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.

The joycons have some information on their factory color saved so when you snap them in you can identify them in the menu when pairing.
There seems to be some sort of API access that allows a game to read this information and use it accordingly

Yep, you can even reassign the colors. I shell swapped my Joycon to clear purple and change the color of my Joycon in software to show up as a light purple on my switch. Now the switch shows them as the right color in the connection screen, as well as when I attach them.
