On March 3, 2017, Nintendo released the Nintendo Switch, which was the first ever hybrid home console and handheld gaming system. With Pokemon having been previously a handheld exclusive series (or at least for its main series games), this meant that for the first time ever, the main series would be releasing for a home console. Since then we have gotten four games, Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee, Sword/Shield, Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl, and Legends Arceus. And we've seen massive changes in the series throughout these games, both good and bad. Pokemon in the overworld. The ability to catch Pokemon without battling. Open zone design. Dexit. DLC. Outsourcing games to other studios. Prequels. Overhauls of battling mechanics. So what kind of legacy do you think the jump to the Switch has had on the series? Has it been overall positive or negative? Do you think the games are overall better or worse than they were on handhelds?
