The Issue

For many Pokémon fans, including myself, there are cherished memories tied to playing Pokémon games on our beloved Nintendo Switch 1. However, the recent trend of exclusive releases on newer Switch models has left many devoted players in the lurch. Among the games that have captured our hearts, Pokémon Winds and Waves, as well as Pokotopia, stand out as titles we eagerly want to experience. Yet, they remain conspicuously absent from the Switch 1 library.

It's not just a game for us; it's an experience, a journey back to simpler times when we first caught our favorite Pokémon and embarked on adventures that shaped our love for gaming. Unfortunately, not everyone can easily upgrade to the latest console, and it's disheartening to feel left out of the newly released treasures that expand the Pokémon universe.

Consider this: there are millions who invested in the Switch 1, and many of these fans remain loyal Nintendo supporters. It's crucial that gaming continues to be an inclusive hobby where everyone has access, regardless of the version of console they own. By making Pokémon Winds and Waves and Pokotopia available for the Nintendo Switch 1, Nintendo can reaffirm its commitment to inclusivity and accessibility.

Additionally, porting these games to the Switch 1 isn't just a nod to accessibility but a financially prudent decision. Broadening the audience who can purchase these titles translates to increased sales and a strengthened, devoted fan base. Thereby, it's not only beneficial for gamers but also for Nintendo's legacy and business.

Join me in urging Nintendo to release Pokémon Winds and Waves and Pokotopia for Nintendo Switch 1. Sign this petition if you believe in inclusive gaming and want to bring these beloved Pokémon experiences to a wider audience. Together, we can make a difference.  So far these games will only on switch 2
