Question of the week: What Pokémon game would you like to see re-released on Switch (2)?

MMC-QOTW-2026-09-16_pokemon-re-release.jpg

This isn't one specific game, but I would loooove to see all of the DS games make a come back. BDSP easily showed how they can do it: just map the bottom screen to the R button? I think a tad more dev work would be needed so the battles can happen on one screen, but they can do it.

Give me Platinum, Heart Gold & Soul Silver, and all of gen 5 please!!

If I had to choose just one I'd probably want pokemon platinum

I do think it'll happen, but I think they will get gen 3 out of the way first which in my opinion will take awhile. I am expecting ruby and sapphire next year.

For me... obviously all mainline DS releases would be amazing and top of my list.

I do also want to see Pinball RS really bad... it got re-released for the Wii U, not a console a lot of people really bought. The PokéPark series also deserves a re-release for a new generation of fans.

My preferred method for re-releases would be separate physical copies — not just Nintendo Switch Online titles. I want to be able to boot up my Switch or Switch 2 in 10 years and still have them available to play, even if the subscription service was shut down.

I want to say all of them, but above all, I need b2w2 🥲 b2w2 erasure bothers me and is the one big fear. but the other mainline ds games are priority for me too

I wouldn't even mind if it's no phyiscal re-releases, since frlg on switch is digital only too isn't it? as long as it's a proper standalone re-release with added HOME compatibility... and with some kind of solution for the dreamworld/other global link related features in gen 5 (or i guess in general similar features that were linked to something specific, as was mentioned about the bottom screen for the ds games). also it's too bad there isn't a solution for the different languages and you'd have to buy each language copy separately if you also want to play another language (well, it does have an advantage, namely extra save files/not having to delete your file if you also want to have an immersive approach to a language you're learning by playing your favourite games, but the money lol)

but either way, I hope there will be more to come and that frlg was merely the start

For a long time I would’ve said XD, but we have it now! So instead I’m going to say SM/USUM

I don't really replay games so for the most part, none of the mainline ones come to mind.

But I wouldn't mind seeing the PokePark games and Pokemon Ranger games. I wasn't really able to play either due to the motion control/stylus play and maybe I'd actually get to then (as long as the touch screen wasn't a requirement).

Otherwise, Pokemon Ranch would be nice to have back.
