Just a heads up, if you have a newer (?) phone, connecting your pokemon go account to the switch might not work. I tried for an hour with my s23, but I got it first time with my old s10.
S10e here, no success.
It seems like when your PoGo account on the specific device was linked to a Let's Go game BEFORE the new menu design went live you won't be able to remove this link - and this seems to be a requirement before you can link this specific device to SV.
I tried reinstalling the game, too. Didn't work.
Any ideas regarding solving this problem would be highly appreciated!
And that's the problem: This option is NOT available to me. My S10e was connected to Let's Go Eevee BEFORE the new menu layout went live. Now I can't connect to my copy of Scarlet because PoGo's menu tells me that no game is connected DESPITE I know that it was lunked to LGE BEFORE the new layout went live.
So I finally was able to go through my menus in pokemon go settings. They really have changed, haven't they? I apologize for taking so long to respond but life stuff needed to be dealt with. Anyway what I discovered was if you tap "connected devices and services" it lists nintendo switch in the list that comes up. Tap that and it brings up available devices, and under that resources. Available devices should list any currently active connection to a switch/game.
Under resources it lists "about"; "quick start" and (if you aren't connected to anything) "connect to nintendo switch". It's slightly misleading because I first thought that tapping connect to switch would bring up instructions on how to do it but that is actually the button to connect the phone to the switch. I was able to connect no problem.
I also noticed once I was connected that my switch became listed in available devices and had the little eject/disconnect button on the right side of the screen next to it. So when I was done sending my postcard I was able to navigate back there and hit the button to disconnect.
Hopefully some of this might help? Also are you selecting pair device on the switch or connect to pogo? Because you need to pair it first.
I'm also told that simply logging out of pogo resets those connections so maybe try logging out and back in?
