The Pokemon Let's Go Nintendo Switch is Cuter than a Basket of Growlithe Puppies

I choose this.

Oh no: Nintendo's releasing a custom Switch bundle to celebrate the release of Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee, and it looks adorable. I give you permission to fold like an origami Pikachu left out in a rainstorm.

The bundle, which you can see over on Nintendo's website, includes a custom Switch (including themed dock), themed Joy-Cons (one is Pikachu-yellow and the other is Eevee-brown), the PokéBall Plus accessory, and a download code for Pokémon Let's Go Eevee. The whole shebang costs $399.99 USD.

If I had a lot of money, the first thing I'd do is dive into it Scrooge McDuck-style. The second thing I'd do is order this bundle. Look at Pikachu and Eevee chilling on the front of that dock.

Nintendo has yet to make the consoles ready for pre-order or purchase via their website. Pokémon Let's Go comes out on November 16, so it might be a while yet. Keep an eye out: I have a feeling these are going to disappear as soon as they go on sale.

If you can't partake in the Pokémon Switch bundle, fear not: You can still dive into this HD Kanto adventure when the time comes. Visit our guides to Pokémon Let's Go Eevee and Let's Go Pikachu for all the news and information that's fit to know.
