{{TCGTrainerText|effect=
'''Why [[Tsunekazu Ishihara|Mr. Ishihara]] founded Creatures ————.'''
'''Ishihara:''' I founded [[Creatures, Inc.|Creatures]] in 1995 with the support of [[Nintendo]], because I wanted to do something even more interesting with the staff who developed ''MOTHER 2: GIG's Counterattack'' ({{nw|Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo}}/{{nw|Super Nintendo Entertainment System}}, 1994). At the time, we rented one floor of Nintendo's Kanda Building in {{wp|Kanda-Sudachō}}, and that was our start.
'''The reason for inviting [[Hirokazu Tanaka|Mr. Tanaka]] to be president ————.'''
'''Tanaka:''' The main reason was that Mr. Ishihara established [[The Pokémon Company]], and became the president of the company.
'''Ishihara:''' When I thought about who I would entrust Creatures to, Mr. Tanaka was the first person who came to mind. He has a feeling of mischievousness, and is someone who can think of answers that I haven't thought of.
'''Tanaka:''' Mr. Ishihara called me into the president's office and said, "Mr. Tanaka, you're the president." I didn't expect it at all, so I said, "I have to buy a suit...I have to wear leather shoes..." (laughs). Long before that, I had consulted with Mr. Ishihara at an {{wp|izakaya}} in {{wp|Kanda, Tokyo|Kanda}}. At the time, I had no idea I would become president of the company, but at that izakaya counter, unconsciously and quietly, I had somehow made a decision about my future.}}

This reprint also lacks a regulation mark and is thus not legal for tournament play.

Why Mr. Ishihara founded Creatures ————.

Ishihara: I founded Creatures in 1995 with the support of Nintendo, because I wanted to do something even more interesting with the staff who developed MOTHER 2: GIG's Counterattack (Nintendo/Super Nintendo Entertainment System, 1994). At the time, we rented one floor of Nintendo's Kanda Building in Kanda-Sudachō, and that was our start.

The reason for inviting Mr. Tanaka to be president ————.

Tanaka: The main reason was that Mr. Ishihara established The Pokémon Company, and became the president of the company.

Ishihara: When I thought about who I would entrust Creatures to, Mr. Tanaka was the first person who came to mind. He has a feeling of mischievousness, and is someone who can think of answers that I haven't thought of.

Tanaka: Mr. Ishihara called me into the president's office and said, "Mr. Tanaka, you're the president." I didn't expect it at all, so I said, "I have to buy a suit...I have to wear leather shoes..." (laughs). Long before that, I had consulted with Mr. Ishihara at an izakaya in Kanda. At the time, I had no idea I would become president of the company, but at that izakaya counter, unconsciously and quietly, I had somehow made a decision about my future.

EX Series

The EX Series saw several reprints of Switch, the first of which was included in the EX Ruby & Sapphire expansion, previously released in the Japanese Mudkip Constructed Starter Deck, with new artwork by Hiromichi Sugiyama.

Switch was reprinted in several more Japanese products, including the Rayquaza and Deoxys Constructed Starter Decks, the Gift Box Emerald, the Fire, Water, and Psychic Quick Construction Packs, the Mirage's Mew Constructed Starter Deck, the Movie Commemoration VS Pack: Aura's Lucario, and Master Kit.

HeartGold & SoulSilver Series

Switch was later reclassified in Japan as an Item card during the LEGEND Era, though the English prints did not adopt this naming convention until the Black & White Series.

This print was reprinted in the Japanese Steelix Constructed Standard Deck and the English HS Trainer Kit.

The back contains an excerpt from an interview with Tsunekazu Ishihara and Hirokazu Tanaka. This card has a "25th" stamp next to the illustration, and has a unique collection number, 011/008.

Scarlet & Violet Series

During the Scarlet & Violet Series, Switch was reprinted as part of the Scarlet & Violet expansion with new artwork by Studio Bora Inc., first released in each of the three Japanese ex Starter Sets, as well as the Premium Trainer Box ex. This artwork was also released as one of the Japanese SV-P Promotional cards, numbered 011/SV-P, and was available in the Energy Card Set on January 20, 2023. It was reprinted again as another SV-P Promo, numbered 017/SV-P, that was one of nine possible cards included in special packs sent to Event Organizers in January 2023 for distribution in official events hosted by them. This print features the Event Organizer logo in the bottom right corner of the illustration. A gold etched hyper rare print with artwork by Studio Bora Inc. was included in the 151 expansion, first released in the Japanese Pokémon Card 151 subset.

Unnumbered versions of the Scarlet & Violet print were included in the My First Battle Deck Kits, stamped on the bottom-right with silhouettes of Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle that correspond to each mini deck. These prints lack a regulation mark and have a different card back, making them illegal for tournament play. The Scarlet & Violet print of Switch was reprinted in Holofoil for the high-end Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic deck kit, which was released in October 2023. This reprint also lacks a regulation mark and is thus not legal for tournament play.
