"It's a big month for , with February 27 marking 30 years since the world's highest-grossing media franchise first introduced itself in the shape of two Game Boy games. Pocket Monsters Red and Pocket Monsters Green, which later arrived in the West as Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue, kicked off a craze in Japan that would soon spread worldwide. And to mark the series' 30th anniversary, the little turn-based RPGs that started it all are being re-released on Nintendo Switch."
"These aren't modern remakes or remasters. Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen will look and play pretty much the same as they did in 2004, just on a far superior display, obviously. There's no online play, but the original's games' local multiplayer features return via the Switch's built-in wireless features. If you're playing on Switch 2, you can also play using GameChat. Other than that, it doesn't sound like there are any notable differences between the Switch and Switch 2 versions."
February 27 marks 30 years since Pocket Monsters Red and Green launched on Game Boy, spawning a global franchise. Nintendo is re-releasing the Game Boy Advance remakes Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen on Nintendo Switch to offer the enhanced GBA versions of the original Kanto adventures. The Switch releases preserve the 2004 presentation and gameplay without modern remastering. Local multiplayer returns via Switch wireless features, with GameChat available on Switch 2, but there is no online play. The games are $20 standalone downloads on the eShop, will not appear in the NSO GBA library, and have no physical release outside Japan.
