Most Pokémon games on Switch ask children to manage quite a lot: move types, held items, breeding, team composition. Let's Go strips nearly all of that back to the part that actually captures children in the first place, catching Pokémon and watching them follow you around. The Kanto region is familiar enough that even kids who have seen the anime can orient themselves quickly. Drop-in co-op means a sibling or parent can join mid-session without setup or menus. I would not recommend this over the main series games for a twelve-year-old who wants depth, but for a first-time Pokémon player who is six or seven, it is the right starting point on Switch.
