And it looks like I'm not done playing Pokemon Yellow remakes... except this one is a little different.

Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu GBA was made by Kevin Pokefan, and here I'm playing version 6.0 as the more recently released 7.0 has yet to be translated into English.

And honestly, so much of English 6.0 is in the same boat, especially after a certain point in the story, almost none of it is in English.

But honestly, that's fine. I still finished it regardless. Had to use some cheats to walk through arbitrary walls that I just could not figure out, but still finished it.

The game is obviously an attempted GBA demake of Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu for Nintendo Switch, and aims to be as faithful as possible... with more than a few exceptions.

The sprites are custom Generation 4 sprites, and you have over-world sprites for just about every Pokemon in the game. Including this fun main character sprite where Pikachu, the lazy rat, just sits on the trainers hat 24/7.

Freeloading electric mouse.

The Pokemon run around in the over-world, not in wild grass, except for a few sections here and there, making the game really more fun and navigable.

Sure, it takes the randomness out of catching wild Pokemon, but I found it really made my playthrough much better and less tedious.

It really allowed me to build a team that I wanted, as I quickly could see all of the wild pokemon available to catch in each route.

Sure there's slowdown when there's a crap load of Pokemon on screen at once, but it's honestly never that bad.

Obviously I stuck with Pikachu, randomly found some starters in the PC box, so I used an Intelion, a shiny Muk, a Corviknight, a Gardevoir, and a Primeape.

And yes, you did notice that right, there's way more than just the original 151 Pokemon in this rom hack, going all the way up to Generation 8.
