We know a lot of people prefer to play their games with the sturdy and reliable Pro Controller for the Nintendo Switch. However, every now and then, a game is released that doesn't support it, including the likes of Super Mario Party.

Now, thanks to the Japanese Nintendo Eshop listing, we know that the upcoming Pokémon: Let's Go Pikachu/Let's Go Eevee is one of those games that simply won't support the Pro Controller. In fact, you won't be able to play with dual Joy-Cons either, rather it requires you to use a single one (or the Pokéball Plus peripheral), so don't expect ergonomic gaming if you have big hands and are looking forward to catching some pocket monsters when it's released on November 16.
