I just think of the Joy-con set as better than an Xbox Elite controller.I dont get the point. If you want a 'classic controller' just put the joycons in the grip and youre good to go. Its almost like the people who say that there is no point using it portably (is that even a word). If you feel like that, just leave it docked all the time.
Edit: just realised that buying one single joycon is around the same price as the pro controller (i think) so even with the hd rumble it would be a bit expensive
Only considerations I can think of are the D-pad (4 separate buttons on joy con, I think I've read that some people don't like that) and the battery life of the pro vs joycon. We don't know what they are yet, but if the switch pro is like the wii u pro, you'll never need to charge it. That can be major for when I game at home.I dont get the point.

Imagine that you have four Joycons to form two controllers for a 4 player fighting game, and want to save some money. In such a case, you might want two Pro controllers as well.Why would you even buy one?
That Pro controller looks more comfortable to hold than the Joy-Cons on the grip, though I guess time will tell if that's true or not. Plus, I mean if you want to play comfortably with more than one person (one person can play with one joy-pad but that looks awkward as call can be) you're going to have to buy more than one controller. $110 for the joy-cons + grip is just insane for a single controller so if I buy more controllers they're going to be the pro models.Why would you even buy one?
the D pad is why better for fighting gamesWhy would you even buy one? It's just two joycons permanently fused to the pad. The Joycon version looks weird but everyone says it's comfortable so I'll just stick with it.
And honestly? I'd rather just go for another pair of joycons plus a charging pad. That way I have two full controllers for two-person intense gaming, and four joycons for the few times I'd have more players.
Kinda nice. My Wii U has: five Wiimotes (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Bowser), three nunchucks, two Pro controllers, one classic controller pro, a gamecube adapter and four gamecube controllers (plus a hard drive hanging off the back). Compared to that my Switch bundle with another pair of joycons+pad will be very compact.
