I feel the same but what it comes down to for me is I hate Nintendo IPs and for the most part it is the Nintendo games that bring people to their consoles.
Pretty much everything else is available elsewhere. Or at least that is the impression I get. Does the console have any noteworthy exclusives that aren't Nintendo characters.
Pokemon would be the main thing that appealed for me too but I liked red, blue, stadium and that was about it. I didnt play much after that and what I did didnt stick so I think I'd have similar feelings to you towards the new ones.
Astral Chain was great, and probably runs better on emulator than original hardware
When I tried it on my switch, gyro was broken when playing with a controller with no way to turn it off. So if emulator doesn't have bugs then it'd be better for that reason too.
