The Nintendo Switch ports of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen released today following the 30th anniversary Pokémon Presents showcase. Players can now transfer caught Pokémon to modern titles via Pokémon Home, though crude naming options have been restricted. Dataminers have uncovered hints of potential future ports for other classic games.
A Swiss speedrunner named iamClemi accidentally found a significant glitch in the new Pokémon FireRed Switch port while selecting a starter Pokémon. The glitch skips sound prompts during wild Pokémon captures, saving time in speedruns. Runner Gunnermaniac called it the largest time save in Game Boy Pokémon games since RNG manipulation.
