Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen are already #1 on the Switch eShop (US).

I'm not surprised. More Pokemon games have sold on Switch than any other platform by a significant margin.

There is a huge audience for older games in the series. pic.twitter.com/hCBoJyulBN

I must applaud Nintendo, we had so many discussions about GKC and digital games suck blahblah, physical is the way to go....But nobody is really talking about it in this case and it got Number 1.

I'm part of the problem lol - I pre-ordered both Fire Red and Leaf Green lol

I recently did Pokémon Violet and am now playing Persona 3 Reload.

SW2 helps a lot to paper over the cracks with S/V. There's still some blatantly poor and unpolished areas but I had a good time with it. Also it doesn't give much direction on the order to do things so I had to look that up to avoid just barreling in to way higher level places lmao.

So after just playing an hour I have to say....the character models look good, the main character doesnt look soulless like 8th gen's so thats an improvement

But the environment looks horrible, like a in between of N64 and GCN era style. Its like 3DS visual level but they forgot to raise the resolution output for it so it looks so bad , like if you were to play GTA5 on PC at super low settings lol.

When I saw the water at the beach before the first battle, I was like Super Mario Sunshine (OG) from Gamecube had better water animation and that was back in 2003.
