Same as with my DS: keep it for ease of trading between pokemon games, and as a backup for if the "Switch 2" ever breaks. Plus, it's the special Pikachu & Eevee pattern, so I'd never want to get rid of it even if it stopped working.
@Luigi05 Been a while so not 100% sure but I remember some scenes of kissing were cut in Dragon's Race to the Edge, as was a bit where a child is slapped in Ronja the Robber's Daughter. Dragonball Super and Dragon Quest: The Adventures of Dai apparently had loads of edits too, though I haven't watched those so can't vouch for them personally.

Oh yes, I was around for those days. Those were the absolute worst.
Oh you don't have a local GAME store? Then too bad, no celebi for you.
Oh and since you missed celebi, no zorua either.
See this cool new mythical pokemon keldeo? You love it right? Well, you don't have a local store so tough luck. Maybe you'll get one next gen.
Maybe it made them feel more special for those people who got them. All I saw was being barred from my 2nd and 3rd favourite mons all because they didn't want to do a wifi event.
In person events for gift pokemon need to die. I'm so happy most of the event gifts have moved over to Wifi now. Also, why do only US/CA gets this D:< Bring it to the rest of the world too!
How dare you call the 2DS ugly! It's beautiful! No awkward hinge between the screens, nice big shoulder buttons, no marks on the side of the top screen from the rim digging in while closed. Perfection.
The only way I'd buy an all-digital console is if that was the only option. (for example, the Steam Deck) Though if the option is there then all the better. More choices can only be a good thing, like the Switch Lite. I'll never buy one, but for the people who only want a handheld it's the better option.
Would be interested if I didn't already have 5. Wish they'd do like steam sometimes does where if you have part of a bundle already then they take the price of the items you already own off.
"Hey guys, we aren't shutting down the cheaper pokemon boxes just yet, but we advise you sub to our overpriced replacment as soon as possible so we can fleece more money out of you."
OK, pokemon Bank and redownloading digital games were my main worries, but it seems those will still be safe for now. Ending online play sucks, and games like Tri-Force Heroes and Splatoon will be practically unplayable now. Hopefully they'll get ports to the Switch 2...
Yeah no. If piracy is the reason to not have backwards compatibility, then as soon as the switch2 is cracked, they've shot themselves in the foot long term. If they want to sell the same games again on the new console then it's pure greed. Old Playstation games can be played on Sony's new console. So can Xbox on Microsoft's. So can PC. Imagine if a new model of the Steam deck required you to rebuy all your steam games to run on it. If nintendo has no backwards compatibility at this point then it'll really hurt their sales.

Re: Soapbox: Ganondorf's Villainous Intro In Ocarina Of Time Is One Of Gaming's Best
I dunno, I prefer Ganondorf's intro in the Wind Waker myself.
Re: A New Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Distribution Event Has Been Announced
Free pokemon is always good. Guess it'll help if anyone wants to RP being a Star Grunt.

Re: Pokémon Horizons Anime Is Coming To BBC iPlayer Next Month (UK)
Yay, finally! Though it's unfortunate that it's CBBC, since they often censor random parts of kids shows... Hopefully nothing will be cut from this.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet DLC The Indigo Disk Gets December Release Date
Awesome! Only a month left until I can use a Fennekin again! :3
Guess this is a good reason to get around to playing the Teal Mask now then...
