Interesting. This isn’t all too surprising…but I thought the GF leak from October claimed it was a NSW exclusive?

Damn, I got some catching up to do lol

"Includes Nintendo Switch Edition and Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Upgrade Pack." - Soooo does this mean it's not entirely on the cart?

Yes, it's been officially confirmed for awhile now. The wording used is kinda poor though ...

Horrible cover
Justice for Chikorita !!!!!

Is the Switch 2 Cart for this game Red or Black?

I hope it's not a technical mess like Violet/Scarlet was, which remains the only video game in the last 15 years I have ever returned to the store.

Visually the game doesn't look that great, about what I would expect from a competent Switch 1 game, but I guess it's the Gameplay loop that matters...

If this is the October game, hopefully that means Prime 4 is September.

While it may be crossgen, I expect having a new Pokémon in its first year will give Switch 2 a push, I can see folks upgrading to finally be able to play a modern series entry with decent performance.

According to doesitplay.org, the entire game, including the upgrade pack, is on the cart. I messaged them to find out. Just like Zelda, the full game is on the cart.
