Take a Pokémon journey to the Kanto region with your partner,
Pikachu! Become the best Pokémon Trainer as you battle other Trainers,
Gym Leaders, and the sinister Team Rocket. Catch Pokémon in the wild
using a gentle throwing motion with either a Joy-Con controller or a
Poké Ball Plus accessory, which will light up, vibrate, and make sounds
to bring your adventure to life. You can also use button controls in
Handheld Mode. Share your adventure with family or friends using a
second Joy-Con or Poké Ball Plus (sold separately). You can even connect
to the Pokémon GO app* using a compatible smartphone to bring over
Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region!
Explore
the vibrant region of Kanto—home to beloved characters like Brock,
Misty, and the nefarious trio Jessie, James, and Meowth! Throughout the
story, your bond with your partner Pokémon grows stronger as you care
for it and travel together. See the world in style by customizing
Pikachu and your Trainer with a selection of outfits. True-to-size wild
Pokémon roam around in the game—catch them like a real Pokémon Trainer
by using timing and a well-placed Poké Ball. Battle and trade with other
players who own the game via local wireless or online**. Go on a stroll
with your favorite Pokémon in your Poké Ball Plus to level them up, and
to receive in-game rewards after returning them to the game.
