The Pokemon Company clarifies plans for online in Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee once and for all

Since Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee were unveiled earlier in the week, there’s been confusion as to what online features – if any – would be included in the games. Famitsu has finally received clarification straight from The Pokemon Company.
