The oddest thing about Let’s Go, and what presumably makes it non-canon, is that it seems to take place several years after the events of Red and Blue instead of just being a retelling with some aspects from the anime. However, the overarching goal is still to complete the eight Kanto gyms, head up Victory Road to Indigo Plateau, and take on the Elite Four to become a Pokemon Master.
