what is the best Pokémon game on the switch (in your opinion) and why
I don't have a switch but my friend does and although she loves the Pokémon tcg she's never played a Pokémon video game so I'm looking at getting her a Pokémon game to play, any advice appreciated
honestly, let's go eevee is what i have the craving to go back and replay every so often. the core gameplay of catching pokemon is fun, it motivates me to complete the pokedex, and shiny hunting doesn't take forever.
Oh, forgot the Let's GO games in my other comment. They are the same game, just your starter is either Pikachu or Eevee depending on what version you get. They are a sort of retelling of Red/Blue/Yellow. I had fun with it, but it is pretty much just Pokemon Yellow HD.
if you've played pokemon go it's a good way of bridging the gap, but if you've never played any pokemon games i'd probably suggest sun/moon for the 'core' experience.
