Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! introduce Mega Evolutions

It's time for another monthly update for Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! Last month we got details about returning popular series characters, Brock and Misty. However, that won't be the only bit of nostalgia to be found here, as we learned today that the Team Rocket trio of Jessie, James, and Meowth will also make an appearance alongside Lt. Surge as well as familiar Vermillion City locations. The Pokemon Company uploaded a short little trailer detailing the additions.

Mixing old with the new, Let's Go, Pikachu and Eevee will also feature Mega Evolutions first introduced in Pokemon X and Y. The trailer shows off the Mega Evolution versions of Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise.  Mega Evolutions can occur once per battle as long as the player has the requisite items necessary for each specific Pokemon and has established a 'strong bond' with it. Familiar Vermilion City locales such as the S.S Anne and Lt. Surge's gym are also shown off in the trailer.
