Whatever your favorite game in the series happens to be, there are some universally recognized high points that are deserving of all the praise they get. Near the top of that hypothetical list for a lot of people is Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire, the first installments in the third generation, which brought us two of the best Legendaries in the franchise to date.
The games have remained relevant over the years thanks to the remakes, and a resurgence in the desire of fans to return to the older games between major mainline releases. Despite all of that, the games have remained frustratingly out of reach for Nintendo Switch players, who still can't enjoy the title as part of the console's collection of classic games.
Now, news that they could be on the way has broken, but it seems as though they might take a little longer to release than we were expecting.
In case you missed the initial announcement, Shpeshal Nick (who regularly posts inside information about upcoming releases from Nintendo) shared a post stating that ports of Pokémon Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire were planned for late September/October.
Given that we're now in November and we haven't heard anything from Nintendo...
