A new Nintendo Switch console has just been announced – perfect for Pokémon fans, it’s available to pre-order now.

The Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet edition of the Switch OLED takes the best version of the console yet and gives it a fresh coat of paint – much like the Splatoon 3 edition, which was released in August.

The Switch OLED boasts a 7in OLED screen and the limited-edition design features detailed illustrations of two legendary Pokémon, Koraidon and Miraidon, on the dock as well as two coloured joy-cons that coincide with each of the games’ namesakes.

If you haven’t heard about Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, all you need to know is they are the next mainline monster-catching titles. They will take trainers to a new region heavily influenced by the Iberian peninsula and are scheduled for release on Friday 18 November, and we certainly can’t wait to get our hands on them.
