As we don't have any switch console and we want to have one : why not this model ? To try to have it ! As it will be surely hard to get it ;)

For people who don't already own a Switch, this is a great model if you're able to get one! It's just for folks who have already dropped the 200 or 300 for a Switch Lite or original Switch, it's a hard sell as an upgrade with the price markup and lack of any real tech improvements (again, unless there's generous exchange programs). If anything, it now makes me wonder why the Switch didn't have a lot of these things (or at least the OLED screen) in the first place.
Next Pokemon game(s): Pearl
Last finished Pokémon game: Shield
Other games: Skyrim Special Edition (Switch), Spyro Reignited Trilogy (Switch & PS4), Okami (Switch & PS4)
Other gaming goals: completing a Living Pokedex (minus some event Pokes) and going through at least 1 game per generation

Has anyone been able to find one yet?

You know what's funny, is that the YouTube rumor mill has already ramped up again for a 4K Switch. If Nintendo announces yet another new iteration, anyone who dropped the money on the marginal upgrade that is the OLED Switch is going to be well within their rights to be angry.
