Rename: Sonia Polo to Sony Polo

I know this wasn't the intent, but calling him "Sonia" is actually deadnaming him.

rename to:

Nintendo Switch Pro Controller

Switch Pro Controller

"Nintendo Switch" is the correct branding for all Switch-related stuff. Nothing is officially just called "Switch". Everything is "Nintendo Switch" (counter-intuitive, I know, since they went out of their way to do the exact opposite with "Wii" which was _not_ "Nintendo Wii", just Wii (same with "Wii U") lol)

rename

Switch Joy-Con

to just

Joy-Con

"Switch" doesn't belong in there. For reference: https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/joy-con-set-l-r/

This change hasn't been made yet. Anychance someone can update the game title?

More detail: F1 Manager (Mobile App) was renamed F1 Clash, and the PC game F1 Manager was then released.

Done up to here.

Great work, @marino!

@marino I am so sorry, but I have another correction to that same person. She informed me of the correct way to credit her, as it is difficult to get the correct spelling for Vietnamese credits often. Last request -- I promise!
