Nintendo announced the Game Boy Advance game Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team is coming to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack on Friday, August 9 as part of the Game Boy Advance – Nintendo Switch Online library.

Read details on the game below:

All of a sudden, you’ve found yourself in a new world, one where you’re now a Pokemon yourself and can speak and interact with other Pokemon. The adventure begins when you and your partner Pokemon set out on rescue missions in a world ravaged by natural disasters. But what is your true purpose and destiny in this Pokemon world? That’s the real mystery!

As the hero of this journey, you’ll begin the game by taking a personality quiz, with the results determining which Pokemon you will become out of several options, including Pikachu, Eevee, Charmander, Totodile and Chikorita—just to name a few. From there you’ll select your partner Pokemon before being whisked to a world full of Pokemon to befriend and dungeons to explore. Form your rescue team, take on mysterious changing dungeons and engage in strategic, turn-based battles in this game originally available on the Game Boy Advance system.

Kinda annoying that the Pokemon game they finally add is one that already has a remake on the Switch.

Those are DS games, which doesn’t have a section within NSO so they won’t be added.
Also not a system Nintendo are likely to add in the future due to dualscreen/touchscreen interfaces being awkward to make playable in the Switch.

No, that's a false narrative I continue to see get repeated.

DS games were fully playable on a SINGLE screen on the Wii U gamepad so saying the lack of dual screens as a reason for DS games not coming to Switch or Switch2 is blatantly untrue.

Not to mention you can easily emulate DS games on the SDeck and modern phones.

I was more asking about the DX remakes, like rescue team DX specifically for switch

Explorers of sky is one of my top games of all time and I would like to play it again (I don't have a steam deck)

Oh, sorry I missed that.
Given Nintendo’s track record with remakes for the mainline games, I’d say that’s more likely for the Switch successor. They only seem to do one series remake per console.

If emulator makers figured out how to make the dual screen work on PC and mobile, Nintendo can certainly make it work on the Switch. Which makes me wonder why is taking them so long to implement a DS virtual console.
