經典Game Boy Advance時期代表作《寶可夢 火紅／葉綠》（Pokémon FireRed / LeafGreen）確定將於2026年2月27日，也就是一年一度的「寶可夢日（Pokémon Day）」正式登陸Nintendo Switch與次世代主機平台，象徵這款被視為關都世代最佳重製版本之一的作品，將再次以數位形式回歸現代玩家視野。本次移植計畫在「Pokémon Presents」線上發表會結束後立即開放下載，延續近年寶可夢系列以紀念日推出經典作品的策略，也讓老玩家能以更便利的方式重溫初代冒險。

在發售與價格方面，本作採取以數位版為核心的銷售模式。一般數位下載版建議售價約為新台幣420元（約2,000日圓），定位屬於懷舊經典系列的親民價格區間。日本市場則同步推出豪華特別版，內容包含下載卡、玻璃製精靈球裝飾品以及收藏展示盒，整體偏向紀念收藏定位，售價約為新台幣4,000元（19,800日圓）。值得注意的是，此豪華版本仍為「下載碼形式」，並未提供實體卡帶，反映當前任天堂逐步強化數位發行的市場方向。

語言支援方面，本次版本採取高度忠於原作的移植策略，完整保留 2004 年 GBA 原始版本設定，因此並未新增中文化。玩家在購買時需直接選擇日文版或英文版，且遊戲內無法切換語言，這點與現代多語言寶可夢作品有所不同，也被視為官方刻意維持「原汁原味體驗」的一部分。

在遊戲內容與規格上，本作幾乎完整移植當年GBA版本的所有元素，包括主線劇情、圖鑑系統以及深受玩家喜愛的追加區域「七之島（Sevii Islands）」。由於原作容量本身極小，根據任天堂官方資料，本次下載檔案大小預估僅約 40MB，幾乎不占主機儲存空間。遊玩模式則全面支援Nintendo Switch 的電視模式、桌上模式與手提模式，同時也能透過Nintendo Account家庭群組功能進行數位共享，符合現代主機的使用習慣。此外，本作可在全系列Switch主機上運行，並向下相容於最新的Nintendo Switch 2，確保跨世代玩家皆能遊玩。

購買方式方面，可直接透過Nintendo eShop進行預購或下載，是最簡單且即時的取得途徑。至於收藏向玩家關注的豪華實體包裝版，目前主要由日本官方商城Pokémon Center Online販售，由於台灣並未同步推出正式通路版本，玩家多半需要透過在地電玩店協助代訂進口，例如高雄等地的專門遊戲通路。

整體而言，此次《寶可夢 火紅／葉綠》的重新上架不僅是單純的懷舊復刻，更代表任天堂與寶可夢公司持續將經典作品數位保存化的策略延伸。對老玩家而言，它是回到關都地區的情感重逢；對新世代玩家而言，則是一個理解寶可夢系列起點與設計原型的重要入口，也預期將在寶可夢日檔期帶動一波懷舊遊玩熱潮。

The classic Game Boy Advance title Pokémon FireRed / LeafGreen will officially launch on Nintendo Switch and next-generation hardware on February 27, 2026 — Pokémon Day. Widely regarded as one of the finest remakes of the Kanto generation, the game will return in digital form for modern players. The release will become available for download immediately following the “Pokémon Presents” presentation, continuing the franchise’s recent tradition of reviving classic titles during anniversary celebrations and allowing longtime fans to revisit the original adventure with greater accessibility.

In terms of release details and pricing, the game will primarily adopt a digital distribution model. The standard digital edition is expected to retail at approximately NT$420 (around ¥2,000), positioning it as an affordably priced entry within Nintendo’s classic legacy lineup. A deluxe special edition will also be released in Japan, featuring a download card, a glass Poké Ball ornament, and a collectible display box, aimed mainly at collectors. This premium package is priced at roughly NT$4,000 (¥19,800). Notably, even this deluxe version includes only a download code rather than a physical cartridge, reflecting Nintendo’s ongoing shift toward digital distribution.

Regarding language support, this release remains highly faithful to the original 2004 GBA version and does not introduce Chinese localization. Players must choose either the Japanese or English version at the time of purchase, and the in-game language cannot be changed afterward. This limitation is considered part of the developers’ intention to preserve the authentic original experience, distinguishing it from modern Pokémon titles that typically include multiple language options.

In terms of content and technical specifications, the game preserves virtually all elements of the original GBA release, including the main storyline, Pokédex systems, and the fan-favorite post-game expansion area known as the Sevii Islands. Because of the original game’s small data footprint, the download size is expected to be extremely compact — approximately 40 MB according to Nintendo’s official information — requiring minimal storage space. The game supports all Nintendo Switch play modes, including TV mode, tabletop mode, and handheld mode, and also allows digital sharing through Nintendo Account family group features. Compatibility extends across the entire Switch lineup, including full support for the newer Nintendo Switch 2, ensuring cross-generation accessibility.

As for purchasing options, players can preorder or download the game directly via the Nintendo eShop, making it the most convenient acquisition method. The collector-focused deluxe physical package, which contains a download code instead of a cartridge, is currently sold primarily through Japan’s official Pokémon Center Online store. Since Taiwan does not have an official local release for this edition, players will likely need to preorder imported copies through specialized game retailers.

Overall, the re-release of Pokémon FireRed / LeafGreen represents more than a simple nostalgic revival. It reflects Nintendo and The Pokémon Company’s broader strategy of digitally preserving classic titles for modern platforms. For longtime fans, it offers an emotional return to the Kanto region; for newer players, it provides an important opportunity to experience the foundational design and origins of the Pokémon series, and it is widely expected to spark a renewed wave of nostalgia-driven engagement during the Pokémon Day season.
