, it’s not perfect for co-op play. If he’s comfortable with video games, you might also want to look at ‘Sword’ or ‘Scarlet’, especially if you have a Switch 2.
