    Hi everyone. I'm currently without a wireless router. I'm curious if previous generations of Pokémon games are available for download on the e shop? I'm talking about ones from Game Boy on up?

    Once I get that new router hooked up I'm wanting to replay some of them.
     
    Basically no. If remakes are ok, then Diamond/Pearl is on the Switch via its remakes in BDSP, and Gen 1 (sorta) via Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee. Other than that, the older gens aren't available on the Switch eShop in any fashion.
     
    'Nah' is technically incorrect since you can buy some sidegames from the NSO program (TCG for GBC, both Stadiums, the OG Pokémon Snap, Puzzle League and if I recall XD and Colosseum were recently added)
