Hell yeah. Really showing what this new Switch OS is capable of.
i might consider a switch 2 then
Thats it, best console of all time(totally factually correct and unbiased take here)
Hmm am I about to drop $800CAD to have Mudkip as my icon?
This is honestly unironically something I’m looking forward to lol
Mimikyu or we riot!
Can I get some shades for Squirtle?
Finally changing my icon again.
oh its so over for yoshi as my pfp, i can have EEVEE??
Boi see Rowlet, Boi Happy
Why no themes 😭
Incredible, this kind of thing would be truly impossible on the Switch 1’s hardware
Honestly interesting to me.
I know we got some Sarlet Violet profile icons, but being incorporated into the base selection is new. Pokemons typically been in a weird spot with Nintendo in terms of how its utilized. While the franchise is Nintendo owned, its not EAD, so you dont see Pikachu and Charizard casually show up in Mario Kart or Nintendoland or whatever. Theres very little crossover, even with auxiliary features/services, with Smash being the big exception.
But its also odd, because Kirby is in a similar spot ownership wise, yet we see Kirby freely used. Pokemons the most popular thing ever, so youd THINK theyd want branding incorporated everywhere with Nintendo, but its oddly sparce. Ive always been curious as to why that was…
I wish I didn’t have a Mr. Saturn icon because now there’s no reason to ever change mine ever again
Why ? I already have almighty Clodsire, I don’t need another one
So something the switch can have but probably won’t, nice…
Ooh I can support chespin
Hell yeah.
Pikachu, Eevee, Bulbasaur, Squirtle & Charmander for me and my family, and then a couple of Pokéballs for the guest accounts.
Would’ve loved Meowth and Jigglypuff too, but this is cool.
Omg Mudkip!
I can’t wait.
My cute totodile, finally.
Are they gonna be on the original Switch as well?
I need that Squirtle and Rowlet icon in my life.
pikachu and eevee ARE starters
Glad that it’s happening rather than it just being limited like with Scarlet and Violet’s icons.
Im actually shocked there was none on the switch before now
I have to buy a new console to just put a new png on my profile
Finally, I can have an Oshawott profile pic.
Friendship ended with Mii, Now Tepig is my User Icon
This must be why they never added new themes to Switch 1!
Just want my NSO ones to carry over I didn’t do a whole thing just to get the Mother 3 ones to lose em.
Yes I know that was a choice I made but they weren’t going to give me Boney in America and I wasn’t about to let it happen.
YES CHIMCHAR PROFILE PICTURE
Do we know if current NSO user icons will be usable on Switch 2?
Fine, I’ll change my user icon to Mudkip.
I can finally have a Chespin icon
I love how it’s not a modern version, but the original Sugimori drawing of the Poké Ball.
A
Poor Nintendo employees are getting overworked
Also 36 fe icons for each of the locallised lords (-alm and ephraim)
They already provided Pikachu, Eevee and the gen 9 starters from redeeming coins on Scarlet Violet NSO icons. Really funny how you could end up having duplicate icons.
**PLEASE** add the ability to mix and match profile pics and backgrounds from different packs. PLEASE.
Oh that’s pretty cool. Gotta represent the 3rd gen with a Mudkip
So all the Starter Pokémon and a Poké Ball
only 3 new Metroid icons 🙁
chikorita stans we rise
FYI, Pikachu and Eevee fall under “Starter Pokemon” since that’s what they were in Yellow and the Let’s Go games.
Look at how dumb Charmander looks, like he has no jaw. Imagine seeing a side profile of that depiction of Charmander, ugh.
Why do they think we only like the starters?
I’m going to be mudkip!!! Now to buy a switch 2
I’m glad they haven’t abandoned adding default switch pfps it’s been forever since the last new ones before the recent Mario updated ones
