Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! & Let's Go, Eevee! Coverage Day 2
It's Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! & Let's Go, Eevee!'s launch day. As such, our usual discoveries have begun. As usual, I'll be posting the main focal points here, while more in-depth details go on the discovery thread on the forums (including some details I won't post here). If you want to remain unspoiled, do not click the spoiler tag, nor visit the Let's Go, Pikachu! & Eevee! section until you have your game. Don't worry as blatant spoilers will NOT be on the home page.
