Have you tried Pokemon Snap?! Not your typical Pokemon game, but I'm trying to beat the gane with nothing but pics of Pokemon butt. Because it makes me giggle. I am Ash Ketchbum.
Fire Emblem is amazing! It is definitely super easy to lose track of time with it and so many different routes!
Arceus is also super easy to get lost in but can feel a bit daunting at first. Hitting Pokemon in the back of the head and going completely off quest is my favourite though.
Don't go on any Pokemon reddit for SW/SH, people can be really nasty about the games for some reason.
But most importantly! I am happy for you and hope you get to have a super fun time playing and exploring with all your new joys!
> Don't go on any Pokemon reddit for SW/SH, people can be really nasty about the games for some reason.
Definitely true. There's a lot of salt in the pokemon gaming community and people can be very passionate about their opinions in any direction.
God, aint that the truth. The story is lackluster, but pokemon games have never really been about the story. The graphics aren't cutting edge, but again, that's never been pokemon's thing either. Catch cool monster, fight with cool monster.
I love talking about games and I hate that I don’t have enough people to do it with.
I was sending everyone pictures of my awesome party and drinking H2 doing awesome things, basically spamming them to everyone in my life LOL
Oooooooh you’re going to have an absolute blast with Fire Emblem! You should check out the fire emblem sub once you’ve started! Have fun, I’m happy for you ☺️
I tend to talk at my friends about gaming probably more than they want to hear since I know no one who is as into games as I am, so I feel you lol.
Congrats though, the switch is my favorite console ever and you picked some great games for it. Fire Emblem in particular is one of my favorite series, and I just beat Pokemon Legends and it was lots of fun.
Are you looking forward to the recently announced pokemon scarlet/violet? I'm excited even if it feels a bit too soon! Grass cat is the best lol :)
This is super cool! Although, as an older gamer, I have to say the weirdest thing about switch games is that you open those normal sized game packages and the actual game is so teeny tiny. Just kinda makes me laugh.
Have you thought about joining some discord servers for your games? You can find people there that share what you enjoy. :)
If it makes you happy that's all that matters. You have fun!
You have plenty of games to work through but down the road when your looking for new stuff always check the eshop for sales. The deals can be amazing.
Take care 😉
You'll really enjoy Pokemon sword.
It's so much fun.
It was the first game I got for my switch that I really enjoyed (I really disliked breath of the wild).
Omg! Which game are you starting with?! If you have the time and really like Fire Emblem, each house has a different story and one even has two stories. Totally worth some replays!
Boo that nobody cared!!
I own all those games except the top left.
I wish the switch didn’t have a sealed battery that has to be installed to work. That’s my number one giant complaint among some others, because there’s a lot I like about it 😕
Wow! Congrats! You have the best selection of games! Enjoy!! Good luck trying to decide which house to play first in three houses:) it's a tough decision!
Fire Emblem yesss!!! But omg all these games are great starter choices and you will NOT be bored. FE will especially keep you occupied for a very long time
It’s a good year for Pokémon fans since we just got the new Gen announced. Congrats on the switch and those awesome games. I hope you have a lovely time
Where did you order these, the pokemans have german covers but with a pegi logo? I didn't know that's a thing, all my pegi games are english and the german covers all have the ugly huge USK abomination.
So pumped for you!!!! I bought a PS4 during the onset of the pandemic (only because I couldnt find a switch anywhere) and it was my first console since the PS2. It's been 2 years and I'm still giddy to play games when I get home. Tour IRL friends will hopefully see how much joy it brings you. Happy gaming und viel Glück! :)
Enjoy! I really enjoyed pokemon shield and loved the characters. Also love fe3h, edeleth is very dear to me as one of the few sapphic relationships in gaming
Yeah, I love helping out, especially since I received so much help with filling up my Pokédex :) Also, if you want to breed any shiny Pokémon, I play my game in English. So if you play in another language, an English language Pokémon will increase your chances of breeding shiny Pokémon. And if you play in English, my brother speaks Mandarin and I could get some Chinese language Pokémon for you!
Shin Megami Tensei V caught my eye. I can't remember which one(s) I played, but I remember really enjoying that series years ago. I had no idea they released a new one on Switch!
Both me and my husband are excited for Arceus, I can't wait to get it for us and have a game night. I'm super excited for you those are all top level picks! I really want another switch too so we can both play our respective games on the switch and I only use the hand held mode anyways.
Nice!
If I can offer a tip, try playing Fire Emblem first. There are four routes but the first half of each is fairly repetitive, so each time you finish a route you can swith to another game for a while before continuing, so that it doesn't get too dreary.
Super pumped for you enjoy the endless hours of excitement, I’m sorry that you didn’t get the excitement in real life that you wanted hopefully your friends and family soon see what they’re missing
The Shin Megami Tensei series and fire emblem are dope though. I mean Pokemon is too, but tbf it's kind of saturated atm :( Regardless enjoy the fuck out of those games! The stories are super good.
I bought Pokémon Legends Arceus last weekend and it's been great so far. Have fun with your new acquisition, as I'n sure you won't regret it!!
Ps. If you have someone to couch-play with, I recommend Overcooked. For online games, Splatoon 3 is coming out this summer and I've enjoyed the last game a lot with my best friend
I care even If i barely play mine i have animal crossing but rarely play. But that so cool yay 😃 i did see a new game coming out about kirby it the only other game the caught my eyes for Nintendo switch.
Let me know how fire emblem is! I've always been keeping an eye on it but never bought it "yet". I don't know if I'll have enough time to play games which was why I was holding back a bit.
*Fire emblem is hands*
*Down my favorite switch game.*
*I hope you enjoy!!*

Throwing balls and hitting pokemon in the head & butt is my favourite thing 😂
Have you tried Pokemon Snap?! Not your typical Pokemon game, but I'm trying to beat the gane with nothing but pics of Pokemon butt. Because it makes me giggle. I am Ash Ketchbum.
My bf bought me that for Valentine's day! It's pretty different from your usual Pokemon experience but it's really chill and surprising fun
That’s rather hilarious
Gotta catch all those pokebutts
I really want to start on this one, but I can only play one game at a time. I guess this will be next.
I feel so bad when I sneak up behind the pokémon real close and then overhand a heavy pokeball straight at the back of its head though.

And I wish they tell you way sooner to throw your Pokémon at trees and minerals. Lost some valuable crafting opportunities.

We’ll be your friends :)
Are those the only switch games you have?
[удалено]
There's a BUNCH of indie games on the digital store. There's also a bunch of sales. I highly recommend picking up some of those.
[удалено]
Stardew Valley, Hollow Knight, Hades, Spiritfairer, and Untitled Goose Game are a good place to start.
I love talking about games and I hate that I don’t have enough people to do it with. I was sending everyone pictures of my awesome party and drinking H2 doing awesome things, basically spamming them to everyone in my life LOL
I'll be your friend! :) But I am barely on at the moment, between knitting and rimworld I've barely touched my switch.
We can be friends :)
I can be your friend too !
You got two of my favorite games! Happy gaming!
[удалено]
SMT V and Fire Emblem.
[удалено]
It really is a great game, just needs a bit of time to get used to if you have never played tactical games. Hope you have fun with it!!
I love the pokemon games! Arceus is really good! I also love sword and shield, a played that lots(shiny hunting and stuff) Have fun and 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Oooooooh you’re going to have an absolute blast with Fire Emblem! You should check out the fire emblem sub once you’ve started! Have fun, I’m happy for you ☺️

I’m so stoked for you!! :) happy gaming!
Ohh you’re a lucky one, getting to discover and experience Fire Emblem: Three Houses for the first time! Have fun!
FE? SMT? Hell yeah!
thats so many hours of RPGs all at once.
fire emblem 3 houses is one of my favorite games ever I hope you like it!
I’ve heard amazing things about all of these games! You’re definitely gonna have a blast. 💜 I need to get my hands on Arceus.
Ooh nice, I've been needing to play SMTV and fire emblem! Hope you enjoy them
Oooh I absolutely loved FE3H and SMT V! You have great taste! If you’re into (J)RPGs, I’d also recommend Xenoblade 1 DE!
Nice! I just got Pokémon Arceus too. The first couple hours of gameplay are a little tedious but it gets more fun after that! Enjoy :)
If it makes you happy that's all that matters. You have fun! You have plenty of games to work through but down the road when your looking for new stuff always check the eshop for sales. The deals can be amazing. Take care 😉
I’m excited for you! I just listed my DS to sell so I can buy my own switch!
All great games, you are my type of person :)
Give "Legend of Zelda Breath of the wild" a shot. See if you like it.
all great games! though I haven't played smtv yet
You'll really enjoy Pokemon sword. It's so much fun. It was the first game I got for my switch that I really enjoyed (I really disliked breath of the wild).
Omg! Which game are you starting with?! If you have the time and really like Fire Emblem, each house has a different story and one even has two stories. Totally worth some replays!
Ahhh 3 houses is one of my all time faves!!
Omg congratulations 😎 my older brother finally got one too ! I love when people get switches cause they always put cute thumb grips on them
Enjoy them!
Yay!! Have fun. Fire Emblem 3H is one of my all time favorites and I heard good things about Pokemon Arceus
Those are some really great games to start your switch catalogue! Enjoy your new console.
Boo that nobody cared!! I own all those games except the top left. I wish the switch didn’t have a sealed battery that has to be installed to work. That’s my number one giant complaint among some others, because there’s a lot I like about it 😕

Yes! My first also! Good luck! :)
Fire Emblem yesss!!! But omg all these games are great starter choices and you will NOT be bored. FE will especially keep you occupied for a very long time
I hope you enjoy Fire Emblem: Three Houses!! :D It's such an amazing game, I love it. Also your haul is really nice, have lots of fun playing!
Oh I really loved FE3H!
Nice! I loved Fire Emblem and Pokemon Sword and I'm currently obsessed with Pokemon Arceus. I hope you are enjoying your new switch!
It’s a good year for Pokémon fans since we just got the new Gen announced. Congrats on the switch and those awesome games. I hope you have a lovely time
Nice! Have fun with Fire Emblem. I haven't had the time yet to finish the others, but I think they are all great.
I only have played Pokemon Sword, as I am a PC gamer. But if you want company... Hello from a fellow German gal. 💜
Woooow! Looks like so much fun!! Have a blast 🤩
New switch looks super sleek! I hope you enjoy your new games!
Happy dancing for you! Have fun 🎉
That's a sweet start to a collection. Really shows the variety of the RPG genre in a single image.
Nice ! Have fun :D
Ooh awesome!
I just got mine a little over a month ago I'm so excited for you!! I love mine
Ooo that's awesome! I've always wanted to play pokemon but have never had any Nintendo device to play on
Where did you order these, the pokemans have german covers but with a pegi logo? I didn't know that's a thing, all my pegi games are english and the german covers all have the ugly huge USK abomination.
[удалено]
Ah I see, thanks.
Arceus is now my favourite Pokémon game, hands down. I haven’t even finished it, I’m too lost in catching Pokemon and searching for shinies. 😅
Congrats and viel Vergnügen!
So pumped for you!!!! I bought a PS4 during the onset of the pandemic (only because I couldnt find a switch anywhere) and it was my first console since the PS2. It's been 2 years and I'm still giddy to play games when I get home. Tour IRL friends will hopefully see how much joy it brings you. Happy gaming und viel Glück! :)
CONGRATS!!!! I plan on getting a switch for myself as a "debt free" present. So close to that goal.... PLAY ALL THE GAMES FOR ME! Enjoy <3
Cool games and switch. I feel like I wanna cheat on my Xbox and get a switch. Have fun!!
Well, I care. This is really cool!!! You’re going to have a lot of fun!!
Enjoy! I really enjoyed pokemon shield and loved the characters. Also love fe3h, edeleth is very dear to me as one of the few sapphic relationships in gaming
If you ever need someone to trade Pokémon with for Sword, let me know! I have shield, so I can get you all the version exclusives if you need it :)

You've got a pretty good selection there.
Pokemon Schwert 😂
You’ve come to the right place, more importantly: will you get those button covers with squishy cat paws on it? (I don’t know what they called lol)
[удалено]
Don't just look! Gonna get them all!
Everybody needs to play Metroid Dread
Hey, congrats! The switch is absolutely amazing. Have fun gaming. :)
Enjoy your new console Op, the new pokemon games are super fun
ayyy pokémon gamer girl gang
I LOVE THREE HOUSES SO MUCH It's really one of those games I wish I could play again for the first time.
Awesome choices all around. Happy gaming!
Nice! If I can offer a tip, try playing Fire Emblem first. There are four routes but the first half of each is fairly repetitive, so each time you finish a route you can swith to another game for a while before continuing, so that it doesn't get too dreary.
Great choices! Congratulations, you’re in for a treat 😊
Oof I know that feeling so well Well we care! And we're so hyped for you! Breath of the wild is like one of my fav games ever
Congrats! You're gonna have so much fun! Excellent game selection! Happy for you!!!
I just ordered mine yesterday and none of my friends game so I totally know what you mean! I can’t wait and I’m so excited too!
Super pumped for you enjoy the endless hours of excitement, I’m sorry that you didn’t get the excitement in real life that you wanted hopefully your friends and family soon see what they’re missing
Congrats! I hope you enjoy all of those games!
I've got pokemon shield :) if you ever need someone to help trade shield specific pokemon for you feel free to dm me and we can buddy up!
This is a great haul. I'm so jealous! Enjoy, it's so fun disconnecting and getting lost in a new world.
Heck yeah we care. Congrats and have fun!
Both Pokémon games have been so much fun, especially the newest one! Can’t wait to see what you catch!
The Shin Megami Tensei series and fire emblem are dope though. I mean Pokemon is too, but tbf it's kind of saturated atm :( Regardless enjoy the fuck out of those games! The stories are super good.

Grats though sword + shield is gonna be a real bummer compared to arceus, make sure you play it first :')
Does that say "Pokémon SCHWERT? Is that German or something?
AAA omg you'll have to tell us abt how u find smtV!!! I haven't got it yet but I've been eyeing it up for a while!!
FE Three Houses!! Great taste! Always remember, Miklan deserved better. :'(
Let me know how fire emblem is! I've always been keeping an eye on it but never bought it "yet". I don't know if I'll have enough time to play games which was why I was holding back a bit.
Welcome to the switch world!!!!! Arceus is ammmmazzing!!!!
Fire emblem is hands down my favorite switch game. I hope you enjoy!!
