Information
What is Pokémon?
Pokémon is one of Nintendo’s most successful and long running video game franchises, with more than 120 titles including numerous spin offs. The simple yet addictive concept of collecting Pokémon, combined with a constantly expanding roster of more than 1000 unique Pokémon species, has made the series a global classic enjoyed by players of all ages. Beyond the games, Pokémon also inspired a hugely popular animated series with more than 1300 episodes and 24 movies.
What is Pokémon LeafGreen Version?
Pokémon LeafGreen Version for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 is a modern digital remaster of the 2004 Game Boy Advance title, which itself was a remake of the original Pokémon Green from 1996. In this timeless adventure, players receive their first Pokémon from Professor Oak and begin a journey across the Kanto region. Along the way, you aim to collect eight Gym Badges, stop the schemes of Team Rocket, defeat the Elite Four and ultimately become the Pokémon Champion, all while completing the Pokédex.
Did you know? The earliest Japanese releases were not yet branded as Pokémon but were originally sold under the name Pocket Monsters.
What improvements does LeafGreen include?
This Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 remaster was launched on 27 February 2026 to celebrate Pokémon Day and the 30th anniversary of the franchise. The game contains all content from the 2004 Game Boy Advance remake:
- Improved graphics and audio
- The Sevii Island region
- Additionally, this Switch version is a digital-only release, no physical copies were made
What is the difference between Pokémon LeafGreen and FireRed?
As with most mainline Pokémon titles, LeafGreen has a counterpart version called FireRed. The main difference between the two lies in the available Pokémon. Around 20 species are exclusive to LeafGreen, while FireRed features about 20 different exclusive Pokémon. To complete the full Pokédex, players must trade with someone who owns the opposite version.
