In the lead up to Pok\u00e9mon’s 30th anniversary celebration, Nintendo officially lifted the lid on the return of Pok\u00e9mon FireRed and LeafGreen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They’re arriving on the Switch eShop on 27th February 2026, and ahead of this release, Nintendo has shared not only an official trailer but also some direct screenshots, showing off how both games will look on its hybrid system.<\/p>\n

As we previously mentioned, Nintendo has also confirmed these Switch releases contain the same content as the original releases<\/a>, with some modern solutions to the connectivity features. You can also play these titles while using the GameChat feature.<\/p>\n

If you somehow haven’t played these monster-catching RPG before, as you can see below, it’s a mix of adventure, exploration and battling wrapped up in some lovely pixel artwork! So, without further ado, here’s a look:<\/p>\n
