With just over three months to go until Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are released into the world, we're getting increasingly desperate to get our hands on the final product. Luckily, for now at least, we can live through the eyes of a YouTube personality who managed to go behind-the-scenes at Game Freak to see the games first hand.
Yes, popular Japanese YouTuber Hajime has uploaded a video documenting his trip to Game Freak HQ, giving us a glimpse at the offices, workstations, and crucially, the games themselves. There are people walking around in Pikachu and Eevee costumes, Pikachu plushies in almost every room, and the whole thing's presented with a lovely, comedic vibe. We don't get the jokes as we can't understand Japanese, but we're sure you're wonderfully funny Hajime, so nice job!
If you watch the video until the end, you'll get to see a healthy chunk of the game's opening moments being played. Several screens and actions present here haven't been shown properly before, so this is a nice little treat for eager fans. Also, earlier on in the video, we see the developers showing off some of the animations for Pikachu and Eevee which is utterly adorable. That is until they start grotesquely pulling on Pikachu's cheeks.
The wait is almost over for the next entry into the Pokémon series - will you be reexploring Kanto? Let us know with a comment below.

Can't wait! Nice Filler till Next Year!
I wish it was November (or I wish that Nintendo decided to give us all a nice surprise and release the game early)!
Also if you look in the top left hand corner of the Pikachu screenshot you can see the word “beluga” which was the leaked code name for the game. This confirms that the leaked information from PixelPar was true and he also leaked information from the 2019 title so that is probably true too.
That Double Kick animation on Pikachu in 12:30 is incredible.
@Simon_Fitzgerald Ha! That’s right! Now if only he’d get some info on Fallout 3
I’m excited for this game, but I feel overwhelmed trying to clear my backlog before this fall/winter comes in. Starlink/Let’s Go/SSBU is gonna burn some PTO off my work bank.
@Simon_Fitzgerald What did he say about 2019’s title?
I must be the only one who's actually interested by the fact GF are using Maya for the animations. I always thought of Nintendo & Co as gods who use tools not meant for us mere mortals.
Modeling animation for Pikachu would be the best job ever!
SO HYPE!
Wow i am actually hyped about this game!
Needs more deflating Pikachus.
Game looks good, though.
Wow, the Game Freak office really does look like the one in the games.
@Preposterous lol I actually scrolled to see what you meant haha
The models for the Pokemon are really nice; it's no wonder they look so good in the game too.
Visually the game is just looking great, and this is exactly the way I imagined a modern Pokemon game looking and indeed was hoping for too.
I'm thinking this game is going to sell a LOT of copies and a lot of Switch systems too. And, by God, if this is how great the not actual next-gen Pokemon games . . . then I honesty cannot wait to see the actual full-new Pokemon game for 2019.
