Save $20 on several Pokémon games for Nintendo Switch

If you're a fan of Pok E9'mon, loading up on some of the newer titles for the Nintendo Switch doesn't have to cost a fortune. The other games should help you get your fix for less, since Pok E9;mon is not looped into this $20 off deal. The remakes of Diamond and Pearl, originally released for the Nintendo DS in 2006), are now discounted by Best Buy and Amazon.

The full 3D treatment is the biggest upgrade to these games. You may be happy to know that these remakes have EXP share, which means that you can get all of the pokE9;mon in your party. Read our full review.

The 2006 Nintendo DS titles Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl have been rejuvenated for the Nintendo Switch.

If you want a less on-the-rails experience and want to explore an open-world, pokémon-filled environment, I suggest you check out Pokémon Sword or Shield. The battle system in these games isn't as frenetic as it would be in Arceus, but they set the stage for more open-world games. Either would be a good game for someone who hasn't played a game before, as they are welcoming and easy to play. Andrew called them the best PokE9'mon games in years when they were released in 2019.

Victoria Song thinks that $299.99 is a great price for a fitness watch that has a lot of features. It was originally released for $599.99 and sells for $350. It features a 1.3-inch always-on display, wrist-based heart rate tracking, and a pulse oximeter for sleep monitoring and to determine your blood oxygen levels at higher altitudes. You can use its compass, barometric altimeter, and gyro for outdoor use.

The Fenix 6 has a 1.3-inch always-on display and a 47mm case, along with broadGPS support and plenty of sensors to track health and traversal metrics on the go. It can last up to 14 days in watch mode, and 36 hours in gps mode.

It's a good idea to upgrade some of yourusb-c cables to play nicely with the higher wattage wall chargers as they become equipped with higher wattages. I say that now as my colleague Umar Shakir just published a review of Ugreen's $179.99 Nexode charger that can divvy up to 200W among six devices at once or up to 100W to a single device. It looks like an impressive device.

If you want to get a 100W-certified USB-C cable, you can get it for less at Amazon, where you can get two of Ugreen's 100W-ready cables in a pack. If you clip the $3 coupon on the product page, you can get the lowest price.

The Ugreen cables are six feet in length and support charging speeds of up to 100W, making them a good fit for tablets, laptops, phones, and other portable gear.

The Xbox Series S has not been hard to find in stock across the country, but awesome deals on the console only happen once a month or so. If you don't want to pay the full retail price and are okay with going refurbished, there is a great deal you might be interested in. The Series S in a refurbished condition is available for purchase through the mobile app. It has a 90-day warranty through Woot and it will only have minimal cosmetic damage. An Asurion protection plan can be purchased through Amazon.

This console has 1,000 V-bucks for use in the game, and 1,000 credits for use in the game, to make it even sweeter. We reviewed the Series S.

The Xbox Series S is smaller than the 4K capable Xbox Series X, but it can still play the same games at the same resolution.
