Master Trainers are coming to wreck you in Pokemon: Let's Go!

Pokemon: Let's Go! Pikachu & Eevee are essentially remakes of Pokemon Red/Blue, but that doesn't mean that Nintendo isn't adding new things in.

Case in point are the new Master Trainers - trainers you'll find on the road after you've beaten the main game who have dedicated their lives to training just one Pokemon.

Stumble across one of these bad boys and you'll have a one-Pokemon-only battle on your hands, with no items allowed. And you better watch out, cos these trainers have taught their Pokemon moves that you probably can't teach your own.


Beat them, however, and you earn the title of Master Trainer for that Pokemon. So if you've always wanted people to call you Charizard Master, now's your chance.

One thing that wasn't made clear in the Twitter video is how many trainers there'll be. One for every Pokemon? Do I really want to go through 151 hard battles just to gain every title? (Yes, yes I do.)

The Pokemon: Let's Go! games are due out on November 16th on Switch. We've already played it for a bit and we can tell you now, it's way better than you think it's going to be.
