Pokémon Crimson & Crimson – You must keep this memory size free

For Pokémon Crimson & Crimson you have to clear about as much as for Sword & Shield.

Pokémon Crimson & Crimson, the ninth generation of Pokémon, is coming to Nintendo Switch this year. Nintendo has now announced in the eShop what storage space is required on the console to download the game.

Pokémon Crimson & Crimson require the following storage space

In the details of the eShop pages for the two games, Nintendo now has the download size of Pokemon crimson and Pokemon Purple added. Accordingly, each title requires a space of approx 10.24GB. However, this size may change a little before the final launch.

Is there enough space? The Nintendo Switch console comes with only 32 GB of internal memory, of which 6 GB is reserved for the system. So the storage space could be a bit tight here. To expand the available storage space, you should use microSD cards.

The OLED model has 64 GB of storage space, which is why you can download and install several games here without running out of space. But you can also use microSD cards here to expand the storage space.

Crimson & Purple join Sword & Shield

With a download size of around 10.2 GB, Crimson & Crimson is almost the same size as Sword & Shield. The two series parts required 10.3 GB for the release. This means that Crimson & Crimson is one of the largest installments in the Pokémon line.
