It depends though. While its great to see some of Nintendo's biggest games run on a handheld device (BoTW, Mario Kart, Odyssey, Xenoblade 2, and, soon, Smash Bros.), some are anticipating great hype for Pokemon because of the fact its going to be considered the first main series game on a home console and the first HD main series game in the franchise rather than saying its on a handheld (as every main game has released on handhelds that were usually known to be handheld versions of the last gen home consoles at the time, i.e., Game Boy being the NES you take on the go or the GBA being the SNES on the go).
Plus, most of these games run better (whether it be significant or not) docked. You can't say that Xenoblade 2 looks better on handheld when compared to it being docked. And most have probably wanted to experience the latest Zelda on a TV rather than on handheld, same with Mario. Thus, I wouldn't be surprised if Smash Bros. on Switch would mostly be seen docked while I watch tournaments.
