Nintendo has confirmed that releasing Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen as standalone digital titles does not indicate a return of standalone Virtual Console-style offerings. The company emphasized that the decision to sell these classics individually is specific to this release and does not signal a broader revival of the Virtual Console model on Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2. Fans should not expect future standalone re-releases of other legacy games under the old Virtual Console framework.
