I’ve played a lot of Pokémon over the years, including just about every mainline game, and a fair few spin-offs too. I didn’t actually start playing until Pokémon Black and White released, and I’d just hit age 10 (good times), but I swiftly made it my mission to go back to the days of Red and Blue, and work my way through the franchise’s catalogue.
Although the Pokémon games hit something of a rough patch on Nintendo Switch, it’s been pleasing to see a return to form of late, with some well-received releases and exciting new announcements to boot. OK, I’m not sure if I’m a fan of the recently revealed starters for Pokémon Winds and Waves (although Gecqua is pretty solid). However, we did get Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, Pokémon Pokopia, and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness on Nintendo Switch 2 within the span of just one month.
