Ordered online, picked up in store, no hassle at all. I was honestly surprised at how smooth the process was to get one of these bad boys, considering the resurgence of Pokemon lately, I thought it would've sold out the minute it posted. It's a beauty and definitely an upgrade from my original switch. The OLED screen is amazing, I could never go back. I love the design on the dock and the colors of the joycons. Everything works as expected. 10/10 experience.

I’m not really into Pokemon games, I just got this because I like how it looks. The color scheme and graffiti art they put on everything is really nice. It looks better in-person, too. It’s a nice upgrade from my v1 Switch. It’s still tricky to find one of these, so be prepared to buy it immediately if you see it available.

One of the best handheld consoles for use, and also has a really great design and feel to it Plaza being an OLED having that extra color pop makes it even better

Me and my boyfriend had been looking to get the Pokémon oled switch since it launched but it was hard to come by so when we found it here we jumped on buying it. I couldn’t be happier! Now I will play Pokémon Scarlet! If I could give 10 stars I would cause I am just so happy with this purchase!!

Favorite Switch Variant

It’s the same exact model as the OLED model I believe so having the 64 gb storage capacity, larger kickstand, bigger screen, performs the same, etc. However, out of all the switch variants I like this the most based on the design and vibrant violet/scarlet colors. Love this gen’s legendaries so that’s also a plus. Some people don’t like the back of the switch because it looks so cluttered and I agree a bit but I can get past that fact. I like Pokémon so this is a great OLED variant.

I sold my OG Switch to get the Animal Crossing Edition, and a little over a year later I pick this one up and sell the Animal Crossing Edition. This is one beautifully designed console. The graffiti on the back of the machine is super fun to look at, whereas the back of the Animal Crossing one was just a bunch of glossy black shapes.
The dock on this Scarlet/Violet console is super nice, with the new legendaries and a glossy finish, and it just looks great on the entertainment center. I also love the joy cons that come with it, the bright red and purple with the two school symbols are a nice touch. Next to the Skyward Sword joy cons, these are my favorite.
The screen is super bright and vibrant, and the extra size is pretty great, too. I play mostly handheld with the occasional big screen tv sessions, and this OLED picture is gonna make me never play on TV again.
The performance is exactly like the basic OG Switch, though, it's no more powerful or smooth than what we've had for years now. But it doesn't matter when the console is as fun as it is.

My best Best Buy purchase ever. Was stalking the website for hours for the product’s pre orders to go live and I managed to snipe it within the 5 minute window they weren’t sold out. Had to send a joycon in for repair 8 months later but that’s just the nature of joycons

Absolutely love how this Switch looks with the Pokémon design on it and the OLED screen is definitely an improvement from the original Switch screen. Colors are much more vivid making the games look great on this. Just wish they opted to give it a little more power! Still a fabulous gaming console.

I was lucky enough to buy this item without having to preorder it thanks to Best Buy! The switch looks even better in person and the dock is absolutely gorgeous! This was an upgrade for me as I owned the original switch model and I can say that the OLED screen is noticeably better than the original switch screen. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and would probably buy another if I could find any in stock! 10/10 purchase!

Although it is just a normal Nintendo Switch OLED for $10 extra dollars, it’s totally worth it. Just about everything on the Switch is covered with Pokémon. The JoyCons are cool, though for some people Orange and Purple may not look as good. I feel like it’s totally worth it if you’re a Pokémon fan. I just wish the games could be bundled with the consoles more often.

I absolutely love the detail on the back of the switch! I love the upgrade in the screen, both in size and quality of the picture. Love the improved kickstand in the back (unlike the dinky one on the back of the regular switch). Sadly, does not come with the game, but for only $10 more than the original OLED I dont expect it too, worth the $10 more if you can grab one!

This thing is absolutely gorgeous, I can’t stop staring at the beautiful graffiti style artwork in the back and the beautiful orange and purple joycons. Also, small detail that they did was to make the lanyards that come with the joy cons purple and orange too. Great touch!
