Please note, Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee! is rated E for Everyone! Another thing that Pokémon Let's Go has changed from the past games is adding an option to play the game in 2-player mode. This means that if you're new to the games and want a little help or if you want a chance to experience Pokémon with someone else, you now can.
This is particularly helpful if you are a parent trying to get involved in your child's interests. 2-player mode gives you a front seat into the world of Pokémon. If you're a parent who grew up playing Pokémon, this can be a great way to bond with your child. The 2-player mode makes the game incredibly easy, so this could especially help younger children who might have trouble making it through he game on their own. What I love about this mode is it gives people a chance to bond, connect, and come closer together. In the end, that's what life is really about, and it is the core value of our faith.

Please note, Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee! is rated E for Everyone! One of the things I love most about Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee! is the respect your character always shows to both smaller Pokémon and children. Every time you talk with a tiny Pokémon or a child in the game, your character always leans down to meet the other's eye line. This is a huge sign of respect and an indication that your character is listening. In Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Jesus has conversations with His Disciples, telling them to Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs. Jesus lays out the importance of giving respect to children, and we should do the same. That's why I love that Pokémon Let's Go offers such great examples of respecting even the little ones in our midst, and I am so happy that this tread has continued with Pokémon Sword/Shield. Please note, Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee is rated E for Everyone! Pokémon has always been a great franchise with a good message. At the end of the first set of games, your character is told that he (later s/he) won thanks to his (later her/his) "trust and love" for his Pokémon and by working together with them. This is a great message, and one that we as Christians can get on board with. We are called to work together with one another, as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 12. It always bothered me, though, that togetherness and friendship only extended to your Pokémon (and really only in the later games when your Pokémon could gain happiness), not really to anyone else. Certainly not to your rival who was always trying to sneak up on you for a battle and had the catch phrase "Smell ya later!" One of the things I love about Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee is that all that has changed. Yes, you still battle your 'rival' from time to time. But now instead of just fighting each other, you're now friends. Your rival gives you tips, gifts, and helps you at key points of the story line. You're both working to "be the very best", but you're also working to build one another up too. There's been a shift in how your rival is viewed from the very first Pokémon games to Pokémon Let's Go. No longer is the rival a simple enemy, but now a friend. This trend has even continued in Pokémon Sword/Shield. Jesus calls us to change our perspective as well in Matthew 5 when He says "love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Pokémon gets it. Do you? |
