Pokémon Legends: ZA

Nintendo Switch

I took the risk buying it day one. Best decision ever! I finished the story already but really want to complete the post game and get the shiny charm.

PC Build

I built my first PC in late 2020 after landing my first full-time dev job. Since then, I’ve upgraded it twice and ended up with this absolute unit… which I barely use. I’m mostly a console-on-the-couch kind of gamer, so this rig has officially reached its final form. It runs anything at solid 1080p, and honestly, that’s all I need for a chill gaming session.

Although it's the first version, it is really powerful. I use it mostly for exclusives, but I do really love this console that I even bought the same games as in the PC just to play them in the couch lol.

Originally I had the standard Switch, but then Tears of The Kingdom came out and I HAD to get the Zelda version, it's just beautiful. The OLED screen upgrade was absolutely worth it.

Long time ago I had a 2DS just like this one, but someone stole it from me. So nostalgia hit hard and I bought a refurbished one and came in excellent condition! it's the definitive console to play every old Pokémon games.
