If I wanted yet another open world game, I'd get Skyrim. BotW was enough of an open world burn out (I'd rather see Let's Go be Pokemon's future than BotW at this point in time).
Pokemon should go for Xenoblade 1 or 2-like worlds anyway. Linear progression, but big expansive levels to come back to after you passed them by. Not true open world, but a nice mix of the two.
Metroid, Xenoblade, EarthBound shill
I run a YouTube/Twitch channel for fun. Check me out if you want to!
Please let me know before you send me a FC request, thanks.
@Tsurii Well, in terms of setting. I take fantasy over a realistic setting any day! I'd be surprised if RDR2 lives up to the narrative and quests in TW3. I do intent to play it, so we shall see.

Try like this.
Pokemon + Minecraft + Xenoblade + Animal Crossing = Pokemon World Builders
I think RDR2 looks great, tbh. One of the few games on other platforms to actually really catch my interest. Unfortunately it's going to be too demanding for the Win 2 handheld, and that really limits its appeal for me because it means I would only be able to play it on the TV. And I already know how that's going to go. Play for a few days, and then the weekend comes, and bring Switch to work, play Monster Hunter Gen Ultimate and Starlink and Dark Souls and Valkyria Chronicles... get sidetracked, come home, and keep playing all those games I'm really in to, sending the TV-bound game to the backlog pile.
But, I'm gonna try to make time for it. I made time for MH World after all. Speaking of which, in hindsight, it was only half as enjoyable as MHGU is. Despite all the great things it did like graphics and open maps, once you got beneath skin deep it really fell short in comparison... I didn't realize how much more I like MHGU until putting 100 hours into the localized version, which has far far far more quality of life improvement than it's given credit for, some of which isn't even in World- from disabling traps to cut tails showing on the map, holding A to carve/gather, speed crafting, transmog, field pouch, skipping meal and death animations, playing as a felyne, not waiting 2 minutes to turn in a paw pass ticket, sending items back mid hunt, styles, arts (some of which are identical to items in World like the health booster), not to mention all the free DLC quests and item packs, which basically removed all tedium from the game, which is great because the one big fault of MHGU is a slow early game. But once you get past the early game, oh my goodness. The later part of the game is just phenomenal. A month ago I was telling people World was better, and now I've done a complete 180. And, I went back and fired up MH3U on Wii U to show my bro, and I couldn't believe how inferior the graphics looked compared to MHGU, and how slow the controls felt and how bad the framerate was. In my mind's eye it looked just as good as MHGU on Switch, and played just as good. But after going back and playing an arena quest in 3 Ultimate, I've realized it's ancient in comparison to MHGU. Night and day, with differences that actually matter and are hard to re-adjust to. Like, the formula hadn't been perfected yet. In MHGU, it may not be on a power console and may have separate areas, but the gameplay is just immaculate. Absolutely spot on.
But I'm getting off on a tangent. Anytime I say the word "Monster Hunter" just be prepared for a good paragraph and a half of rambling.
RDR2 looks great. I'm just not sure I'm going to stick with it. Too many great games on Switch to play.

Tbh, whenever I see 'Jaxon' and 'Monster Hunter' on the same page I just write the whole page off and jump straight to the next one
On RDR2, I've avoided everything about it because my primary objective for getting a PS3 a couple of years ago was to play RDR1 and am yet to finish it, or even get 50% in, so I know nothing of how RDR2 is looking, but as much as anything I imagine the hype is just because it's Rockstar's next game after GTA5, so the industry is obliged to hype it because what's bigger than the next Rockstar's game currently? Nothing else comes close.
Switch = €330; Diablo III = €60. The bundle is €390, so you're getting a protection case for free. It's hardly a deal, but not more expensive than if you were to buy everthing separately.
@Cobalt The MSRP for the Switch is €330, and €60 for Diablo III. That doesn't stop retailers from charging less; however, I fail to see why they should change the price of the bundle because of that. I'm sure you can always find a cheaper price for the separate items if you hunt down some good deals.
$300 Switch, $60 game, $11 for great hardcase (big 2nd storage area, 20 game slots) on Amazon
= $371 cost = $407.10 + $40 any 2nd game + 10% sales tax (Alabama) = $451.10
$400 bundle + 10% sales tax (Alabama) = $440.00 - $407.10 = +$32.90 saved and better setup
or pay $11 more and get lots more
I don't care about a made in China, $2 case with a symbol on it or a plastic figure or a number of things some of these bundles come with, the extras are usually worthless anyway and will be on a counter/shelf for a month then a closet for the next 5+ years, yah, save me that extra money so I can buy another game, offset cost of some other accessories, ect, hell, I found some very tiny Bluetooth transmitters that hook into the 3.5mm headphone jack that sit almost flush on the Switch, so you can use Bluetooth headsets for less than $10-$15 (solves a huge issue with a lot of players), yah, buy separate, get more and better
