Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen are skipping Switch Online because Nintendo "thought it would be fun," but the steep price has fans divided: "$20 is ABSOLUTELY disgusting for GBA ports"

Fans are split on Nintendo releasing Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen on Switch as standalone titles with a $20 price point, but Nintendo just says it's having fun.

Earlier today it was revealed that the Nintendo Switch will finally be getting mainline retro Pokemon games on the system after years of fan requests for them to appear on Nintendo Switch Online. Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen are arriving next week on Pokemon Day, allowing people to relive the first games in the series via their 2004 remakes. However, they won't be on the Game Boy Advance Nintendo Switch Online service, instead costing $20/£17 each on the Nintendo eShop.
