On February 27th, The Pokémon Company will bring Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version to the Nintendo Switch for $19.99 each. You can pre-order the games now through the Nintendo eShop.
The games will be sold in different versions depending on the language. In North America, you’ll find versions only in English, Spanish, and French.
