Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Are Standalone Switch Titles Because Nintendo Thinks It Would Be “Fun”

So, I was wondering why Nintendo was doing things differently with these new Pokémon releases, and they actually had a pretty detailed FAQ. Basically, they said it was to celebrate 30 years of Pokémon and they wanted to let us revisit the original Kanto adventures in a special way. They also made it clear these aren’t coming as part of any Game Boy Advance – Nintendo Classics collection, which is a bit of a bummer, but good to know!
