Nintendo and The Pokemon Company released trailers for the Let's Go! series of games. They showed off battle gameplay, interations, and surprisingly, Mega-Evolutions will be a part of Pokemon Let's Go! games.

The addition of Mega Evolutions are an interesting choice as that wasn't originally introduced until Generation VI (Pokemon X and Y), however there is precedent of The Pokemon Company going back and revamping a past generation to include mega evolutions as was the case in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire (Gen III).

Aside from the Pokemon that were teased in the trailers, other Pokemon that can Mega Evolve from Gen I are Pinsir, Alakazam, Gengar, Aerodactyl, Beedrill, Pigeot, Slowbro and Mewtwo. There is no indication that these Pokemon will have their mega evolutions in Lets Go! but we can maybe assume that they will give all possible Pokemon their Mega Evolved forms. 

Pokemon Let's Go! Pikachu and Pokemon Lets Go! Eevee will be available on the Nintendo Switch November 16th, 2018.
