Hands-On Experience with Handheld Mode - Pokemon Let's go Pikachu and Eevee

you need to open the menu to play with pikachu or eevee
well, this comment is 4 years late

Handheld plays just like how the PKMN games play since DS.
Outside of catching.

How do u use or deactivate assistant trainer in handheld mode? I'm stuck...

I still want a let’s go, Johto basically a silver gold and Crystal remake and before everybody says 3/80 remain those games till silver in heart gold they pretty much already remain the Kanto games twice now

I didn’t even know you could shake the joy con to interact with your partner Pokemon till just now, I always went to the menu and selected their head icon.

I don’t even have a switch and I know that you have to go in the menu and click the button to play with pikachu lol

Press x then go to play with pikachu and eevee

I like hand held mode better because of the motion control. Whenever I have it in dock mode I’ll throw it right down the middle and the ball will fling some other direction. Plus when I’m navigating through a city I can use my left analog stick rather than using just the right joy con all together. Recently bought this game and an 8bitdo controller thinking that would be awesome to use since it has motion control but, nope. Bummer me out a bit. That’s life. Keep up the awesome videos, look forward to seeing the notification saying there’s a new video out.

If next part will have the same system of catching im not buying it, old way is the only way

How do you select handheld mode in the menu though?

i like how he didn't see the giant ass button that says "play with pikachu"

Gonna say some things just in case, for some reason, people haven't played the game yet. In docked mode, there are some extra options, mostly involved with shaking the joy-con. In battle, you can shake your remote while your partner pokemon is out to get some super powerful move (Veevee Volley or Pika Papow), the power I think depending on friendship, either that or how much you play with it. If your partner pokemon isn't out, you can shake the joy-con to boost every single stat while in battle. I'm not sure how often it regenerates, but usually, after I play with the partner pokemon some, it comes back. And, while in the overworld, you can shake your joy-con to have a shortcut to play with your partner pokemon. You can also use two joy-cons at once while catching a Pokemon and throwing the pokeballs at the same time to get extra exp and a higher chance of catching the pokemon. All of these things can be done as long as the joy-cons are disconnected from the switch. If you're going out of town and aren't bringing the dock, you can still do all of this, just get a stand for it. Most of the aforementioned things you can't do in handheld mode with the joy-cons attached, but, if you want to play with your partner pokemon, just click on the Pikachu/Eevee head on your menu. It stands out my not only being above the other options, it's also, by far, the largest button on the menu. In hand-held mode, you can use the touch screen to play with your partner, and if you use 2 fingers and rub it's head, you can change its hair style. This is the only thing you can do in hand-held mode that you can't do in dock mode.

Is it just me or i want it in mobile?

Hand held is much easier for me

Of course it's hard. Pokemon was originally made for handheld device/devices... what?

Can I have that white Switch skin?

I just notice that I have the same gameboy advance as you well it looks like it

I like how your intro changes when it’s different games

I have tried play with Pokémon let’s go, it had some glitches by when in tilting mode to throw ball, I hold my switch still and it went tilting up and down by itself also when I use left joycon, my character walking by himself when I stop moving the circle analog for no reason. So technically handheld mode isn’t good with Pokémon let’s go

Ik this is late but, his switch is lookin sleek with dem colours 👌🏻

I only play in handheld, I’ve been playing Pokémon on the go since the 90s

i want this, but it's came out too close to smash and that will take up all my time lol

I play h field just because I play literally every game in hand held, and when you first enter a battle, most Pokemon that don't move much you're already set perfectly in the middle, I can get am excellent every time, and if it's not in center usually I just have to aim up a tiny bit

Should o get this as my first game on christams

I like some of your videos but you should probably do research before making videos. You’ve literally given so much misinformation in this video.

I’m having an issue where when I move the left joy stick I can’t make my character to run instead he’s stuck in a walking animation whenever he walks up and down please someone HELP

Use the touch screen idiot lol

Handheld is by far the best way to play.

Handheld is a great way to play. You have alot more control throwing pokeballs imo. :)

Handheld easier is far more easier to capture and their only used gyro mode.

Handheld mode is the only way to change your partner pokemon's hairstyle. :)

Buttons, not “Buddens” lmao

Can you use the pro controlller with it

You can press a to confirm and b to cancel as well as the left stick to move your view when catching

In handheld mode, playing with Pikachu/Eevee means touching your screen and literally interacting with your partner. Also glad you found out about the always on motion detection being a benefit to catching pokemon... if only you didn't make it seem so hard because you're having trouble Austin. Also, I do play half and half because I like the variety and experience, including playing with the pokeball as my joycon.

Why there isn't a video that go over how to use both joycon to throw 2 ball.

To interact in handheld mode with your partner hit x save options comes up click up to play with eevee/pikachu and techniques are on the side :). Also I feel like throwing poke balls are easy 😂

SCREW BO4, LET'S GO IS THE BEST WAY TO GO!!!!!

Being perfectly in the center is really easy, either you just click get ready and keep it there, or you use the charging port to aim. If you have the cable plugged in then you almost have a crosshair

Can someone help me here? I'm having a serious issue. I can't launch Pokémon Let's Go Eevee without an internet connection but I can play the game without internet connection. Is that a problem with other people?

you can go to the menu screen to play with pikachu

Motion controls ruin games. End of story.

Pokeball throwing simulator

Why isn't there a swipe mode on the touch screen. Doesn't anyone remember that the original mobile game was on your touch screen! I mean how hard could that have been!?

This has been the way I've played it 100% of the time thus far hah. Was actually just thinking how it would be nice to play it on my TV later tonight.

lol handheld is infinitely better than single joycon controls. I’m not sure what this video is even trying to say.

Damn .. How could u miss the literal button in the menu which takes off 2/3's of the screen .. also i like catching pokemon in handheld alot more, cause it has alot less rng in it.. you just look at the pokemon and press A, while in joycon mode the ball just sometimes flies off to the site

I'm having no issues in handheld, catching Pokémon is easy, to play with Pikachu is in the menu...

You need to press X to go to menu then click on the picture of Pikachu or Eevee to interact with your partner when in handheld mode 👍🏼
