Pokémon Home Adds FireRed and LeafGreen Switch Support

Pokémon Home compatibility has expanded to include the Switch versions of Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen, according to Siliconera. That gives players another route for managing monsters from the Kanto remakes through Home rather than keeping them isolated inside the newly supported releases.

For competitive players, the main takeaway is collection and legality tracking rather than an immediate metagame shift. Home support usually matters because it defines where Pokémon can be stored, moved, and verified across modern titles. Until Pokémon Champions’ final Home rules and eligible roster are fully detailed, this update should be treated as infrastructure news, not confirmation that anything from FireRed or LeafGreen will be usable in Champions.

Still, this is worth watching. Champions is expected to sit apart from Scarlet and Violet’s VGC environment, and Home connectivity could become important for building boxes efficiently once transfer rules are locked in. If you maintain older collections or care about origin marks and long-term storage, this update makes the Switch versions of FireRed and LeafGreen more relevant to your planning.
