Switch ports of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen introduce a fast reset by pressing all four face buttons, which helps shiny hunting but can wipe hours of progress since the games lack autosave; you can prevent accidents by remapping or disabling X or Y in the Switch Accessibility settings (X/Y share with plus/minus on GBA), then re-enable later for shiny hunts.
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.
