Let's Go LGPE Pokémon Bank Support

Borie Broer · Jun 6, 2018

So with Game Freak being so keen on only including Gen 1 Pokémon in LGPE, not even including evolutions introduced in later gens unlike HGSS/ORAS, do you think they'll allow us to transfer all of our Pokémon from Pokémon Bank to Let's go Pikachu/Eevee?

The idea that we might not be able to really frightens me as I was always looking forward to using newer Pokémon if I ever were to go through Kanto again.
What I've always loved about remakes is how they update older regions and make them compatible with the current gen games.

Before these games were announced I would assume every remake would be like previous ones, but after this game's announcement I'm just feeling so unsure.

FRLG also limited what you could use, not allowing you to evolve Golbat into Crobat for example, but you could still do so after getting the national dex and you could trade with RSE/C/XD.

But LGPE doesn't have another game on the Switch to trade with, so compatibility with Bank would be the only other way to get Gen 2+ Pokémon here.

What do all of you think?

I don't think they will to be honest since the core RPG game everyone have been screaming for is coming next year which will most likely get that, and since only the first generation and a handful of Alolan forms will be in Let's Go I can't really see it getting bank access when is meant to work with the mobile game for transfer iirc.
