Nintendo Switch Pro Allegedly Launching in September
The upcoming Nintendo Switch Pro is rumored to launch in September or October according to a recent report which claimed production of the new device would begin in July. The Nintendo Switch Pro is expected to feature an upgraded 7" 1280x720 OLED screen with a new NVIDIA processor and graphics based on the Ada Lovelace architecture. Nintendo and its partners are confident in their supply chain and their ability to meet demand including the new NVIDIA SoC which may enable 4K video output when docked by utilizing DLSS technology. Nintendo plans to price the Switch Pro at the same 299 USD MSRP the original Nintendo Switch was launched for and may announce the device before E3 2021 which starts June 12th.

The switch 2 is supposedly be 4k 60FPS but on a TV only.
Never played Pokemon but my sister likes it. She's been through Zelda Breath of the wild 2 times already. 100% done and I played just like you 3-4 hours tops.
Nintendo can't change the SoC while keeping compatibility with previous games. They will either use 2 SoCs in a docked-only console (a la Sony or GBA), or create some sort of monstrosity with Nvidia that supports both the old Maxwell Tegra X1, and whatever they want to use now.
They might be able to catch up to Sony by years end if they're able to check all those boxes and stay under 300 bucks.
I still hope this new one has a replaceable battery, that's my least favorite part about the switch, its lack of serviceability.
You just pull off the back cover, the metal shield, swap the batteries, put it back together, and you're done. I've done it.
