So, how exactly do you connect your Nintendo Switch to Pokemon GO? Let’s get to the bottom of this gaming query.
The Short and Sweet on Connecting Switch to Pokemon GO
First off, you’ll need both your Nintendo Switch and your smartphone handy. Make sure Pokemon GO is installed and running on your smartphone. On your Switch, you should be playing either Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu! or Pokemon Let’s Go Eevee!, or you could be gearing up in Pokemon Sword or Pokemon Shield.
The connection process generally involves opening the settings menu in Pokemon GO, navigating to the Nintendo Switch section, and following the prompt to connect to your Switch. Over on the Switch side, you’ll access a similar menu in your Pokemon game to complete the link. And voila, your devices are now connected, letting you exchange certain Pokemon between the games.
Why You Should Connect Your Switch to Pokemon GO
Linking your Switch to Pokemon GO not only spices up your gaming experience but also opens the door to transferring exclusive Pokemon. That’s a huge plus for fans aiming to complete their Pokedex. Plus, it adds a whole new dimension to playing by combining the physical exploration of Pokemon GO with the in-depth gaming of the Switch titles.
Another great reason? It’s just plain fun to see your caught Pokemon from the real world pop up on your Switch. It’s like magic but cooler because it’s Pokemon.
