Pokémon Let's Go: 4 Differences between Pokémon Let's Go and Pokémon FireRed / LeafGreen

#3 Starter Pokémon

You can find all the starters later in Pokémon Let's Go

The player does not have the option to choose the original starter Pokémon, namely Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle in Let's Go. In Let's Go Pikachu, the player will always start with their Pikachu and in Let's Go Eevee, always with their Eevee. In FireRed and LeafGreen, one of the three original starters was what you had to pick.

However, players in Let's Go also have the option to get Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle in different parts of the game as they progress. Players could also do this in Pokémon Yellow. However, in Yellow, the Pokémon were freely handed out by interacting with an NPC. In Let's Go, players need to have caught 30 Pokémon in total to get Bulbasaur, 50 Pokémon total to get Charmander and 60 Pokémon total to get Squirtle.

Players can also catch the starters in the wild, although they are incredibly rare.
