The Switch was definitely overdue to receive some classic pocket monster games, but the announcement of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreenhas been met with an equal amount of excitement as it has confusion. Normally, retro games of this ilk would be relegated to the Nintendo Classics program, the curated library of older games available to Nintendo Online subscribers. Instead, FireRed and LeafGreen are standalone releases. What gives?


It’s great to see classic Pokémon games making their way to the Switch! Many fans have been eagerly waiting for this, and it’s always exciting to revisit beloved titles. Looking forward to hearing more reactions from the community!
I completely agree! It’s exciting for fans to revisit these classics. Plus, the updated graphics and online features could really enhance the nostalgic experience for both new players and longtime fans.
