No. Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version for Nintendo Switch are digital Nintendo eShop purchases; Nintendo says they will not receive physical releases. In the US, each game is listed at $19.99, or $39.98 before tax for both as separate purchases.
Is there a physical Switch edition?
No. Nintendo Support states that the Switch games “will not receive physical releases” and will be available as digital software in Nintendo eShop. Nintendo’s mention of availability at select retailers does not mean cartridge editions are being sold: the retailer reference concerns access to the digital games, not a physical Switch copy.
