Deciding on Nintendo Switch 2 Games to Purchase

Recently bought a switch2. Very much in the mood to play some exclusives on it. Always been interested in pokemon but never played a game from start to finish. Admitedly gave lets go pikachu a try and wasn't as into it as I wanted to be. But I've been playing some pokemon go lately and I really want to give another pokemon game a try.

So my first question is, which one do I go for? I see several options. I think sword&shield and scarlet&violet are mainline games while there are also 2 pokemon legends games, is that right? Out of the 4 which one would you recommend to someone who wants to be hooked immediately?

Also I have my eye out on Pokopia. I think it looks very cute and cozy. Is it something I can play for an hour every day like ACNH? I would be down for that too. What's the general consensus though, does it have a dedicated community, or do people often get their taste and decide its enough and move on from it quickly?

Finally I'm morbidly curious about Xenoblade Chronicles. I'm a big jrpg person but never played those games. Hell, I bought the system just for future fire emblem games.

I have the budget for 2 games. Help me decide please.
