With the Nintendo 3DS' online features shutting down, It's time to bring Pokémon's poorly preserved Game Boy entries to Switch.
In the wake of the launch of Detective Pikachu Returns, I had planned to write about what other Pokémon spinoffs I’d like to see make a comeback on Nintendo Switch, just like Pokémon Snap did. There are a lot of fun ideas that the franchise’s older spinoffs played around with that I’d like to see revived Instead, a recent announcement from Nintendo made the poor preservation of older mainline Pokémon games a more pressing matter.
Thanks to these rereleases, it’s possible to get Pokémon from every mainline game in the series to Pokémon Home. While this was the best way to play these games without emulating illegally, the last couple of years have made the 3DS a bad home for these games. First off, it’s now impossible for anyone new to buy these ports, as the 3DS eShop shut down in March 2023.
Nintendo Switch would be a good home While this isn’t an outlandish demand — a certain segment of the Pokémon fanbase has begged for these Swtich rereleases for years — we are at a point where it’s not just a matter of the 3DS no longer being a viable home for Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal. The Nintendo Switch’s online infrastructure for emulated versions of older games is finally ready, too.
