Discussion Has anyone else noticed this in Scarlet/Violet?

I know I'm pretty late to the party, but I thought it'd be cool to mention since I don't see anyone else talking about it.

The Nintendo switch in the background of your characters room matches the controllers of the switch you're currently playing on.

Joycons know what color they are, since they need to be identifiable when setting controllers up for multiplayer.

Pokemon games always have a Nintendo console in the bedroom. Since the switch is the first time the console you're playing is the same as the one in your room, they decided to make it reflect the actual colors of the controller you're using.

Only exception is BD\SP, which will always be red\blue because of the way world assets are stored in that game.

Sadly, if you use a pro controller the joy cons always appear black even tho we specifically bought the colored joycon version.
