Well it's still hard to recommend either of those two Vita is an alright console, it's just extremely lacking in most types of games. If you like some really niche stuff (especially visual novels), then it would probably be alright, but other wise there's not many games worth playing on it. As for 3DS... well the only reason I bought one is for Pokemon, and you've already said you don't like Pokemon and I don't have anything else to recommend it for |
I'm reeeeaaallllyyyy struggling to understand this viewpoint, especially when your point is "buy a Switch".
Vita is lacking in most types of games except niche stuff. Yet it still has more niche stuff; console-quality-on-the-go stuff; AA stuff and indie stuff than Switch is likely to have at any point in the next 12 months. Switch's future is brighter, but buy one when it's actually got the games you want rather than it's getting Metroid Prime at some point in the next 3 years, lol.
I mean "there's not many games worth playing on it" is exactly why it's in the state it's in. People look at it and think "oh it has no games" because that's been the internet rhetoric for 6 years, but anyone willing to dig underneath will find a fantastic library of games full of varied titles. I alone could make 50 recommendations straight off the bat that I've written articles about:

Plus, Vita's strongest point is if you have any capacity for nostalgia or playing older games, then it's a fantastic console between PS1 classics; PSP games and PS2 games on the go.
Its weak point is obviously that a lot of its library is shared with PS4 & PS3, so if you own either of those consoles then the main selling point has to be that you want a portable to play games on, rather than a home console. For me, that's an easy choice because I much prefer portability, but it's not going to be for everyone and some people prefer performance boosts; big screen gaming and just all the general perks with home consoles.
3DS I won't even get into - I don't own one, but even I can tell that its library is a hell of a lot more than Pokemon :P
