Explore the World of Pokémon: Let’s Go and Battling Gym Criteria

New info on gym battling and a new trailer on the world of Pokémon.

If you haven’t had enough fill of Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! & Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! then you are in luck. A new trailer has surfaced, showcasing on exploring the world of the upcoming Pokémon game for the Nintendo Switch. A lot of it is already seen material but who doesn’t enjoy watching those nostalgia clips of Professor Oak giving you your first Pokémon or riding on Charizard and other Pokémon across the Kanto region.

In case you missed it, entering gyms has been adjusted. According to Siliconera and the official Japanese website, trainers are required to meet certain criteria if they want to enter gyms in order to challenge the gym leader. Not all the gyms will have the same criteria but will request you to either have your Pokémon at a certain level, specific types (grass, water, etc.), and possibly more. Based on the graphic above, in order to challenge Brock’s gym you’ll either need a Grass-type or Water-type Pokémon with you. Is this a buzzkill? No. It literally gives players more reason to pay attention to the game than just run through the game.

You can revisit our previous article on the game’s trailers and additional details regarding exclusive Pokémon for each version. We also played a bit of the upcoming game at E3, fans should look forward on the improvement of the series.

Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee! come to Nintendo Switch on November 16, 2018.
