I've got rather large pockets on most of my clothes. Granted, if I ended up with clothes that are too tight for even this New 3DS I have, I'll put it back into my bag if needed. No way am I gonna fit a Nintendo Switch screen by itself in there, though - I'd rather it gather dust from my bag rather than my pocket.
As for my "personal feelings" on the Switch being a handheld... Well, the kinds of games I've seen that work well for a handheld setting just don't seem to be there, aside from maybe Breath of the Wild - and even then, I think the sort of singleplayer experiences that are being brought to the table require quite a bit of commitment - more than I'd want to do from a typical handheld game. The view is influenced by the way I typically play games - for a handheld title it's much easier to just snap open my 3DS, play it for a bit (mostly Pokémon) or play a level or segment of whatever game I'm focusing on at that moment for short bursts of time rather than committing wholeheartedly to an entire hour or more of playing a more console-based experience.
Now, this might be moving a bit too far into the social aspect of it, but you can't tell me that it's not gonna be awkward at first finding people who want to play the Nintendo Switch in public places. Will people actually come out of their shell and embrace that portion?
Game Freak may be idiots but they're not that stupid. This is also based on conjecture, that there would be a third version to begin with - which I'm personally opposed to because I believe Game Freak have moved past a requirement to have those within a Generation.
It's all about timing. You need a good reason to get them to believe that investing in a Switch is a good idea - and for Pokémon specifically, I'm not sold. I don't see the benefits just yet, aside from the much greater power of the system, so whatever growth they can do on that system had better be good enough to lead me to believe that Pokémon can work on the console.
And there's a typo.
Anyone that has gathered together to play games on 3DS will still gather together to play Switch games, assuming the types of games they played together on 3DS will be available on Switch at some point. I don't see how Nintendo Switch will make those who used to meet to play 3DS, no longer want to meet to play Switch.
If you don't believe in any kind of third version, does that mean you're expecting get VIII to be on 3DS as well? Honestly, that idea seems more ridiculous than a third version. If a third version has nothing to offer that SM didn't on 3DS, then I honestly have no idea how you expect an entire new generation to benefit on the 3DS.
If you're playing the handheld part of Switch on Pokémon, it is going to be exactly like playing Pokémon on any other handheld. Then, when you insert said handheld into the dock, the only difference then will be playing Pokémon on a much larger screen. I don't understand how it can't work?
