Revision as of 17:10, 12 February 2020
Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! (Japanese: ポケットモンスター Let's Go! ピカチュウ Pocket Monsters: Let's Go! Pikachu) and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! (Japanese: ポケットモンスター Let's Go! イーブイ Pocket Monsters: Let's Go! Eievui) are the third and final paired versions of Generation VII. They are remakes of the Generation I game Pokémon Yellow Version. The games were released on the Nintendo Switch. The games take place in the Kanto region, and are the second of two remakes taking place in Kanto, following Generation III games Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen in 2004.
The games were announced worldwide on May 30, 2018, at the Pokémon 2018 Video Game Press Conference in Tokyo, Japan.[1][2] The paired versions were released worldwide on November 16, 2018. All copies of the game are playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

The games are set in the region of Kanto, with Pikachu available in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Eevee available in Let's Go, Eevee! as a starter Pokémon. The player encounters Team Rocket and has the opportunity to meet two all-new Pokémon through the use of Pokémon GO.
- The starter Pokémon in this game, Partner Pokémon, Pikachu and Eevee, have higher base stats compared to the regular ones, in addition of having all-perfect 31 IVs. Their gender can be determined by the title screen during the start of the game. Unlike the regular Eevee, which does not have any gender differences, the female starter Eevee has a unique heart-shaped pattern around the tip of their tail.
- Pikachu, like in all core series games since Pokémon X and Y, is voiced by Ikue Ohtani, while Eevee is voiced by Aoi Yūki.[3]
- The Joy-Con is used to catch Pokémon by flicking one's wrist in a throwing motion, similar to the method in Pokémon GO. While in handheld mode, wild Pokémon are caught by aiming the Poké Ball with motion controls. Wild Pokémon, except for interactive Pokémon, can no longer be battled in a traditional sense, but NPC Trainers can be battled as normal.
- Two-player simultaneous play feature, which can be done by sharing one of the Joy-Con controllers. Both players can adventure at the same time and one of them may lend a hand by joining in battles against NPC Trainers. This feature also increases the chances of catching Pokémon successfully by throwing Poké Balls together at the wild Pokémon.
- An accessory called the Poké Ball Plus can be used to catch Pokémon in place of a Joy-Con. Like the Pokéwalker, a Pokémon can be taken on the go and be interacted with for rewards when returned to the game. It also contains the Mythical Pokémon Mew, a special Pokémon that cannot be obtained by normal gameplay.
- The introduction of two new Mythical Pokémon: Meltan and its evolved form, Melmetal.
- Once the player has become the Champion, Master Trainers will appear and can be found scattered throughout the Kanto region. They are considered the strongest Trainers for every Pokémon species in Generation I and can be spotted by the icon of the Pokémon they favor above their heads. In these battles, the player is only allowed to use one Pokémon which is the same species as them and any medicines are prohibited.
Returning features
- The eight Gym Leaders of Kanto and their Badges, as well as the Elite Four of the Indigo Plateau, return.
- The rematch battle of all Gym Leaders, the Elite Four, and the Champion after entering the Hall of Fame, also return.
- Team Rocket returns, including the trio from the anime series, Jessie, James, and Meowth. Unlike in their game debut Pokémon Yellow, Jessie and James engage the player in Double Battles.
- The starter Pokémon have similar traits to the Pokémon Yellow. In this case, starter Pikachu and Eevee, unlike ones found in the wild, prefer to be out of its Poké Ball and have no interest in evolving.
- The starter Pikachu and Eevee also react differently near the hidden items by wagging their own tail.
- A feature that allow the player to pet a Pokémon similarly to Pokémon-Amie and Pokémon Refresh, can be called by pressing "Play with Pikachu/Eevee" on the menu. However, this feature is limited to the starter Pikachu and Eevee.
- Any Pokémon that the player has in their party can follow them outside their Poké Balls, as well as their action and reaction depending on the environment, like they did in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. However, the Pokémon that walks outside of its Poké Ball can now be chosen out of the party.
- Certain Pokémon appear to be ridden in the certain locations instead of following the player. These Pokémon include Charizard, Persian (Kantonian form only), Machamp, Arcanine, Rapidash, Dodrio, Haunter, Onix, Rhyhorn, Rhydon, Kangaskhan, Starmie, Tauros, Gyarados, Lapras, Aerodactyl, Snorlax, and Dragonite.
- Only Gyarados and Lapras cannot appear outside unless they are in the sea.
- After entering the Hall of Fame for the first time, Charizard, Aerodactyl, and Dragonite can be ridden across the Kanto region; however they cannot enter the secluded places. This allows the player to encounter and catch the wild Pokémon in the sky.
- Certain Pokémon appear to be ridden in the certain locations instead of following the player. These Pokémon include Charizard, Persian (Kantonian form only), Machamp, Arcanine, Rapidash, Dodrio, Haunter, Onix, Rhyhorn, Rhydon, Kangaskhan, Starmie, Tauros, Gyarados, Lapras, Aerodactyl, Snorlax, and Dragonite.
- Mega Evolutions of Generation I Pokémon (Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Beedrill, Pidgeot, Alakazam, Slowbro, Gengar, Kangaskhan, Pinsir, Gyarados, Aerodactyl, and Mewtwo), as well as their corresponding Mega Stones, return. As Pokémon are no longer able to hold an item, Mega Stones can be activated in the Bag instead. Only Mega Stones belonging to Kanto starter Pokémon can be obtained prior entering the Hall of Fame.
Changes from Generations I and III
- The games are no longer backwards compatible with any other main series games, unlike every other main series game released since Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
- In addition to customizing the player's color skin and clothing, the starter Pokémon can also be dressed in different outfits and be given different accessories and hairstyles.
- Wild Pokémon now appear on the overworld. Coming into contact with one will engage them. They may appear with either a red or blue aura, which indicates their size, either being larger or smaller, respectively, than their own standard size.
- Shiny Pokémon in the wild will also appear so in the overworld.
- A feature called the Catch Combo tracks how many of the same species of Pokémon is caught in a row without the Pokémon running away or the game turning off. The higher the combo, the stronger and rarer wild Pokémon become, and Shiny Pokémon become more common.
- Several features from past core games have been removed, including: the day and night cycle, several moves (including all Z-Moves and weather), Abilities, several items, held items, breeding, and Eggs.
- Moves that were introduced in Generation I are all available in the games, along with a smaller selection of moves from later generations. For more information, see list of moves by availability (Generation VII).
- Abilities were found in the game's code, but were unused.
- The only available Poké Ball that were not introduced in Generation I are Premier Ball and Cherish Ball.
- A Premier Ball can be obtained as a gift for every 10 Poké Balls (of any kind) purchased at the Poké Mart.
- Teleport has been given a different effect. Mega Drain, Giga Drain, Solar Beam, and Sky Attack also had their powers significantly increased.
- Calculations for stats have been changed, allowing for Pokémon to reach much higher stat ceilings than in previous core games.
- Effort values (EVs) have been replaced by awakening values (AVs), which can be raised by feeding specific Candy.
- High friendship can boost all stats by up to 10%, before adding in AVs.
- The Bicycle has been removed; the Miracle Cycle shop in Cerulean City is replaced with the home of a Bike Maniac who collects many kinds of bikes.
- Cycling Road is redesigned as the "Pokémon Road"; some of the Bikers (now Punk Guys) and Roughnecks that used to challenge the player there have been moved to near the Secret House instead.
- Candy can be used to increase the AVs of Pokémon, and is obtained from capturing or transferring Pokémon to Professor Oak, similar to the Candy from Pokémon GO.
- The Pokémon Box, accessible from the Bag, replaces PCs, allowing players to switch the Pokémon in their party at any point in the game.
- The player can no longer play mini-games on the machines in the Celadon Game Corner because the service desk has run out of coins. However, there are certain spots where the hidden items such as Bottle Caps are recurring once per day in the Game Corner.
- The Safari Zone in Fuchsia City replaces the zoo, and has added the GO Park, where the player is able to interact with their caught Pokémon. Similar to the Box system in the Pokémon Storage System, the GO Park complex has a total of 20 GO Parks, with each capable of holding 50 Pokémon. Thus, the player can transfer up to 1,000 Pokémon into the games.
- If the player has gathered 25 of the same species of Pokémon, they can play a minigame in the Park's Play Yard for Candy. Alolan forms are counted as a separate species, listed in red.
- Exclusive new moves are available for the starter Pikachu and Eevee. Pikachu can learn Zippy Zap, Splishy Splash and Floaty Fall, while Eevee can learn Bouncy Bubble, Buzzy Buzz, Sizzly Slide, Glitzy Glow, Baddy Bad, Sappy Seed, Freezy Frost and Sparkly Swirl. These moves can be learned from a Move Tutor in the Pokémon Centers of Cerulean City, Celadon City, and Fuchsia City.
- The starter Pikachu and Eevee can activate their own partner powers in battle once they have high enough friendship. If activated while they are in battle, they use an exclusive move—Pika Papow or Veevee Volley—which increases in damage based on friendship. If activated while they are not in battle, they boost the stats of the current Pokémon.
- TMs have been reordered and readded with some moves previously available via Move Tutor. The amount of TM moves available also have been decreased compared to previous core series games.
- HM moves have been replaced by Secret Techniques, which the starter Pikachu and Eevee can use in the overworld, but which do not take up move slots. These include Chop Down for Cut, Sea Skim for Surf, and Sky Dash for Fly.
- Interactive Pokémon such as Electrode, Snorlax, and Legendary Pokémon can be battled, but they must be defeated to be captured. A five-minute time limit is in effect for the battle. If the timer hits 0, the battle ends abruptly. Hitting the Home button or putting the console in sleep mode does not pause the timer.
- Electrode disguised as items are now white on top and red at the bottom, just like real Electrode.
- Both Snorlax are battled with either an Attack or Defense stat boost, while all the Legendary Pokémon have all their stats increased, similar to Totem Pokémon.
- All the interactive Pokémon are guaranteed at least 3 perfect IVs.
- The legendary birds (Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres) can be encountered as the wild Pokémon in the sky after beating the Champion for the first time.
- Legendary Pokémon encountered this way are treated as regular wild Pokémon, so they do not have to be battled before being caught, can flee, and are not guaranteed to have any perfect IVs.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
- The game features entirely new protagonists, Chase and Elaine, instead of Red, and the role of Blue is replaced with a new friendly rival, Trace.
- The player and their rival receive their Pokédex along with their starter Pokémon and no longer battle until returning to Professor Oak to deliver his parcel. The player also receives some Razz Berries from Professor Oak instead of some Poké Balls.
- The Team Rocket trio appears early at Viridian City, where they replace the old man as the obstacle keeping the player from progressing to Route 2. They later can be found in the Pokémon Road in Route 17 after the disbandment of Team Rocket.
- Unlike in Pokémon Yellow, Meowth (Team Rocket) no longer battles.
- Mina, a Fairy-type Pokémon Trainer from Alola, is visiting Kanto and can be found in the Vermilion Port.
- Lorelei appears early during the Team Rocket Grunt's raid near the Pokémon Center on Route 10.
- After killing the Cubone's mother in Lavender Town, Team Rocket kidnaps Cubone and takes it back to the Team Rocket Hideout. They also push away the Team Rocket Grunt blocking access to Silph Co. Cubone is later adopted into Trace's team after being rescued.
- Instead of battling the ghost of Cubone's mother, she is calmed by the presence of her child, Cubone, and then departs.
- Archer, a Team Rocket Executive who was introduced in Generation II and given a name in Generation IV, appears during the story.
- The player meets Red, Blue, and, for the first time as a non-player character, Green over the course of their adventure.
- Red only appears in the Indigo Plateau outside of the Pokémon League after the player beats at least six Master Trainers.
- Blue appears early in the Pewter City and later in the Silph Co. during the raid of Team Rocket. Similar to the storyline prior to Generation II, Blue takes over as the Gym Leader of Viridian Gym after the player beats the Champion.
- Green can be found in Cerulean Cave, searching for Mewtwo, and later reappears in Cerulean City.
- Moltres is back on Victory Road like from Gen I
- Like in Generation III, all Elite Four members share the Gym battle music instead of the Trainer battle music.
- The Power Plant goes back to having the Rocket Hideout music from Gen I instead of the Pokémon Mansion from Gen III.
- The games feature all of the 151 Pokémon of Generation I, as well as the new Mythical Pokémon Meltan and its evolution Melmetal. Players can also import the Alolan forms of these Pokémon from Pokémon GO or receive them from in-game trades repeatedly.
Game-exclusive Pokémon
The game-exclusive Partner the player starts with cannot be traded to other games. While a single Persian is obtainable in Let's Go, Pikachu!, and a single Arcanine is obtainable in Let's Go, Eevee! through an NPC, they are not obtainable as wild Pokémon in those respective games.

Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
The games are compatible with any number of Pokémon GO accounts through Bluetooth LE. Players can send Generation I Pokémon and their Alolan Forms, as well as Meltan and Melmetal, from their phone to the games where they will appear in GO Park. Pokémon that are one-time or event-only in GO cannot be transferred, such as Mew, Pikachu with various event hats, and Squirtle with sunglasses.
Each time a Pokémon is transferred from Pokémon GO to the Nintendo Switch, the Pokémon GO account will be awarded 100 experience and one candy corresponding to each Pokémon transferred. Transferring a Pokémon from Pokémon GO to the Switch for the first time also gives the GO account a Mystery Box, which can be opened once every three (originally seven) days to spawn wild Meltan. Each time before the box can be opened, a Pokémon transfer must be made from Pokémon GO to the Nintendo Switch.
The games are incompatible with Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon.

Title screens
- The term "Let's Go!" (Japanese: レッツ ゴー!) may be a reference to Pokémon GO and the end phrase of Professor Oak's introduction in the Japanese and English versions of the Generation I core series games.
- These are the first core series games:
- To be released exclusively on a home console.
- They are also the first since Pokémon Emerald to be playable on a home console in any form. While the core series games of Generations I through III were released for handheld platforms, they could also be played on Nintendo's home consoles of the time through various peripherals.
- To be playable exclusively on a system different from other core series games in their generation.
- In which not every Pokémon revealed at the time is programmed into the games.
- To have a decreased amount of TMs available compared to past games.
- To not have any battle facilities since Pokémon Gold and Silver.
- To not be compatible with previous core series titles in any way since Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, and as such, the first to be unable to trade with other core series games in their generation.
- To be compatible with Pokémon GO.
- To not feature the GTS, a day-and-night cycle, or use two screens since Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
- To not feature Wonder Trade since Pokémon X and Y.
- To not feature breeding since Pokémon Gold and Silver.
- To not feature Abilities since Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
- To not be compatible with the Pokémon Global Link since Pokémon Black and White.
- To only have regional Pokémon in the main storyline since Pokémon Black and White.
- To not have a PC.
- As the Pokémon Box can be accessed from the players bag, this is the only core series game in which the player can change their Pokémon party between battles while facing the Elite Four.
- To not use different designs between the two versions for the Japanese main title logo (ポケットモンスター).
- To natively support multiple save files per game, thanks to the Nintendo Switch managing save files by profile and cartridges no longer being used to store save files.
- To be released exclusively on a home console.
- Let's Go, Pikachu! has the longest name of all core series titles, including symbols and spaces, with 18.
- These games mark the first time that an upper version has been remade.
- As revealed in an interview with Junichi Masuda, the reason Eevee was chosen as a game mascot alongside Pikachu was because of all of the fanart Eevee has gotten.[17]
- Masuda also revealed that Psyduck was considered for the role instead of Eevee, but was not chosen because it was the same color as Pikachu.
- These are the first core series remakes to introduce brand-new Pokémon.
- Like in Pokémon Yellow, Ekans, Koffing, and Meowth and their evolutionary relatives are not found in the wild in Let's Go, Pikachu!. These three Pokémon are commonly associated with Team Rocket in the original series. To compensate, Mankey, Grimer, and their relatives are exclusive to Let's Go, Pikachu!, a reference to two Pokémon Ash caught in the original series, Primeape and Muk.
- The button prompts that appear in menus on the lower-right match colors with the buttons on a Super Nintendo's controller as they appear in the Japanese and PAL regions.
- These are the only core series games in Generation VII to:
- Of all of the core series games where Red appears as a non-player character, this is the first in which he does not have all three Kanto starter Pokémon on his team.
- Because South Korea never got an official Korean-language release for either Generation I or Generation III games (and thus never received Pokémon Red and Green or Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen), these games are the first Korean-language games which primarily feature Kanto and follow the original story featured in Generation I.
- However, Kanto was still accessible in both Generation II's Pokémon Gold and Silver—which was the first official Korean-language release of any Pokémon game—and its Generation IV remake, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, albeit as a post-game extra. Therefore, Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are the first games in Korean to start in Kanto.
- The same holds true for the players in Greater China, although these are the first official Chinese-language games to visit Kanto in any form.
- This is the last Pokémon game to be released in the Heisei period.

The new Wrangler JL generation satisfies everything a Jeep lover loves, while making this hardcore off-roader more comfortable and livable for those with softer core requirements. - Autotrader
Any Southern California car dealership worth its salt can – and will – tell you a laundry list of reasons why their store deserves to earn your business. But at Russell Westbrook Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Van Nuys, we'll never tell you why. Instead, we ask you why not? To NBA all-star point guard Russell Westbrook, "Why not?" is a mantra; a lifestyle. And in opening our state-of-the-art, one-of-a-kind Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Rams store near Los Angeles, Russell applied that mantra just the same as he does on the court to give you a new car, SUV, truck and certified pre-owned vehicle buying experience that's a real game changer. Why not discover the difference for yourself? Swing by our convenient CDJR dealership location on Van Nuys, and you'll feel inspired and empowered to take a shot at a new level of customer service you won't find at any other dealership.
Came to this dealership looking for a used ca, but the salesman Rene shown me that it was better for me to get a new car Renegade, I really liked it so I went home in a new jeep
In this time of isolation, I was able to find my car and deal with the sales team completely online. I had reached out to a couple of dealerships but Michelle at Russell Westbrook was quick to reply. I appreciated her and the team's hustle to get me my car and all the quick replies to my many questions. They delivered my car when they said they would and Rene was so patient and understanding as I went through and signed all the paperwork, as he sat out in the car. Since he could not give me the traditional rundown of the car, he told me I could call his cell anytime with any questions and he followed up with me the next day. I love the car and couldn't be happier with my experience with Russell Westbrook Jeep!
Rene offered me a great advice, especially me being a first time buyer with no credit. I was finally able to pick up my dogde challenger. Staff and the financial folks were in depth with my signing and plans. They worked everything to fit my budget. I got a sick deal. If you're looking into purchasing a new car, I recommend you check out russell Westbrook of Van Nuys & Holler. You won't be disappointed. Thank you rene
My wife and I were looking to purchase a Dodge Challenger Scat Pack, unfortunately due to our recent arrival to the US, it was pretty difficult to get a reasonably priced lease in any dealership. After working it through with Rene, we manage to strike a deal that worked for us on an Challenger R/T. No other dealership came even close to offering me a similar deal so over all it was pretty good. Rene was very attentive and friendly and he helped me out testing all the cars I had an interest in. All in all, good place to get a Dodge!
Rene the sales manager and his manager were amazing! Very helpful and did their best to help me with the purchase of my new vehicle. Exactly what I was looking for!
Rene was amazing. Took good care of my needs. He is the reason I bought the car that I bought. I was not sure on which one I wanted and he helped me find the right Jeep for me.
Great service. Very nice people they helped me out with all my questions and towards the end help me get the car i really wanted other than that i would say it's a dealership worth going to.
Muy amable el personal del dealer en cuanto llegamos preguntamos por alguien que nos atendiera en español y muy amable el señor René robles también
They had my exact match I designed off Jeep.com, that almost never happens. Rene took care of all my needs and got me in the driver seat of the Jeep of my dreams. I am super excited I get to start off the new year with my Jeep.
Amazing service , I am completely happy with all the help they provided they helped me find exactly what I was looking for with a great deal . Thank you .
If your looking for a new car Russell Westbrook Chrysler is the place, and employees like Rene Robles who knows the product and understand the customer needs. Thank you guys!
Was a smooth experience at the dealership. I returned my lease and Rene helped me find the car I wanted right away.. finance department was great as well
I called and made an inquiry online. I got an immediate response. I then got a call from Jocelyn. She scheduled me to come see and drive the car. Then I got a call from Rene. He made sure that I was coming and he let me know that he would show me the car. I arrived and I was greeted. It was good to see salespeople that were smiling. They sent Rene to us. He greeted us and brought the car over. We got the test drive. We went inside and we discussed terms. We were looking for a fair amount for our trade. The first offer was a low. Rodrigo came over and made our day. We made the deal. Nabil was friendly and great also. We are satisfied customers. Thank to to the entire dealership..
Rene was very helpful and has provided professional and satisfying customer service. I do recommend working with Rene as he is a very patient and easy going sales representative.
Been to this dealership for the third time never fails to get awesome deals really recommend Rene is an amazing sales person! Go check russell westbrook out!!
Excellent service, would recommend to friends and family! Everyone was a delight to be around and helped ever step of the way. Thank you so much!
I had an awesome experience. My seller was very honest and knowledgable. He made me feel comfortable and for the first time I didn't feel pressure. I recommend Rene Robles to be your seller.
I'm just so happy with the service and the purchase that I made thanks everyone at the dealership but I have to say Rene Robles helped to bring an early Christmas present to my family
Found a 2019 Rebel that was perfect for me and at a great price! Staff was friendly and professional. Overall good experience, might be back in the near future!
The service that we received was great . The Sales man was great and very helpful . I would definitely recommend friends and family to come to this dealership.
Great salesperson and Administration services, The process of buying the car, was very easy I will highly recommend this dealer and of course the sales Rep Rene Robles made a lot easier to buy
Muy buen servicio y muy amables y si se recomienda comprar todo buen precio el señor que nos atendió muy buena persona y muy amable
Service people is very kind and professional waiting time was reasonable, waiting area very nice and the appointment time was perfect and very convenient because of my job
Rene was the best salesman I've ever encountered. He let me see every car I wanted to see with no questions asked. He trusted me and knew I was there to buy a car and not waste his time. I definitely will be telling my friends my experience here at this dealership!
They worked very hard to get me what I wanted. I felt like they really cared about my concerns and my happiness. My sales person, Rene Robles was wonderful. I highly recommend visiting this dealership and Rene.
This is the second vehicle I've purchased at this dealer and every single time Rene has always pulled through for me. I will definitely be coming back in the future!
I went in with a pre approved loan and the whole experience was painless and finished within 1 and a half hours. These guys were awesome. Thanks Rene and staff at Russell Westbrook.
Rene is the man to talk to If you ever looking for a new vehicle!! Process was smooth and easy, he is outstanding guy, this is my 3rd car I bought form Rene.
I've never experienced any other dealership And their staff being as Pleasant And as caring As this dealership . Extremely polite And respectful when you take your vehicle for service.
Rene was truly awesome! He helped us throughout the process of getting our Rubicon! I can't find any reason to not give him the full 5 star, he was very respectful despite of me and my boyfriend appearance (we are always treated unfairly because we look young compared to our age) I'll definitely recommend him! Rodrigo (idk the last name) also was a big help with the negotiation. Despite of having some miscommunication about the downpayment between him and the guy that helped us during the signing IT'S OKAY. We realized that it was not the negotiated amount by the end of the contract signing and I LET IT GO, because i don't want to start all over the signing process. Anyway BIG THANKS to both of them! 👍🏻👍🏻
I want to thank Rene Robles for assisting us with our Jeep Wrangler 2019 purchase! He was extremely helpful, friendly, patient and informative and a great person to talk while we were waiting! If you are planning to buy a car Ask for Rene Robles! Thank You!

I came to this dealership discouraged due to my credit and other dealerships I've encountered, but as soon as I walked in to Russell Westbrook of Van Nuys my whole persona changed. The sales team was very friendly and welcoming, the inside of the dealership was awesome 👏 the basketball court was original I enjoyed my time there. Rene was my sale guy. He was amazing, with all the efforts he and the team put in to me getting my BRAND NEW CAR I was blessed to get A JEEP RENEGADE! This was a big moment for me in life and very big milestone for my daughter and I, with this car I now have better opportunities to have a better future! I will continue to refer people to get the right deals and great prices to come swing on by they will take care of them! Thank you I'm very extremely satisfied and blessed
Rene was very helpful and kind. He made sure I was happy with my new Trailhawk Jeep Renegade! Thank You all very much for your kind help!
Rene was extremely helpful and responsive throughout my leasing process. He listened, did not push and helped me get the best offer out there. I would absolutely recommend Rene and this dealership to others.
I gave it five stars because of Rene, he was very attentive and helpful. He helped us place an order on our new 2018 dodge challenger srt 392. He would notify us as soon as he would get a new status on the car and was very patient with all our questions. Thank you Rene! See you when we trade in for a hellcat!!
What to say more than thank you! Rene Robles : it was a pleasure working with you. Your professionalism is outstanding. You made the all process of leasing my new car feel like a breeze. Thank you !
Excellent customer service, representative Shows and explains every detail on the cars Very professional, it's my second car, buying from ,Russell Westbrook Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.
We built and spec'd a Jeep on the Jeep website and came to Russell Westbrook CDJR because they had the JK that had had the highest amount of matches based on our build. Came a month or so ago to test drive it for the first time. We came again on 06/14 and Carlos Rene did what he had to get us the deal we were after. Couldn't be more pleased. We are happy with our new purchase and unlike other dealers that only provide 4 gallons of gas, they made sure our new ride was completely topped off before we drove off the lot. Gracias Rene!
Rene was helpful and knowledgeable. He approached us from the beginning with a very nice attitude. He was courteous and nice throughout the entire transaction and a pleasure to work with.
Salesperson very attentive and very happy with my new car . Would definetly recommend to everyone , just to stop by for a tour of the wide selections of cars they have .
Great help and customer service works with yiu to try to get you what you are looking for. Very friendly and really tries to make your experience a great one
Highly recommended Sales, Rene Carlos Rubles and Manager, Andy Cortez. They both displayed professionalism and knowledge and got me a deal that fit my budget and a car that exceeded my expectations. Very happy.
The customer service at Russell Westbrook was amazing. Rene helped me out since I stepped on the lot. We spent hours trying to find the right vehicle with the bestest price. Rene helped me get the best monthly payments. He got me in the car I was looking for. He also helped me set everything up inside the vehicle. The best part is he treated my family and I with a lot of respect. Really appreciated. I will definitely reccomend Rene and Russell Westbrook to everyone I know. Thank you for all the help!! I love my new car!!!
Tanks to Rene robles my experience with my new car was very profesional and a very helpful great customer service Thanks Rene for a great customer service.
I drive a 2016 Ram 1500 and cake in looking to downsize. Drove off in a 2018 Jeep Compass Trailhawk. Very pleasant experience! Could have asked for anything more. Thank you!
Every visit is always a great one with an indoor basketball hoop to shoot your time away and with friendly faces helping you to get the best deal you can possibly get. A very modern place and the best Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in the San Fernando Valley.
Rene help me out buying my first car and it's a beauty 😁 thanks for helping me get my new car it's tuff as xxxx thank again
I was helped immediately after walking in. Rene took good care of us. He brought the car I went in for and about 2 hours later, I drove it home . My son enjoyed the little basketball court and the kids area as well . Highly recommend!
I can't begin to explain the gratitude I feel for the staff that helped me get into the car I've been wanting to purchase for years. The team there helped get me into the exact car I wanted not try to sway me in the direction of a different vehicle. The relentless pursuit for the right deal by Enrique and Rene really convinced me this is the place I want to keep coming to for my future vehicle purchase. They're friendly and determined to get you in the vehicle you want. I want to say thank you for helping my wife and I purchase our 2018 Dodge challenger.
I received amazing service from Russell Westbrook, from ordering the car to being kept updated to its arrival. The process was easy and painless for my first dealership. I would definitely return for my next car and will be recommending this dealership to all of my friends.
Yes because all these employees are so dedicated and that they're really good employee very friendly and very positive and a lot of help with your needs and the kind of payment you are a looking for
I can in not thinking about the out come. The agent Rene work with what I was asking for. Trade in options and low down payment couldn't have ask for more. First time buyer and went super smooth then I expected.
The service was amazing, they were very compassionate, trust worthy and just incredibly helpful in general! They made it possible to get my dream car!
I had a nice time. I was not pressured to buy the car. Rene Robles was very friendly and professional. I highly recommend it here.
Needed to buy a vehicle for traveling and found a rare low mileage town & country. Process was quick and efficient. Thanks Rene for the help
Turned in my lease early, got a great deal. Rene is a pleasure to work with. Have been doing business with this dealership for many years.
5 stars to this dealership and to the salesman Rene Robles. He was very helpful and very polite. He answered any questions I had regarding the vehicles I was interested in. Overall very good teamwork and management.
Made it happen for me my sales person was Rene Robles patient took his time to explain everything an made my deal happen so smooth . I got one of my dream cars at Westbrook in Van Nuys I want to thank the whole team their at the westbrook dealership for the best car buying expirance!

Best costumer service!! They were very helpful and friendly.. hands down best dodge dealer in the valley. When u go ask for Rene he's a lot of help.
Great experience. We went in late and they stayed to help us. Everything was taken care of fast and easily. Rene was awesome and very informative. Definitely recommend them!
Thank you so much to the best sales Rene Carlos, and manager Andy Cortez, to understand my request for my new car and stay in my baget.
Great service, a great number of selections to choose from. Staff was amazing, super friendly and attentive to your needs. Easy to get to location
It was quick and to the point,they always have good deals and my second car here, and Rene pushed the price i wanted, definitely coming back for a 3rd.
Excellent customer service and gave more options. Good service. Nice cars no pressure give a lot of option even my credit score not too high
If you're looking for a car, then Rene Robles is your man. If you're looking for the right deal, then Tony Quatarone and Russell Westbrook are your peeps! I looked at similar units; '17 Jeep Cherokee v6 with safety and comfort groups at a dealer in Downey two weeks ago. I decided I wanted that model with the panoramic moonroof which they didn't have. I found it at Westbrook via ww.jeep.com. I fought may way, traffic wise, 3 nights ago from Culver City to Van Nuys. And boy, am I glad I did! I was greeted at the door by Rene who couldn't have been nicer. Today, 4 days later, I now own that car. I arrived this morning with research and run numbers of several vehicles and dealer offers. Rene quickly introduced me to Tony. Tony listened to my research, reasoning and requirements. He keyed me in on a few things I hadn't factored in which were totally valid. With that said he told me he'd be right back with his best offer. Shortly thereafter he presented his offer which I accepted on the spot. I chilled in a very comfortable show room waiting for finance. Before I knew it my Jeep was sitting outside the window freshly washed with a full tank. Next I had keys and manual in hand from Rene. Jimmy in finance had me in and out in a jiffy quickly completing the paperwork in a flash. He has a great sense of humor and we laughed together with my trading my car selling days stories. I sold Hondas and BMWs back in the early 80s for Norm Braman Motors in Miami for over a year. Let me just add in conclusion, working with Rene, Tony and the entire Westbrook sales team should be the model for every other dealer! I couldn't be happier with the vehicle, the deal or the service and treatment at Westbrook. Bravo!
I had the best experience with Mario Garcia, as my sales professional. He explained every detail regarding the car. He shows a lot of knowledge regarding the brand, and whenever I have questions I am able to text him and he is there to answer my concerns. Thank you so much.
Everything was so smooth professional and I have already referred friends !! Thank you 🙏 I look forward to telling more people in my network about my amazing experience!
This place scams you by charging you with an over priced Theft patrol coverage & charged me with more payments than I was offered on deal.
Wow!!!!!! I love my new 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee!!! If you are interested in buying a beautiful car, ask for MARIO GARCIA! He was the most professional, yet helpful in our car buying experience!! Not only did he meet our expectations he was completely honest and up front about prices and features in every car we asked about before buying our beautiful Jeep 😍. I am so thankful to have been helped by Mario because he completely understood my needs and meet them!! I talked to a couple different dealerships and they were extremely rude and unprofessional but Mario would never!! Everyone else at the dealership was so friendly and we will be referring all of our friends and family to Mario for life!!! Thank you Mario!!! You made our car dreams come true!
The best car dealership in the world, my credit score is the 500 just started my job and was approved . Very easy process nice people
it was great working with all who helped us. They really worked with us . Thanks again for great service we love our new car so much
Had the Best Experience with Mario Garcia ! He was amazing ! Got Me my dream challenger ! Christian Zeron Was wonderful to make sure everything was finalized! Bobby Hastings Thank u for getting my approval Done!
Came in to lease a Jeep Compass and left with exactly what I wanted! Mario was very helpful and I got a great payment plan within my budget! Thanks to everyone who helped me, Laura Anderson
Help me to get a dream car Ford Mustang. I love the car and what amazing service that they had provide to me. Thanks you.

MARIO is absolutely the best got my husband the truck of his dreams for such an amazing price !! We drives from far to come see Mario base on his reviews an he was not a disappointment! Very Happy thank Mario Garcia an ur Staff of Mangaers as well Bobby & Andres
Won't say much but MARIO was amazing and professional! Hassle No pressure I highly recommend working with Him ! Simply the best experience! Thank u MARIO Garcia & Russell Westbrook!
Mario was a great help in finding my husband's dream car. He made the experience fun and stress free! Was extremely friendly and helpful definitely recommend him to anyone trying to have a smooth experience.
I was attracted to this dealership for its price on the vehicle I wanted. A far drive for me but worth it for the price. Sales guy Mario was helpful but I did not appreciate the fact that they charged me $3000 for a gps tracker (theft patrol) that did not work. Finance guy (forgot his name) was very talkative which is not bad but when the deal was done and he was handing me the final papers he kept insisting that I lick the envelope. Which was very uncomfortable and weird. My daughter was next to me and she was somewhat disturbed by that. I had to call the company( theftpatrol) and they are sending someone over to fix and or replace. My vehicle was only filled to 3/4 of fuel when I was told it would be filled up. My truck was delivered somewhat dirty inside and out and and nobody went over the vehicle as they delivered.
The service process could not be better. Mario at sales was very helpful and got me a good terms. I am really pleased and would definitely go back.
When buying a new vehicle can be such an overwhelming experience along comes this great dealership who made our experience so easy. Mario Garcia is an awesome salesman who gives his all! Everyone is friendly and attentive but most importantly after days of research we found they had the best prices in all of California! We got the truck we wanted for an amazing price. Thank you to Mario and all the whole team!
Very friendly and helpful. Helped me get into the Jeep of my choice. Mario was awesome in helping me find the best car by touring all of their inventory.
Wonderful all around. Most impressive, is our one and now ONLY Salesperson, Mario Garcia. He tries his best to make your experience as easy as possible. He's the BEST!!!
Not happy about having to pay $457 for a light bulb change, but this service center is reliable, does a great job and I will be returning...
Staff is helpful gave me a great deal on a challenger scat pack love the car would highly recommend this dealership to anyone in the market for a new vehicle.
So my husband daughter and I walked in with an upside down Subaru that we hated and left happily in a 2019 wrangler all thanks to Mario and our good friend Claudia!!!! They both made sure we left happy with everything and we sure did and can't wait to go back when we're ready to get our second car😜👍🏻 -Nancy Valdez & Michael Cov.
Everyone was professional, but the process needs to be speeded up. I bought a new car, by far not the first time. I was there close to 5 hours since I got there till I got out with my new Jeep.
Mario took us around to see all the options in what we were looking for until we were absolutely sure of the car we picked. Even then, he made sure we left with the deal best fit for us making sure we were happy with the experience.
I've never experienced any other dealership And their staff being as Pleasant And as caring As this dealership . Extremely polite And respectful when you take your vehicle for service.
Mario was great, very friendly and informative in regards to the vehicles sold there. Staff was friendly and dealer was very clean. Mario and staff will work with you to make a deal happen.
Car shopping is almost always a long, tedious, practically painful experience. However, this dealership made our experience pretty pleasant. Atmosphere is comfortable. Most importantly, our sales representative, Mario Garcia, was incredible. Helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and polite, yet very professional. We will be coming back for our next car, if only for him!
First of all, my 11-year-old son had a fantastic time playing basketball in the indoor basketball court while we dealt with boring deals and paperwork. Mario also made us feel welcome which so many dealerships in town did not do. He knew his inventory and worked to actually tell us about the car we were looking at. He allowed me to take my time on the test drive. These things sound typical but trust me, we had run into so many car salespeople who did not want to work, knew nothing about their inventory and had no interest in selling us a car. Mario was a breath of fresh air, as was the entire team at Russell Westbrook. I'd recommend this dealership to my friends!
The Best Salesman Mario was just perfect! Thank for your amazing customer service! You where Just the best! Amazing Deal from Amazing Man! Thank Mario Garcia I will come back for my next car!!
Came In to trade a Charger a purchase less than a year ago. Most dealers would of turned me away not Russell Westbrook Dodge. I appreciate all they done to accommodate my needs.
When arriving to dealership was greeted by management very good people made you feel comfortable got the best deal in valley hassle free They definitely work with you putting together a nice deal don't hesitate to stop in & Ralf to someone
The overall experience was amazing. The whole staff was attentive and genuinely interested in my needs. I would recommend this to my friends and family.
Nothing wrong with the location . Service was on point , no complaints .Team was very proactive and made sure they offered me refreshments while I waited which I appreciate.
Mario is a very understanding Man!!Help me & my husband work out the best deal for my family understood with the new baby on the way I was gonna need space and best deal!!! He Delivered so thank u Mario Garcia!!!

It took a bit longer than expected barganing the final deal that we were comfortable with. Had to speak with Rodrigo, sales rep then Bobby, sales manager to finalize the sale.
I want to say thank you to the greatest salesman,Mario Garcia. He is truly a car guy,no hassle answered all of my questions about our new vehicle. Because of Mario Garcia I will recommend him to the entire San Fernando Valley. Mario Garcia the best salesman !
Muchas Gracias a Mario y Rodrigor por mi primer Jeep!! Estoy super contenta!! Mario is muy Amable y Honesto!! Travajaron duro para agararme un negocio excellente! Recomiendo que pregunten por Mario o Rodrigo! Gracias !!

After weeks of an extensive and exhausting search throughout Los Angeles, I hopelessly walk into Russell Westbrook Dealer in Van Nuys and was gracefully greated by Mario Garcia. Mario assisted us in obtaining our new vehicle without the pressure or hassle that we had dealt with at other dealers. Shadi, Mario and his team provided excellent customer service beyond my expectations. Everything from the down to earth environment to the great deals provided. I would absolutely recommend purchasing a vehicle from them as I did. And we will be back for a second vehicle.
Mario was friendly, approachable, and very helpful in working with my family to find the perfect car. My family thanks you for being the first to approach them at the dealership so quickly.
Mario and the team really made me feel welcomed and was respectful at all times. He helped me find the right car for me and my needs and I got just what I wanted. His knowledge on the car encouraged me to make the right choices. The process was fast and painless.
Outstanding environment , helpful sales person, they are really good at helping you with your accommodations, shout out to Mario great guy explains literally everything and answers all your questions.
I walked into the dealership not expecting to buy, but I came out with a brand new Jeep and excellent service from Mario. He listened to everything I wanted in my new car, and he delivered. I recommend him if you are looking to buy your new or used car.
This dealership, Mario, his manager and Mirna all deserve 5 stars and 10/10 rating. From the moment my father, brother and I walked in we were greeted by Mario and felt absolutely welcomed. He had great energy from the start until the moment he shook my hand and handed me the keys to my new 2019 Jeep Compass. I felt that Mario, his manager and Mirna did their best to accommodate our needs. I am completely satisfied and feel safe in my new Jeep and so thankful Mario was able to find the perfect vehicle for me if not better. Will definitely recommend this place to others as my Dad did to me since he got his Jeep there as well and was very impressed. Thank you.
Everything was fine, the service and place very well, when you go there (dealer)you feel like home, all the cars it's amazing and nice (cars)for sure I",ll recommended to them
My sales rep Johnny was the best! When know one wanted to help me out including some of the managers that said we cannot help you with no money down with the monthly payment that I needed! Johnny came thru as well as the finance manager! Two thumbs up!
I had pleasure working with this salesman they have lots knowledge about what they doing Shaw and reza help a lot to choose the best car thank you having such salesman work over there
Thank you to Johnny he helped me get a 2020 Rubicon Gladiator. I will be referring him my friends and family. Ask for Johnny when you go to Russell Westbrook
Car came with scratches. It's been a month and they haven't fixed them.. The day of the sale process was good and informative...
We bought a Wrangler about a week ago from Johnny. He was great and took his time to show us a few pre owned options. He got us the best deal of all the Jeep dealers we had checked. We are super stoked with our new Jeep.
I recently purchased a Jeep Wrangler from Johnny and Gio and the customer service was outstanding! Great staff and selection of cars to pick from. Highly recommend!
very attentive, helpful, and showed me exactly what I wanted. Took us to a few lots to make sure we were able to view any of our options. Knew information about the vehicle as well. Great customer service and would recommend to make an appointment with him. Also made sure my car was filled up with gas and washed.
Thank you to Johnny for helping me and my grandpa with a Promaster cargo van for our business. He gave us the best deal of all the dealers around the area and he answered all of our questions. If your looking for a cargo van go see Johnny he knows his stuff.
I was finally able to get the Scat Pack Charger I have been waiting for and for the same payment I was paying before on a 2016 Lexus. He took his time and explained everything well and that's rare when you go to the dealer. Go see him for your car needs he's the ONE.
Came to Russell Westbrook like 2 days ago and the experience was not so good and I walked out after 7 hrs without getting a car but as I was walking out a sales manager Gio came up to me and noticed that I was irritated and was telling me to come back in so he can take care of me, he really did seem like he meant well but I was so agitated that I didn't really give him a chance ... Gio gave me his information and stated I will take care of you when you are ready. Today I decided to call Gio which was his day off and I told him that I was interested in seeing if he could get me the deal I wanted and Gio was nothing but amazing first of all he didn't care that it was his day off and he made an appointment to see me at 11 am and might I say he was there on time .... Gio and Johnny gave me all the information I asked for and explained it to me with full transparency they both had great communication skills and it made my car buying experience an awesome one compared to the one I had previously.
Si buscan carro nuevo o usado habla con Johnny y su gerente Gio. Son muy amables y me dieron buen deal en mi nuevo Ram 2020.
Big thank you to Johnny and his manager Gio for helping my wife and I get the truck we have been dreaming of. They were really patient and worked with us like we were their previous customers. Great great Job! We would definitely recommend them and the dealership.
My review is of the my salesperson Ozzy Ramirez who's relentless passion and persistence (in a good way) helped me achieve my goal of owning the new 2020 Big Horn Ram Night Edition! Ozzy went to great lengths to secure the deal, from looking at rebates, going back and forth with management, seeing what the buy back factor would be, to figuring out who would finance better...he was covering all angles and with ease and all in a timely manner. The guy is good at what he does and does it with a high level of transparency, he's receptive, responsive and I would recommend him for any of your needs for Westrbrook CJD all day...not only was his professionalism and competence at a high level, but he also delivered the car directly to my door, beyond stoked with my experience. Ozzy you are the man! Phil G
Overall 10/10 experience. Osiel Ramirez listened to what i was looking for and came through for me. He is definitely the person you want to work with on such an important purchase.
Very nice and friendly service. I would recommend them to my friends and family. They explain everything to me in detail. I would go back there again.
Avoid this Dodge dealership. I had a awfully bad experience. The sale person Ramirez and the Financial employee failed to explain the pre contract disclosure. I was charged 1499.00 for theft patrol, 500.00 for wax and 995.00 for moose optimal debt cancellation agreement. Also, the car I purchase had a scratch and the dealership did not fix the problem after four attempts. The only positive experience I remember at the dealership it was clean.
Went to Mr. Mark by recommendation of my cousin that work with him for several I just have to say thank you for your great service. I love my car.
Great service. Osiel was able to help me out, and listen to my situation carefully. Robert H from finance made the process go even smoother. Overall the deal went smooth.
Thank you Ozzie and Oscar for assisting me with my purchase. I'm so happy with my Jeep, they were so helpful and patient. Thank you so much for making the process so simple. I definitely recommend these two if you're looking to buy/lease a car. Already referring family and friends!
Had an overall positive experience. Everyone involved was to the point. I knew exactly what I wanted and we came into an agreement. It was really packed, it was Sunday evening, but they had people to check up on. Got a fair trade value on my car. Overall I recommend them.
Other than a somewhat significant delay getting into the finance department (busy day at the dealership) the sales process with Ozzy and Oscar was great.
Osiel and Mark Sellz made my car buying experience as fluid as one can ask. Full transparency and communication was top notch. Highly recommended through friends and family.
Very poor experience over all , not expected considering the big name of this Dealership . Ordered a new truck , once ordered I could not get a manger or any one back on the line for several weeks to follow up (maybe one time ) . Finally had to find number my self at FCA website and I was able to track my truck any time I needed . Why wasn't I given this number to begin with ? It stills puzzles me. Mind you , I when I actually got someone on the line I asked if there was a site or number I can track the progress , I was told no. Finally the time comes to get truck , I call dealer and tell THEM , hey truck is at train yard when is it coming in ? Why Im I doing their job ? again I'm still wondering . Finally they tell me " it will be here in 2 day we will rush it." Then the day of , they call me in the morning , "oh didn't make it in the morning shipment , it will be here by 4:30" . So I show up at 4:30 guess what ? its not there . Oh well ,after 3 hrs of "it will be just a minute please wait" and a pretty "relaxed" posted at a counter sales manager Reza I had to chase down to tell I had to go ,I finally I get the finance and paper work done and I'll pick up the day after the holiday . My sales person Ozzy was ok but I think he did the best he could with the resources he has or lack there of. The most professional person there was Max the finance person . By far you could tell this was is a different kind of caliber. Overall a bad experience for a person buying a 81,000 truck . Imagine building and ordering your dream truck ,one of the biggest purchases you will make . to deal with this incompetence, At the very least humor your customers, pretend you care. I know I should of gone to Hunter dodge in Landcaster they have 4.5 stars on google. I hear they say hundreds of cars a year, but the does not mean they provide quality service . If you're buying a car and don't care , go here . If you want actual service I suggest you look elsewhere.
Went to Russell Westbrook Jeep after seeing there online sales, I was hesitant to believe the hype about how great Black Friday deals where. My sales person Melvin assisted in helping me choose the right car for my family an I. I ended up purchase the Grand Cherokee once Melvin helped me weigh the pro and cons of the Grand Cherokee vs Wrangler for my person style of driving. Thank Russell Westbrook Jeep, especially Melvin for all the help!

Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit is the perfect match for the quirky comedic sense at Evanston's Piccolo Theatre which boasts (truthfully!) "small theatre, big laughs". Every time I have attended a play at this little performance space, I marvel that anyone could have possibly envisioned a theater here and then actually have done it.
Piccolo's production of Blithe Spirit is an especially fine example of working with daunting space limitations and ultimately capitalizing on them. Director Christopher Marino (Piccolo's Assistant Artistic Director) and his design crew must have had the time of their lives creating an elegant, formal, very British, somewhat stuffy living room and then deciding that the audience would actually be sitting in it throughout the performance.
As if that wasn't enough, when the house opened and we were seated, we were treated to the most delightful shtick! As we were making ourselves comfortable, the maid, impressively played by Genesee Spridco, at first gave the impression that she was frantically trying to put finishing touches on the set and get off as soon as possible. It soon became apparent that we were seeing her character, Edith, unfolding before us with all her tension, insecurity and clumsiness wrapped up in incredible ineptitude and indecision. She added so much to the show. Once we realized how good Spridco was at being Edith, we were poised on the edge of our seats waiting for more antics.
We were not disappointed. Joan McGrath's Madame Arcati, the spirited psychic/spiritualist in way over her head, made sure of that. Remember, we were sitting in the living room when she realized that the "genie was out of the bottle" and she was clueless how she did it and, importantly, how she could undo it. Intimate theater is so great for moments like this.
There we sat. An impish ghost was frolicking around the room, at least two jealous wives (we mustn't forget the dinner guests who expected only bland entertainment), at least two confused husbands, and, well, you already know about the maid.
The actors were perfectly cast and were perfect for their characters, but Joan McGrath played Madame Arcati exactly right and over the top. She could have been pompous and insufferable. Instead—within the limits of the play—she had a certain dignified credibility and a real talent for sensitive customer service. However, there was that one flare up…
The entire cast—including the beautiful, scheming ghost—kept us intrigued, entertained and curious to learn what would happen next. Don't worry. I'm not going to ruin it all and tell you. I will tell you this: Don't miss it! It's pure entertainment. Or as Piccolo Theatre says, "In this world where wit is a weapon but also a mask, truth and mystery unravel as Charles (Kevin Bishop) and Arcati (Joan McGrath) lift the spirits from limbo to levity."

PIKES PEAK — A 5-year-old girl was struck by a race car just before 10 a.m. Friday at the summit of Pikes Peak during practice for the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, police said.
Colorado Springs police spokeswoman Barbara Miller said the victim was not from Colorado Springs. The girl's father told police that the family was in the area on vacation.
A spokesman with Memorial Hospital said the girl was in good condition Friday afternoon and said the father confirmed she is a 5-year-old who will be 6 in a couple of weeks.
According to spectators at the summit Friday morning, a black and yellow Mustang had just crossed the finish line when it slid into a boulder near the track. Witnesses weren't sure if the 5-year-old girl was standing on the boulder or near the boulder when the crash occurred.
Racers are on the mountain Friday, practicing for t his weekend's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.

History of Free Games from an Old Game Developer
Well, relatively old that is… Online game portals, that is what they might be called back in the late 1990s.They were an oddity of the early internet. What made gaming possible on the internet during the early days was the Macromedia Flash Player. It was a browser plugin designed to allow animators to create dynamic pages during a time when websites were mostly static collections of text and images.
Flash games littered the internet, often with dark undertones as their creators shared their experiences good and bad through their work of creating games. The games were mostly single player and used animation heavily. The fast development spawned new genres not possible before like stick-man games and point and click games. Over the decades, the game development led to hundreds of thousands of games being made, and they were mostly free to play supported by ads.
In the past, we've seen a lot of browser plugins come and go. Flash was the most notable of them all. However, web browsers do most of the heavy lifting now. With one notable exception being the Unity3d game engine. That platform has adapted fast enough to still exist in an open format called WebGL. There is also another open standard used to develop modern web games and it's called HTML5. Although the technology behind the web games renaissance has changed a lot, the games remain popular.

ADDF and AFTD Award Grants Funding Research on Investigational Therapies to Treat Dementia
Investigational Therapies Targeting New Mutations and Atypical Proteins May Have Potential to Deepen Understanding of Frontotemporal Degeneration
The Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) and the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD) announced today the recipients of their seventh annual partnership awards program to accelerate drug discovery for frontotemporal degeneration (FTD), a devastating form of dementia characterized by profound changes in behavior, personality, language and movement. Jeffrey Rothstein, MD, of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Donald Lo, PhD, of Duke University Medical Center were each awarded $150,000 to conduct new research focused on developing novel drugs to treat FTD.
Dr. Rothstein is investigating therapies that target a newly discovered mutation in FTD and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients, a mutation believed to cause brain damage through a mechanism called RNA toxicity. These studies, being investigated in collaboration with ISIS Pharmaceuticals, will build on Dr. Rothstein's prior work and aims to develop biomarkers, or drug efficacy markers, for clinical trials.
Dr. Lo's novel investigational therapies aim to protect FTD patients against neurodegeneration caused by defective forms of the protein tau that are found in the brain. Through collaboration with Regulus Therapeutics, Dr. Lo's proprietary brain tissue screening platform will be combined with custom drug lead libraries for this project.
"We are so excited to provide early stage funding to Drs. Rothstein and Lo to further study their respective therapies to treat FTD," said Diana Shineman, PhD, director of Scientific Affairs for ADDF. "This new research will not only provide the scientific community with a deeper understanding of this under-studied disease, but also provide patients and caregivers with the hope for potential treatments for FTD."
"Through continuous support for research on FTD, we can raise awareness, develop effective treatments and ultimately prevent this brain disorder," said Nadine Tatton, PhD, scientific director for AFTD. "We are so proud to partner with ADDF to continue this award program for the seventh consecutive year and highlight some of the revolutionary studies being done to aid those who cope with this disease."
Since 2007, the ADDF/AFTD partnership program has provided more than $2.4 million toward 22 research projects around the world. FTD is the most common cause of dementia for people under the age of 60, most frequently affecting people between the ages of 40 and 65. As with Alzheimer's disease, there are currently no drugs to treat, prevent or cure FTD.
About the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD)
The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD) is a not-for-profit organization created in 2002, originally named The Association for Frontotemporal Dementias, to advocate for more funding into the causes and treatments for frontotemporal degeneration (FTD), as well as to provide caregivers and patients with a central place to find information and support. Mounting evidence that these debilitating disorders are more prevalent than was originally thought and the limited information and support available for caregivers and families, along with the lack of funding for research, inspired a group of dedicated caregivers, clinicians, and researchers to create an organization to address these unmet needs.

But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this? Job 12:7-9 (NIV)
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Revelation 4:11
