Nintendo has 4 new Pokémon games coming to the Switch, and the first is available now for free — here's everything we know by Ben Gilbert on May 30, 2018, 2:14 PM The long wait is over: There's a brand new Pokémon game available on Nintendo's Switch right now. 
Admittedly, "Pokémon Quest" may not have been the Pokémon game that Nintendo Switch owners were expecting. Given that Nintendo already announced that a "core" Pokémon game is coming to the Nintendo Switch, it was a major surprise on Tuesday night when the Japanese game giant announced three new Pokémon games. To be clear, those three new games are in addition to the still-in-development core game (that's now expected in the second half of 2019). That game, whenever it launches, is expected to usher in the first new "generation" of Pokémon since "Pokémon Sun & Moon" came out in late 2016. Meanwhile, the first game of the newly-announced bunch, "Pokémon Quest," is already available on the Nintendo Switch. Later this year, we're getting "Pokémon: Let's Go," a remake of 1999's "Pokémon Yellow." In true series fashion, "Let's Go Pokémon" will come in two different versions, starring mascot monsters Pikachu and Eevee. Here's everything we know about Pokémon's huge future on Nintendo's wildly popular Switch: SEE ALSO: The 34 hottest video games you shouldn't miss in 2018 Nintendo has four Pokémon games headed to the Switch, with the first available right now.  In an event in Tokyo this week, The Pokémon Company revealed a trio of new Pokémon games headed to the wildly popular Nintendo Switch. -"Pokémon Quest" (available now, for free)
-"Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!" and "Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!" (available on November 16, for $60 each) The fourth game — an unnamed "core" Pokémon game, first announced last year — is currently in development. It's scheduled for launch in the second half of 2019.
The first game to launch, "Pokémon Quest," isn't a typical Pokémon game. But it is pretty good!  In "Pokémon Quest," players cultivate a home base of wild Pokémon with which to take on hordes of enemy Pokémon in various — you guessed it! — quests. Well, that's not entirely accurate. There are indeed quests in the game, but the main thrust of it is leveling up your group of fighting Pokémon by winning battles and collecting loot. Since the game is "free to start," there are options built in to buy in-game currency with real money, which can then be used for virtual items in the game. That said, in the time I spent with "Pokémon Quest" this morning, I have mostly positive things to say. It's certainly not a traditional Pokémon game, but it sure is immediately fun. Battles are simple at first, but ramp up in difficulty quickly; you'll need tactical thinking if you want to win consistently. It looks and plays like a good mobile game, which makes sense — "Pokémon Quest" is headed to iPhone and Android in June.
