Pokémon Let’s Go File Size Revealed Ahead of Nintendo Switch Release

Nintendo Switch fans can now uncover vital details about the much-anticipated Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let’s Go, Eevee! as both titles become available for pre-load on the Nintendo eShop across multiple regions.

One of the most sought-after technical details—the official file size—has now been confirmed on the digital storefront, revealing that each adventure through the Kanto region requires 4.1 GB of storage space.

Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let’s Go, Eevee! mark the return of the beloved Kanto region, faithfully adapting the classic gameplay of 1998’s Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition.

Developed by Game Freak and published by The Pokémon Company, these Nintendo Switch exclusives reimagine a fan-favorite storyline with vibrant HD visuals and accessible gameplay tailored to new and returning trainers alike.

Depending on the chosen version, players will be accompanied by either Pikachu or Eevee, who proudly sit on the trainer’s shoulder or head throughout their journey. A highlight of these titles is the integration of familiar motion controls via the Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Con.

Players can mimic the throwing of a Poké Ball with a simple swing of their controller, bringing the popular catching mechanics of Pokémon GO to the console.

This intuitive feature not only enhances immersion but also appeals to a broad audience, bridging the gap between mobile and console Pokémon experiences. Additionally, both titles offer local co-operative play, enabling two players to share Joy-Con controllers and embark on their Kanto quest together.

Double the trainers means double the excitement, with partners able to catch Pokémon and engage in battles as a team—a notable evolution in the series’ approach to multiplayer interactions on home consoles. According to the official information listed on the Nintendo eShop, fans eager to jump into this nostalgia-filled adventure can start their download now to ensure immediate access at launch.

Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let’s Go, Eevee! are set for an exclusive worldwide release on Nintendo Switch starting November 16.

Their blend of classic exploration, reimagined mechanics, and engaging co-op play positions them as major entries in the storied Pokémon franchise, both for series veterans and newcomers. With a manageable file size of 4.1 GB, accessible pre-loading, and the innovative use of Joy-Con controls, Pokémon Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let’s Go, Eevee! promise a fresh yet faithful return to the region that started it all.
