Best Pokémon Games for Nintendo Switch?

-

Hey everyone! I’ve been a Pokémon enthusiast since childhood but I took a break after Pokémon Sun. Occasionally, I jump back into my old favorites, but I’m now considering getting a Pokémon game for my Nintendo Switch. I’m looking for something that doesn’t fully adhere to nostalgia, like Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, but rather a game that feels fresh and enjoyable. Any recommendations?

For me, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the way to go! It has a unique approach to the formula and really changes up the gameplay while still keeping the Pokémon vibe.

If you haven’t tried Pokémon Scarlet and Violet yet, I totally recommend them! They have a good balance between being approachable and offering enough challenges to keep you hooked. Plus, the open-world elements are super fun!

You might enjoy New Pokémon Snap! It’s a different vibe than the traditional games but super relaxing and fun capturing Pokémon in their natural habitats.

I personally love Pokémon Violet! It’s been a blast, and I’m planning on getting Legends: Arceus soon. I’ve heard great things about it!
