Official Pokémon Account Posts HD Ruby and Sapphire Clip, Fueling Switch Port Speculation

An official Pokémon social media account posted a 30-second high-definition clip of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire on September 21, 2026. The footage appears to run on an emulator rather than original Game Boy Advance hardware, leading fans to speculate that Nintendo Switch ports are imminent. This follows the successful release of FireRed and LeafGreen ports earlier in 2026, which sold over 4 million units in their first six weeks. While dataminers found ROM support for Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald in the FireRed/LeafGreen Switch code, no official announcement has been made. Leakers previously suggested a late September or October release for $20 each, but this remains unconfirmed.

"Pokémon Fan Game Site Shut Down After Decade-Long Run Due to DMCA Notice"

After nearly a decade, the long-running Pokémon fan game site Relic Castle has shut down following a DMCA takedown notice, stripping the website of its resources.

"Insights from Former Pokémon Lawyer: Why Nintendo Targets Fan Projects"

Former chief legal officer of The Pokémon Company, Don McGowan, revealed that the company didn't actively seek out fan projects to shut down but only did so when they crossed a certain line, such as getting funded. Despite the company's reluctance to sue fans, there have been instances of Pokémon fan projects being issued takedown notices, leading to their removal. The Pokémon Company's response to the Palworld game, which drew comparisons to Pokémon, was fairly tame, and legal experts believe a lawsuit is unlikely.
