When it was first revealed through video clips that Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu would be the next Mainstream Pokemon Game, it was widely believed that Hold Items would cease to exist within this one and only game. This was later confirmed when players in certain regions were given the chance to play a Demo Version of the game. Instead of gaining a competitive advantage in battle with the help of Hold Items, players will now have to rely even more on Battle Items that actually continue to exist. Unlike Hold Items, Battle Items help raise certain Stats of a Pokemon while in battle (but can only be used once).
