Jerika, I have so much to say as a new Pokemon fan and now the only Pokemon fan at Kind of Funny of my excitement for this.

But then, of course, there's the internet anger, understandably to some regard, as, of course, some people are like, it should be $20 for both, not $20 a piece.

Some people are like, yo, you have a GBA NSO Classics collection.

Why wouldn't you just put them in there?

There's so much going on here.

Do you want to start with the good stuff, or do you want me even to go further on?

Because Tom Phillips at IGN has Nintendo putting up an FAQ trying to answer some of these questions.

Let's push it.

Let's go as far as we can go.

We go to IGN.com where Tom Phillips writes... Wait, real quick.

The one announcing this, FireRed, LeafGreen from Nintendo.

It should be on the Pokemon page.

Nintendo has released a lengthy Q&A article discussing its upcoming Switch re-releases of Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen and addresses its decision to launch them separately rather than as part of the Nintendo Switch online service like numerous other Game Boy Advance titles.

In response to the question, quote, why are you handling these classic games differently?

End quote.

Nintendo writes, quote,

In celebration of 30 years of Pokemon, we thought it would be fun to return to the ultimate versions of the original Pokemon Adventures in the Kanto region with these special releases.

End quote.

And in response to the question, will these games also be coming to the Game Boy Advance Nintendo Classics Collection?

Nintendo replies, these games are being offered as standalone software and are not planned to release as part of the Game Boy Advance Nintendo Classics Collection.
