Last week the Nintendo Switch’s first major Pokémon games were announced, but they wasn’t exactly what fans were expecting. Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee! are more casual adventures designed to appeal fans of Pokémon Go. Catching critters has been simplified, and it seems like many of the series’ RPG elements will be been streamlined. Hardcore Pokemaniacs needn’t worry though, as a new, more traditional Pokémon is coming out in 2019.

It’s all a tad confusing, but it’s something we may have to get used to. In a recent interview with Eurogamer, Pokémon producer and director Junichi Masuda hinted the traditional Pokémon and Let’s Go series could continue in parallel.
