Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee director Junichi Masuda has commented on the game’s visuals.
According to Masuda, the team wanted to make the graphics approachable – especially for parents. He explained that he “didn’t want to make it a game that would cause parents to feel mistrustful of our games.” Game Freak also “didn’t want it to look scary.” This is partially why the team went about making character proportions “look a bit childish”.

First, a “Spicy” mode is confirmed for Travis Strikes Again. It’ll be distributed as a free patch later on. After clearing “Sweet”, “Mild”, or “Bitter” modes, you can access “Spicy” which is said to be very difficult. On the bright side, you’ll be able to carry over items into this mode. However, even with them, it’ll pose a significant challenge.
