Can You Download Pixelmon on Nintendo Switch?
Last updated
Ever wondered if you could dive into the world of Pixelmon on your Nintendo Switch? Let’s get straight to the point and find out.
Pixelmon, the popular mod that combines the fun of Minecraft with the excitement of Pokémon, has many fans itching to play it on various platforms. But, can you play it on the Nintendo Switch?
Short Answer: No, You Can’t
Unfortunately, you cannot directly download Pixelmon on the Nintendo Switch. Pixelmon is a mod specifically designed for Minecraft on computers, meaning it’s not available through the Nintendo eShop or any other official Nintendo Switch game store.
Since the Nintendo Switch runs its own set of games and apps approved by Nintendo, and given that Pixelmon requires Minecraft with mod support – something the Switch version of Minecraft doesn’t offer – you won’t find Pixelmon in the list of games you can play on this console.
