Shadow-Pokemon Classic Lands on Switch 2 NSO This March

Nintendo Life reports Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, a GameCube RPG, is joining the Switch 2 Online GameCube library in March 2026 as an NSO-exclusive release. It marks the second RPG spin-off to hit the service (arriving before Pokémon Colosseum), and centers on Shadow Pokémon led by Shadow Lugia. Notably, XD cannot be transferred to other Pokémon games nor used with Pokémon Home, and the NSO listing implies this title will land exclusively on Switch 2 before Colosseum arrives.

Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen Switch Update Applies Offensive-Word Filter to Nicknames

Nintendo Life reports that the Switch eShop versions of Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen now censor offensive words in nicknames, replacing terms like “dick”, “pussy”, “shit”, and even the f-slur with safe names such as “Gary” or “Janne.” The update can override user inputs for trainer names, and it may be tied to online features like Pokémon Home, though milder words like “hell” and “damn” aren’t censored. This edit to a classic release has sparked discussion about censorship in family-friendly titles.

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.

FireRed & LeafGreen Arrive on Switch with One-Way Pokémon HOME Transfers

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen have released on the Nintendo Switch eShop with Pokémon HOME support confirmed; however, transfers from FRLG to HOME are one-way and cannot be reversed back to FRLG. Moving Pokémon into HOME lets players send them to other Switch titles (such as Scarlet & Violet and Legends: Z‑A, with Champions via linking). HOME compatibility itself will arrive later, and there’s no indication of full online transfer back to FRLG yet.
