The European eShop pages for the FRLG re-releases all include the following disclaimer:
>Note: Some features may differ from those on the Game Boy Advance version of Pokémon FireRed Version.
https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/Pokemon-FireRed-Version-3031207.html
This disclaimer is not present in any of the US/Canadian, Latin American, Japanese, or Australian eShop pages for the games.
In addition, the ESRB rating for the re-releases has been upgraded to E10+ and includes a mention of "simulated gambling", meanwhile the European PEGI rating remains 3+ and has no mention of gambling.
PEGI's guidelines are incredibly strict on any and all depictions of gambling or casinos in video games, and thus would necessitate a 12+ rating at a minimum (or possibly even 18+) if all content was left intact.
The European versions of these Switch re-releases are definitely censored and will cut the Game Corner in some way. The European eShop pages also list the game's filesize as 39MB, whereas the US and other pages say 40MB, the missing 1MB is likely the cut Game Corner content.
