If you\u2019re a Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> fan, loading up on some of the more recent titles for the Nintendo Switch doesn\u2019t have to cost a fortune. Sadly, Pok\u00e9mon Legends Arceus<\/em> isn\u2019t looped into this $20 off deal (although it is $10 off at Amazon<\/a>), but these other games should help you get your gotta-catch-em-all fix for less. Best Buy<\/a> and Amazon<\/a> are each discounting Pok\u00e9mon Brilliant Diamond<\/em> and Shining Pearl<\/em> (the remakes of Diamond <\/em>and Pearl<\/em>, originally released for the Nintendo DS in 2006) for $39.99 each. <\/p>\n

The biggest upgrade to these games is the full 3D treatment, though it plays a lot like those original titles. For people who don\u2019t like to grind XP to level up each pok\u00e9mon individually, you may be happy to know that these remakes have EXP share, which lets all of the pok\u00e9mon in your party earn experience from battles. Read our full review.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

If you want a less on-the-rails experience and are eager to explore an open-world, pok\u00e9mon-filled environment, I suggest checking out either Pok\u00e9mon Sword<\/em> or Shield<\/em>. These titles set the stage for Arceus<\/em>\u2019 more fleshed-out open-world traversal, but keep in mind that the battle system in these games isn\u2019t as frenetic. Either would be a suitable game for someone who hasn\u2019t played a Pok\u00e9mon <\/em>game before, as they\u2019re welcoming and fairly easy. When these games released in 2019, my colleague Andrew Webster called them \u201cthe best Pok\u00e9mon <\/em>games in years.\u201d Read our full review.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield<\/a><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n

\n

You save $20 on the usual cost of either Pok\u00e9mon Sword<\/em> or Shield <\/em>for the Nintendo Switch. Usually $60, they\u2019re both currently marked down to just $40.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If you have room in your budget for a somewhat pricey but feature-packed fitness watch, our wearables and fitness tech reviewer Victoria Song thinks that $299.99 is a great price for the Garmin Fenix 6<\/a>. It typically sells for around $350 but originally released for $599.99 back in late 2019<\/a>. It features a 1.3-inch always-on display and a smattering of useful features, including wrist-based heart rate tracking and a pulse oximeter for sleep monitoring and to determine your blood oxygen levels at higher altitudes. For outdoor use, you can tap into its three-axis compass, gyroscope, and barometric altimeter, along with its comprehensive GPS support (GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo).<\/p>\n

Garmin Fenix 6<\/a><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n

The Fenix 6 has a 1.3-inch always-on display and a 47mm case, along with broad GPS support and plenty of sensors to track health and traversal metrics on the go. Garmin claims that it can last 36 hours per charge in GPS mode or up to 14 days in smartwatch mode.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As wall chargers become equipped with higher wattages, resulting in even faster charging (finally!), it might be wise for you to upgrade some of your USB-C cables to play nicely with them. I say that now as my colleague Umar Shakir just published a review of Ugreen\u2019s $179.99 Nexode charger<\/a> that can divvy up to 200W among six devices at once or up to 100W to a single device. It seems like an impressive device.<\/p>\n

If you want a 100W-certified USB-C cable, you can actually luck out with this deal at Amazon that includes two of Ugreen\u2019s 100W-ready cables in a pack for just $15.99<\/a>. They\u2019re normally $18.99, but make sure that you clip the $3 coupon on the product page to get the lowest price.<\/p>\n

The Xbox Series S hasn\u2019t been too <\/em>difficult to find in stock across the country, but awesome deals on the console still only happen once every month or so. If you don\u2019t want to pay the full $299.99 retail price (and are alright with going refurbished), Woot has a great deal you might be interested in. The Series S in \u201cgrade-A refurbished\u201d condition costs $239.99<\/a> when purchased through the Woot mobile app for iOS<\/a> or Android<\/a>. Just so you know, Woot claims that it will only have \u201cminimal cosmetic damage\u201d at most and that it has a 90-day warranty through Woot. An Asurion protection plan can be purchased through Amazon<\/a> and applied to the purchase.<\/p>\n

To sweeten the deal, this console includes 1,000 V-Bucks for use in Fortnite<\/em> and 1,000 credits to be used in the game Rocket League<\/em>. Read our review of the Series S.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
