Pokémon Legends: Arceus may be the latest (and most highly anticipated) Pokémon game in the series to be released on the Nintendo Switch, but Switch owners have been treated to quite a few Pokémon games since the console’s launch. If you want to catch up before the Pokémon Legends: Arceus release, there’s no time like the present.
What’s been exciting about the Pokémon Switch games is the variety. There are remakes that bring new mechanics to classic games, two very different fighting games, returns to iconic spin-offs of the past, and explorations into new genres and game styles.
It’s fair to say that these games make up some of the best Switch RPGs, but even the non-RPG games here have been very well made and deserve a spot in your library. If you’re new to the series, the games on the Switch actually span most of the series history, making it rather a good console to own if you’re a new fan who wants to catch up.
