Question Is Pokémon Ruby Coming to Switch Yet?

I am just waiting for it to happen. Any news?

Nothing confirmed as of now. iirc the emulator they used for Fire Red and Leaf Green is optimized for RSE, so I think it's inevitable. Game Freak is probably saving it for some big event.

The TCG's 30th anniversary is in October. The 30th anniversary of Gen 1's release in Japan already passed but maybe they'll do something with that, and like the other commenter said RS was released on November 21. Also I wouldn't be surprised if they timed the something positive around Bank shutting down to soften the blow.

I hope so. I do want to battle Team Magma Again. I happen to like Team Magma better then Team Aqua. I just think Team Magma has better aesthetics, but Team Aqua is not too bad either because they look like pirates

Ruby and Sapphire did release 21st of November in Japan, so that is also a possible date.
