I've never been a "traditional" (battle based) RPG person, but this one charmed me enough. What I liked about it, especially, was the (mostly) lighthearted story, that it was shorter than what RPGs usually are described as, the possibility of checking enemy's thoughts/stats (big factor), and the minigames to get some variety.

Does anybody have any suggestions? Bonus point if it's for Switch, is not a Mario game, and has the possibility of manual saving. No Pokémon please, I tried like 5 games and only liked Arceus
