Nintendo and The Pokemon Company have announced a special opportunity to try out Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee. Starting today in Los Angeles with multi-platinum recording artist, actress and Pokemon fan Jordin Sparks, fans will be able to play the upcoming games in select locations leading up to the November 16 launch.

Aside from a playable demo, the pop-up tour will feature Pikachu- and Eevee-themed trucks, fun photo opportunities, special giveaways (while supplies last), a chance to go hands-on with the Poke Ball Plus, and an exclusive Pokemon Snapchat filter. Pokemon GO players may even encounter a higher frequency of Pikachu and Eevee sightings near the events.

A “playable tour” in Japan will allow players to demo the Let’s Go games throughout the country during a tour starting on October 6. Here are from details courtesy of Serebii.net.

A small playable tour for Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! & Let’s Go, Eevee! have been announced for Japan. This will run on October 6th, 13th and 14th with more dates being announced on October 5th. These are taking place in various stores in Tohoku, Kanto, Tokai, Kansai, Chugoku and Shikoku regions and will offer the playable demo in Viridian Forest, slightly different to the ones played elsewhere, as well as a meet with the Pikachu & Eevee mascots

There’s been some uncertainty surrounding Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee regarding motion controls. It was previously thought that you’d need to physically move your Switch system around in handheld mode to catch Pokemon. However, this isn’t entirely true.

IGN obtained a statement from Nintendo which states that motion controls or physical gestures aren’t needed when playing in handheld mode. The full note reads:

Polygon recently spoke to longtime Pokemon developer Junichi Masuda about the early days of the franchise’s development. During the interview, Masuda recalled one interesting story about how all work on the original games was nearly lost.

According to Masuda, a computer crash almost caused everything Game Freak had done on the project to vanish. The PC had all of the game data, Pokemon, and more. Masuda eventually figured out how to get back what was thought to be lost, but if he hadn’t, there could have been a massive setback that the team may not have been able to recover from.

A new screenshot for Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! (and maybe Let’s Go, Pikachu!) was just released, which you can see below. It doesn’t convey much about the game, but it will make for a nice profile picture if you want to update yours.
