video game,star wars video gamesYou Have To Be In Japan For This Awesome Pokemon FireRed And LeafGreen Special Edition

The forthcoming rerelease of Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen on Nintendo Switch is an odd one, as it'll be standalone and cost $20 for each version. This release gets stranger when you factor in that Japan is getting what appears to be an exclusive special edition with some appealing goodies.

Per the Japanese Pokemon website (spotted by Nintendo Life), this special edition includes reproductions of the original Game Boy Advance packaging for the classic Pokemon games. It also comes with a special case that holds three glass Poke Balls depicting the Kanto starters: Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle.

The set comes with a download code for FireRed or LeafGreen, depending on which version you purchase. Pokemon Center Online lists the special edition with a price of 19,800 yen, which is a little over $127 USD.

Kratos doesn't tend to talk too much, saying only what he needs to and grunting the rest of the time. However, he had a lot to say this time, with voice actor Christopher Judge talking a bit too much about developer Santa Monica Studio's God of War trilogy remake.

As spotted by Kotaku, YouTuber Fuzhpuzy posted their encounter with Judge at Fan Expo Vancouver 2026. The video has since been deleted, but mirrors of it are still up. Fuzhpuzy had asked if Judge was playing Kratos in the remake trilogy, to which he reiterated that Kratos' original voice actor, T.C. Carson, will reprise his role as the God of War.

Judge also told Fuzhpuzy that the team is "putting all the new technology in it [and] adding more stuff" to the God of War remake trilogy, including "a fighting system." He later said that "you'll then be hearing about what we're doing probably later this summer." And no, he doesn't voice Kratos in God of War Sons of Sparta, either.
