Overview
- Nintendo is selling FireRed and LeafGreen individually on the eShop for $19.99 / £16.99 each rather than including them in the Nintendo Switch Online Classics catalogue.
- The Switch versions add a basic profanity filter that rejects certain player and rival names, replacing them with default options.
- Players report the long-standing Roaming Roar despawn bug appears fixed in this release, though Nintendo has not confirmed the change.
- Several legacy quirks remain, including broken IVs for the roaming legendaries, the Nugget Bridge glitch in NA/JP builds, black screen borders, and no online trading beyond local link.
- Reviews are broadly positive on nostalgia and convenience, with event islands for Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Deoxys accessible, while Pokémon HOME transfer support is referenced in coverage but not fully detailed.
