Pokémon Champions Heads to Switch in April 2026, With HOME Tie-Ins and Free Dragonite Bonus

Pokémon Champions is dated for a Switch release in April 2026 (mobile version later). Early downloads grant a Dragonite and its Mega Stone. Players can import Chesnaught, Delphox, Greninja, and Eternal Flower Floette from Pokémon Legends: Z-A via Pokémon HOME, with HOME allowing visiting Pokémon to enter Champions and return to HOME (moves must be retrained; training carries over unless the form changes). Only Pokémon that appear in Champions can visit from HOME, and Pokémon earned in Champions cannot be sent back to HOME. More release details are expected in the coming months.

Switch Remakes Shield Profane Nicknames in Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen

Switch Remakes Shield Profane Nicknames in Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen

The Switch ports of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen block certain profane nicknames for rivals/characters, automatically replacing them with generic names. Words like ‘dick’, ‘pussy’, ‘shit’, and a slur are censored (often becoming Gary or Janne), while milder terms such as ‘hell’ and ‘damn’ aren’t changed. Nintendo and Game Freak appear to censor profanity to avoid offensive content from being easily shared via screenshots, meaning players will get a default name instead of their chosen insult.

Nintendo’s Virtual Boy Returns on Switch as an expensive, awkward nostalgia gadget

Nintendo brings back the Virtual Boy via the Switch with the Nintendo Classics retro lineup, but you must buy a $100 plastic headset (or a $25 cardboard version) and maintain a Switch Online subscription to access seven launch titles. The games run in portable mode without the accessory, but the goggles are essential for a playable (and legible) experience. It’s an uncomfortable, eyestrain-prone setup that’s oddly compelling for die‑hard fans, yet costly and limited in scope—more a boutique nostalgia item than a practical revival.
