For those who haven't heard the news, the Nintendo Switch 2 has been released recently, along with a certain race-driven launch title that isn't quite related to Pokémon but may cause similar stirrings for its fans. Even so, this "(not-)successor" will coexist with its predecessor - as addressed previously, and for some foreseeable time ahead - and in some sense, players are to "upgrade" to it. That also applies for some of the current games for the predecessor, which also includes some Pokémon games.
The reason is that some games now have upgrade packs (free for many, paid for some) that will provide enhancements and/or new features for the console, and two of these games happen to be the ninth-generation Pokémon main series games of Scarlet and Violet. In fact, the upcoming Legends Z-A game will also be in this state, being playable on both consoles but having enhancements for the newer one. This latter game will also have more info out soon, but at least improvement is welcome for the former.
As for certain people upgrading to the console - me specifically - conventional wisdom may dictate that it may not be wise to adopt such a new console early on except to deal with the novelties, which are not too numerous at the moment and especially for Pokémon. I myself am apt to give the new console some adaptation time before deciding to take it up, especially for certain pertinent Pokémon matters. In the end, it would be for when "the time is best", not "the time is now" as many would have it.
If the new Nintendo console is of any indication, however, the best of things (as the original Switch) does not need something completely new to become something better - it just needs a better version of itself, which is practically what the Switch 2 is. That also goes for some of the existing and upcoming games, including Pokémon ones, for which "good" and "better" versions are (due) to exist for play on both consoles. In that respect, to switch up and upgrade may very well be in the futures of many sooner if not later.
