  • Good afternoon, I was wondering if you could take Pokemon from the switch and send it into your smartphone and catch it there?
  • No, you won't be able to move Pokemon you've caught in Let's Go from your Switch to Pokemon Go on your smartphone unless you haven't "caught" them after receiving them from your smartphone in the first place. You will be able to move Pokemon you caught in Pokemon Go from your smartphone to Let's Go on your Switch.
  • Will you be able to be a girl in Let’s go Pikachu?
  • Yes. You will be able to pick your gender.
  • Has there been any talk of DLC? Seeing as how DLC has been so popular thus far on Switch, it seems like updates / additional content / DLC would be a given, but I'm kind of surprised it's not been hinted at yet.
  • It's possible, but I don't think it'll be offered right away. It's not common practice for Nintendo to put DLCs into Pokemon games, but it has been done with two previous Pokemon Switch titles, so it's definitely possible.
  • I can see that you don’t know what you’re talking about. You say they put DLC in two previous Pokemon Switch titles, but there has only been one Pokemon game on the switch before, Pokemon quest. In the article, you mention that Officer Jenny will probably be in the game, but she’s never been in anything despite the anime. Not to be rude, but please only include facts and not false information/assumptions.
  • There were two: Pokémon Quest and Pokken Tournament DX. And now, with Pokémon Let's Go, there are three.
