Liverpool FC You'll Never Walk Alone

It's common knowledge that many footballers enjoy video games in their free time. Neymar and his addiction to Counter-Strike 2 and Antoine Griezmann and his passion for Fortnite are good examples of this. Today, a new addition to the list has also surprised everyone with his favorite game: Alexis Mac Allister , an undisputed midfielder in Liverpool's starting XI and a world champion with Argentina in Qatar 2022 alongside Leo Messi and Julián Álvarez, among others. His passion? Pokémon Ruby!

During his appearance on an Argentine radio show ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifier between Argentina and Uruguay on Saturday, March 22 at 12:30 a.m., Mac Allister confessed that he spends a good part of his free time playing Pokémon Ruby: “ I went back to the excellent one, to my childhood .” The interviewer demonstrated his knowledge of the Game Freak series and asked him if he was playing “the old one” (Game Boy Advance) or the other one (alluding to the remake for Nintendo 3DS). The Argentine footballer didn't hesitate for a second to respond: “ The old one, the old one .”

Without a doubt, we're talking about one of those games that millions of fans want to see return in the form of a remake or remaster for Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2. The reason is very obvious, since today it's impossible to find Pokémon Ruby, since it's not available on any modern console. In other words, the only options to play it are through the original Pokémon Ruby cartridge for Game Boy Advance as Mac Allister does or the fantastic remake called Pokémon Omega Ruby for Nintendo 3DS .

Speaking of Nintendo Switch 2, and although we don't know if the Japanese company will surprise everyone with a remake of Pokémon Ruby, it's worth remembering that Nintendo's new console will be unveiled in a Nintendo Direct scheduled for Wednesday, April 2, 2025. Of course, at MeriStation we'll be live to tell you absolutely everything: release date, price, first games, and much more.
