THE FUSE

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are coming to Switch tomorrow, February 27, and if you’ve never played the 2004 remakes, or by some wild circumstance never got around to the original games, you’re in for a treat. These games are widely considered the “definitive” versions of the first Pokémon RPGs, and still feel pretty modern by today’s standards. But like all Pokémon games, the reason there are two versions is so you’re incentivized to trade with others, as some monsters are only catchable in one version or the other.
