FireRed and LeafGreen will soon be available on the Nintendo Switch.
Pokémon Day is a significant event for Nintendo enthusiasts, especially as this year marks the franchise’s 30th anniversary. The upcoming Pokémon Presents stream on February 27th at 9AM ET is anticipated to deliver exciting news. With Pokémon Legends: Z-A already launched and Pokémon Pokopia on the horizon, there’s a strong likelihood of updates about the next main Pokémon game. Additionally, we might get details about Pokémon Champions and updates on other spin-off games like Pokémon Unite, TCG Pocket, and Pokémon Sleep.
Alongside the announcement of the next Presents stream, Nintendo disclosed that Pokémon FireRed / LeafGreen, originally released for Game Boy Advance in 2004, will soon be available on the Nintendo Switch via the eShop. These games will not be part of the Switch Online subscription and will be downloadable following next week’s Pokémon Presents. Priced at $19.99, they will also be sold at select retailers.
The revelation about FireRed / LeafGreen might have been intended as a surprise for the Presents stream. However, this early announcement suggests the upcoming presentation will be filled with exciting new information.
