If DP loved Pokemon on Nintendo Switch, what else will he like?

DP loves Pokemon games on the Nintendo Switch. I'm pre-ordering the new one - Arceus - but I want to get him another game or two for Christmas.

What do you recommend? I don't play video games at all so I have no idea where to start.

He has some of the Zelda games which he said are okay but not as good as Pokemon. I'm after a cartridge rather than a download game too.

Thank you!

Zelda is pretty similar to Pokemon. My dd (18) is a big Pokemon fan, there are 2 new games out, she does play Mario cart occasionally but mainly Pokemon and isn’t really interested in much else. At the moment she’s collecting old consoles and old Pokemon games which is getting costly 😬

Most games on the switch seem to be aimed at young kids (animal crossing, Mario party etc…) so I would say only Pokemon and Zelda are really suitable.

I was going to Zelda as well. Dc1 loves Pokémon but hasn't fully completed all the switch games we have but has Zelda link and I have just got him Zelda sword and shield. He also loves animal crossing.

I am a pokemon fan, and also loved Pikmin...

Oooh, Pikmin - not heard of that one!

Yeah, I'm getting the impression that most Switch games are for very young kids. DP's 36 Grin

Try Pokémon Mystery Dungeon. I've heard Monster Hunter World is good too. If he likes the RPG aspect of Pokémon, he might like Ni no Kuni, Xenoblade Chronicles or Octopath Traveller. There are some Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games on Switch, but not sure which ones if any come as physical copies.

That's brill, thank you! I've just come across Octopath Traveller actually.

Untitled Goose Game! It sounds ridiculous but it's very popular.

My 8year old Switch playing Pokemon lover has asked for Pokemon Pearl, Plants vs Zombies and Mario 3D World Bowser's Fury (the Bowser thing seems to be the main appeal of this game, he's not into typical Mario racing games).

Pikmin is an absolute gem of a game and I hope so much that they eventually port the original Pikmin one and two to the switch.

There's also Unravel and Unravel Two.

Lol, sorry, just noticed it's for a DP. Thought you said DS Grin

If your DP likes pokemon he sounds like he loves the classic games from when he way younger, try;

  • Crash bandicoot
  • Spyro
  • donkey Kong
  • mario kart

My DP loves all the above x
