A couple people have asked me to piece together all the confirmed information about the recently announced Pokemon Let’s Go! Pikachu and Pokemon Let’s Go! Eevee. I’ll probably be editing this list as more information is made available.

All of the confirmed information comes from Gamefreak/Nintendo themselves or trusted sources that were watching the conference or participated in the Q&A held after the conference.

Sources: Serebii, Eurogamer, Nakamura, Suriel

A majority of the information comes from last night’s Pokemon conference which you can watch here.
