Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee just received a brand new trailer showing off the new Master Trainer feature. Watch it below.

In terms of popularity, Pokemon couldn’t be in a better place than it is right now. Pokemon GO created another surge for the franchise a few years ago while games on consoles continue to sell and the IP itself is known around the world.

Speaking with The Verge, Pokemon developer Junichi Masuda touched on the huge success of Pokemon GO, stating:

Eurogamer has come forward with its own interview for Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee. Once again, director Junichi Masuda and designer Kensaku Nabana have shared some comments about the new entry and other topics. They discussed the post-game Master Trainers, the handling of Meltan’s reveal, the possibility of an open-world game like Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and more.

We’ve rounded up some of the more notable excerpts from the interview below. Read the full discussion on Eurogamer here.

IGN published a new article today about Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee. It includes comments from director Junichi Masuda and lead game environment designer Kensaku Nabana.

Earlier today, Nintendo shared the latest trailer for Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee. The footage was mostly comprised of areas we’ve seen before, all bundled together and showcased in a single video. It’s more than just a compilation though as we’re able to get a look at some improvements.

In the video, fans have noticed that Pokemon: Let’s Go seems to have received a visual boost. Specifically, the lighting has improved over the past few months.

Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go Eevee are making things more accessible than usual. One way players will find an easier experience is by playing co-op.
