Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! & Let's Go, Eevee!
A new trailer has been released for Pokémon Let's Go. This trailer showcases the Pokémon GO connectivity with the game. It shows the transfer as well as the ability to play a mini-game to earn Candy
GO Park has 20 GO Parks each being able to hold 50 Pokémon meaning you can store up to 1,000 Pokémon in GO Park from Pokémon GO. There is no limit to the amount of Pokémon GO accounts you can connect to your savefile in Pokémon GO and this is done over Bluetooth. However, when a Pokémon has been transferred to Pokémon Let's Go, it cannot return to Pokémon GO and Pokémon GO Players get 1 Candy for that species, as if it had been transferred away.
In there, when you have 25 of the same species of Pokémon you can go to the Play Yard where you can play a mini-game to earn candy that can increase stats. This mini-game has you have to gather up all 25 of the Pokémon and get them to the goal, avoiding various Pokémon that can cause problems. In addition to the generic candy that focus on specific stats, there's unique candy to species of Pokémon.
It also showed the mechanics of Legendary Pokémon. As you battle them in the game, you need to knock them out first before the capture screen is prompted and there is a time limit to the battle.
It is also confirmed that there will be trainers from Alola in Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! & Let's Go, Eevee who will trade you Alola Form Pokémon.
