After years of waiting, it looks like Pokemon FireRed & LeafGreen may be released on the Nintendo Switch & Nintendo Switch 2.

While not confirmed, Centro then tweeted about how these games would, unfortunately, not be free. They would not even be a part of Nintendo Switch Online.
Instead, they would be available for purchase individually. Along with this, they will be compatible with Pokemon Home. While this will allow for newer players to experience these games for the first time, it is a bit surprising that they are not included in NSO.
Should these leaks be confirmed, the additions of FireRed and LeafGreen do bring with them the hope for other older Pokemon games. Some have never found their way to other Nintendo Consoles but it feels like they are doing a big push with the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2.
