While I find the idea of the era of traditional handhelds going poof last year I choose to get a new 3DS instead of a switch (my SO gave me the option) because I was a bit apprehensive/doubtful about the switch.

However, after seeing what is being done with other games and hearing feedback from friends/relatives (mostly good things) I'm quite excited. I hope pokemon is taken to a "next" level so to speak and totally stoked to see what games will come.

Also I'd really like to get a Let's go version, I've been trying to get my SO to play pokemon for YEARs (he didn't have access to it in his country growing up) and he thinks pokemon is silly (except PoGo). I'm hoping the integration with Pogo and the multiplayer feature will be enticing enough for him to at least try it...
