So I’m undecided, when the new Pokemon game comes out I will need to buy a second Switch for my wife so we can play it together.

On one hand, I could buy her the upgraded regular version, and that would be fine. But it’s another $100, and we don’t really need two of them that can connect to the TV.

I’m leaning toward the lite for a couple of reasons - the first is that she drops things constantly. Her phone has to be in an otterbox, and thank god Nintendo built the 2DS like a tank. The removable joycons and larger size of the Switch might be too fragile (and expensive ). Furthermore, the lite might fit in her purse, but the regular one most certainly will not. And this case would do a great job of keeping the joysticks from being snapped off, if nothing else.

But on the other hand... it’s only $100 more, and it comes with another dock (I already have two, but I might buy another TV relatively soon). Plus that’s an extra set of joycons, which will work with whatever. And if she did want to use it with the TV, she could and she would be able to play her own saves from her Switch.

But on the other other hand... I was really hoping a Switch Pro would be available for Pokemon. I would upgrade mine, and she would have my old one. If I buy another reguilar Switch, then if/when a Pro comes out, it will seem kinda stupid to buy it. But if we just get a lite, that’s $100 saved toward buying a Pro, and not feeling so bad about it.

I guess any version of the system could be resold, but Gamestop is a scam, and anything else is a hassle.
