The Nintendo Switch console has seen a lot of Pokemon games which mostly borrow the usual element of competitive gaming from the previous installments. Although they are few as of writing, you can check each of them to know if they are worth your money.

'Pokemon Legends: Arceus'

Earlier this year, Nintendo surprised us when GameFreak released "Pokemon Legends: Arceus." Unlike the previous Pokemon games, this title offers fresh game mechanics to the fans.

The main setting of the game is set in the ancient Sinnoh region, where you are instructed to unravel the whole location in search of interesting Pokemon from the past.

The turn-based element is preserved in the game, but a more dynamic setup has left a lasting impression on the community. Aside from adding an ancient Pokeball, you can enjoy various battle modes depending on your preference, per Imore.

'Pokemon Sword & Shield'

If you're into the mainline mechanics, then you can try "Pokemon Sword & Shield." Although it's almost three years since its launch, it's still the go-to option for gamers who want to practice competitive gaming.

The theme of this game is centered on the UK region, which is known as Galar in-game. You can catch a lot of new Pokemon, including Dreepy, Rookidee, Rolycoly, and more. There are also new regional variants for the three legendary birds.

'Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee'

For fans who grow up playing "Pokemon Go," then "Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee" could be your best pick. This video game is an improved version of the classic "Pokemon Yellow," which will take you back to the Kanto region.

It features unique gameplay that allows you to pass a Joy-con to your friend so you can catch Pokemon together. In this game, you cannot just simply attack a wild Pokemon since Niantic's AR game inspires it.

You can choose either Pikachu or Eevee for your journey. Along your way, you can dress up your character and even your starter mon. They can also learn exclusive moves once you move forward from town to town.
