It is undeniable that the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 versions of Pokémon Fire Red and GreenLeaf They have generated controversy among fans. Some felt that the games should have been available through the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. Some felt they were released at a slightly high price. And some lamented the omission of Wi-Fi functionality.
But there's one thing all Pokémon fans should surely appreciate about these re-released classics: the inclusion of event tickets. That's right, once you've defeated the Champion in fire red and GreenLeafYou will be awarded the Mystic Ticket and the Aurora Ticket. The first allows you to capture the Pokémon Gold and Silver cover stars, Ho-Oh and Lugia, while the latter must catch Deoxys.
I had a great time collecting these legendary and mythical Pokémon, but in my quest to complete the Pokédex I decided to go find another one, one that is characterized, above all, by being elusive. The man I'm talking about, of course, is Mew.
Article continues below.
So can you catch Mew? Pokémon Fire Red and GreenLeaf on Switch and Switch 2? Here you will find everything you need to know.
A glimpse of the future?
Okay, let's get something out of the way first. No matter what you try, you won't be able to find Mew near the truck in Vermilion City. It would have been great, but oh well.
But is there another way to catch Mew? Pokémon Fire Red and GreenLeaf? Unfortunately, no. Well, at least not yet, although I have high hopes for the future. This is what I have in mind.
I'll start by saying this: it really looks like we could get Pokémon Ruby, Sapphireand Emerald on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 in the not too distant future.
Because? Well, first of all, when you play the post-game, you help rebuild a machine for Celio on the Sevii Islands, a machine that allows you to trade Hoenn titles: Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. On top of that, it is currently impossible to complete your National Dex in the Switch and Switch 2 versions of Pokémon Fire Red and GreenLeaf – largely due to the player's inability to transfer 'mons from those other Gen 3 titles.
As a result, it would make a lot of sense for Nintendo to re-release entries like Pokémon Emerald – a game that actually had a special event for Mew on the Game Boy Advance. Through a distribution, players were able to obtain the Old Sea Map, an item that would grant access to a location called Faraway Island. Here you can encounter the floating psychic creature, Mew, and catch it once and for all.
Sure, this was a special event, and the Ancient Sea Map was only distributed in Japan and Taiwan in 2005. But we did get those special event items for Deoxys, Ho-Oh, and Lugia in the Switch and Switch 2 version of fire red and GreenLeaf. And then hopefully we will also get the Ancient Sea Map after defeating Pokémon Emerald's Champion too, in case of a relaunch, of course.
yes we were Arrive Pokémon Emerald On next-gen systems, players will hopefully have the opportunity to trade Mew with fire red and GreenLeaf through the Celio machine. Am I having too much hope here? Maybe. But I really want to add Mew to my index!
Could you see this happening? Are you hoping to see the Hoenn games land on Switch and Switch 2? I'd love to hear your opinion, so be sure to leave a comment.
