"Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!" and "Let's Go, Eevee!" let you choose your gender and skin color, a big change from the original protagonist of "Pokémon: Yellow."
The main character's room has been updated to match the times, complete with a current Nintendo console.
Pokémon battles are now fully 3D, letting you see the trainer and their Pokémon from all angles during the fight.
Outdoor environments like Viridian Forest have a totally new atmosphere, especially since you can see Pokémon running around in the wild.
The game's Pokémon Gyms have all been given a face lift too, though they mostly stay true to their original designs.
Important conversations will now trigger small cutscenes, helping the characters show off more personality.
Shockingly, "Pokémon Yellow" never refers to Jessie and James by name. In "Let's Go," they team up to fight your Pokémon 2-on-2.
Beyond the visuals, "Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!" and "Let's Go, Eevee!" offer plenty of innovation while staying true to the original games.
As someone who played the original games when they were released, seeing the world of "Pokémon: Red, Blue, and Yellow" fully realized in high-definition was a dream come true, and it's an experience that will likely last another generation.
"Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!" and "Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!" are available on the Nintendo Switch starting Friday.
