you can play the zelda on a wiiU if you really want (which are much cheaper, shit console though with with very few good games)

pokemon is basically the same game since we were kids. since i played pokemon blue on a gameboy colour when i was like 8, honestly. with a fresh lick of paint. and those were dope but they were handheld games. there hasn't been a true home console-level entry for the pokemon genre and there might not be. soooooo, probably not worth it unless you really want to trade with your friends? which i'm guessing you don't.

play some hacked roms on a flashcart with ds/3ds if you really want a pokemon fix. preferably the harder ones.

switch is gimmicky. catered to casuals and die-hard nintendoids with their unique IPs. tbh, all the current/last generation consoles are super underwhelming. i have a ps4 and there is only like, half a dozen stellar games on it (unless i'm sleeping heavily on some gems).

don't buy it. i wouldn't -- not until it is like half the price or they release a truly better version (the new regular model is marginally better on performance, the handheld only switch is a regression/budget-not-really-budget model).

find something better to do with your time.
