"The Japanese Pokémon Center is selling a roughly $130 special edition of and for Switch that includes replicas of the original Game Boy Advance packaging, as well as a set of glass Poké Balls for each of the original starter Pokémon: Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. Look at them! They light up and everything! It's such a pretty package, and if you're not in Japan, I'm sorry that I showed you something you can't have."
"The Pokémon FireRed and Switch ports are launching digitally next week on February 27 after the Pokémon Day Presents showcase as part of the series' 30th anniversary celebration. The games are remakes of the original Pokémon Red and games that started it all back in 1996, and were originally released in 2004. Folks are feeling pretty sore about the $20 price tag on these twenty-year-old games,"
A Japan-exclusive special physical edition of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen for Switch retails for about 19,800 yen (roughly $127–$130) and is sold through the Pokémon Center Online in Japan. The bundle includes a glass Poké Ball set for Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle that light up, replicas of the original Game Boy Advance packaging, a specially designed case, and a game download card. The digital Switch ports launch February 27 as part of the series' 30th anniversary; the games are remakes tied to the original Red/Green era and the 2004 remakes. Concern exists about scalpers reselling the package at inflated prices, and some fans are upset about the $20 digital price while others speculate the games were released digitally instead of on Nintendo Switch Online to avoid rewind-enabled save scumming.
