Further, there would be many illustrations of new Pokemon, including the legendary Koraidon and Miraidon, at the back of the console. Even the Switch Dock would have multiple Pokemon illustrations on it. However, it isn’t the first time Nintendo has released a special console, as they released a Splatoon-themed Switch a few days back.
Fan reaction to these new Pokemon-themed Nintendo Switch
Nintendo fans showered their love for this new Switch based on the upcoming Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. Some fans claimed not to care much about the game but would love to buy this cool-looking console. Some fans even claimed this Pokemon-themed Switch looks better than the Splatoon-themed Switch released a few days ago. Let’s look at some of the fan reactions to this special Switch.
It’s real pretty. The good news is that I don’t really care about Pokémon that much, so I’m not tempted to buy this. The bad news is all these special edition OLEDs lately practically guarantees that there will be one for BOTW 2.

I wonder if there's people that just got the Splatoon 3 one that wish they would've waited. I'm fine with my plain white one for now. They'd have to do a bad ass lookin Zelda one for me to buy another one.
