Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen launched as Nintendo Switch ports on February 27, 2026, bringing the Kanto region — and Professor Oak — to a new generation of players. One detail made headlines on its own: the name-entry screen no longer accepts the profanity players used to sneak in as their rival's name to insult Oak in the original GBA release.

This ARTFX J statue from Kotobukiya pairs Professor Oak with Bulbasaur, one of the three starters he hands out at the start of every Kanto game. It's sold out direct at CDJapan, reachable now through their Proxy Shopping Service.
