Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are coming to the eShop as separate purchases with wireless integration and Pokémon Home availability arriving later!
You can preorder them right now for release next week!

And look what they've just added to Nintendo Music too!
I'm sure there will be lots of grumbling about the price of the games but personally I'm fine with it. It gives you ownership over putting them on NSO, adds in HOME functionality at some point, and the prices of the GBA cartridges 2nd hand are nuts.

I'm also more sure than ever they're announcing these now rather than on Pokémon Day next week so they don't steal the thunder of the Gen 10 reveal.

And of course Japan is also getting physical copies according to Serebii:
A special physical bundle for Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen on Nintendo Switch will be available in Japan at the Pokémon Center Online.

It's not super clear yet if these will actually be on a cartridge or if it's code in a box like they did for the original GB games on 3DS, but it's cool nonetheless.

Nintendolife confirms it is a download code only in the Japan physical versions. Still... that little figure set it comes with is mighty nice.

@COMPU73E I'm hoping we'll get something at some point.
