After the recent release of Pokemon Sword and Shield, it's no surprise that the titles are now being bundled with Nintendo Switch consoles.

What is surprising is the excellent value that these bundles represent. The bundle price matches the normal list price for the console (£279), which means you can play either Pokemon Sword or Shield at no extra cost. This is one of the better early Black Friday deals, and well worth your consideration at this time.

If you're not interested in using the Switch docking capabilities, the Switch Lite also has a Pokemon bundle available. At £219, this deal isn't as great, but still presents a decent discount for those looking to invest in both the game and console at the same time.

My Experience

I’ve been freelancing as a tech journalist for several years now, after long wanting to write about my passion for video games. I have bylines on Kotaku and other sites, but PCMag is where you can find most of my musings on gaming, its culture, and where the industry is going next. I also test online services for both businesses and individuals. If you’re interested in hearing me talk about entertainment, film, and TV, you can check out my Patreon and Substack, both under the name “Robby Knows.”

The Technology I Use 

Most of the tech I use every day is within the Apple ecosystem. Currently, I rely on a 2025 MacBook Air for computing and dabble in art projects on my 6th-generation iPad Mini. I don't go anywhere without my AirPods Pro 2 in my pocket. 

As an avid gamer, you better believe that I always have a controller in my hands if I’m not watching movies or TV. I use my PS5 and Switch 2 equally, depending on what’s the hot new release, and am always trying to find interesting ways to tinker with my Steam Deck.  

Given the current state of social media and technology, I find myself going more analog to escape the noise. I have a modest collection of watches, both automatic and digital, to free myself from the pings and notifications of the modern world. I also put my phone in a ySky lockbox for 12 hours every night to reduce my screen time. I spent a lot of the past year trying to read good books rather than scroll through feeds.
