10 Biggest Things Revealed in the Massive Pokemon Leak: Gen 10, New Games & More

by

A major leak has revealed details about upcoming Pokémon games and the future plans of The Pokémon Company and Game Freak. Information about generations 10 and 11 suggests significant changes are coming to the series, potentially giving fans what they’ve always wanted. Leaked documents hint at next-level graphics, larger regions to explore, and fresh gameplay ideas. If accurate, these plans show Game Freak is aiming for a big leap forward with Pokémon.

When you see information like this appear online, it’s best to take it with a grain of salt. This information hasn’t been confirmed, and even if it’s accurate now, it could be updated or changed later. However, we’ve gathered the ten most significant details from the Pokémon leak to share with you.

10) Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Dlc Changed How Pokemon Does DLC

Recent leaks showed that the downloadable content for *Pokemon Scarlet* and *Pokemon Violet* was surprisingly expensive – costing almost as much as making *Pokemon Legends: Arceus* from scratch. Because of this, Game Freak intends to keep future DLC more reasonably sized. Fans can expect the upcoming DLC for *Pokemon Legends: Z-A* to reflect this change in approach. The leak also indicated that around 25% of players bought the previous DLC. Furthermore, developing the *Scarlet* and *Violet* DLC proved difficult because it wasn’t part of the original game plan. To avoid similar issues, Game Freak has decided that all future games will be designed with DLC possibilities built in from the beginning.

9) Pokemon Legends: Z-A Has a Surprisingly Low Budget

Recent leaks have given us a peek at the development costs for *Pokemon Legends: Z-A*, which reportedly totaled $13 million. Early reviews suggest the game is well-received, and it appears the investment was worthwhile. While the official release is just days away, leaks from Centro Leaks are already giving fans a preview of the Mega Evolutions featured in the game.

8) Pokemon Champions Gets First Look At Mobile UI

A leaked preview of the upcoming game *Pokemon Champions* reveals it’s planned for both Nintendo Switch and mobile devices. Screenshots of the mobile version show a user interface with touch screen controls for selecting moves, switching Pokemon, and other actions. The leak also includes what seem to be developer tools for testing camera angles. Gameplay footage shows battles featuring Charizard, Lucario, and Beedrill, confirming these Pokemon will be playable in the game.

7) Pokeopia Will Potentially Receive DLC

Although it was just revealed, it looks like *Pokeopia* will have downloadable content (DLC) available after it launches. Game Freak hasn’t shared any specifics yet, but they plan to release the DLC before the next major generation of games (Generation 10) comes out.

6) Unova Remakes Hint Toward Nintendo Switch 3 Release

As a huge Pokémon fan, I was really hoping to hear about remakes of Black and White, and the recent leaks gave us *some* info. Sadly, it doesn’t look like they’re actively working on them right now. But the good news is, Game Freak *has* been talking about them! They know how much we all love those games and they want to do a proper, full remake when the time comes. The leaks suggest we’re going to be waiting a while though – a lot of people are guessing we won’t see them until the next Nintendo console after the Switch!

5) The Pokemon Company Redesigns Multiple Pokemon

Recent leaks suggest that the next generation of Pokémon, currently codenamed ‘Pokémon Wave’ and ‘Wind’, is planned for release in 2026. The project includes updated designs for some Pokémon, which has sparked discussion among fans – even though the changes are expected to be subtle. Leaks indicate that Charizard, Machamp, and Lumineon will receive minor model updates, likely to make them look better with new graphics. While some fans are concerned about the changes, others are hoping these updates might lead to entirely new Pokémon forms.

4) Pokemon Legends: Galar May Be the Next Legends Game

One of the biggest surprises revealed in the recent leaks is a new *Pokemon Legends* game planned for the Galar region. This game would be a prequel, taking place a thousand years before *Pokemon Sword* and *Shield*. Leaked materials showed potential features like a G-Max Nidoking and a screenshot of G-Max Coalossal. The developers reportedly drew inspiration from *Xenoblade Chronicles X*, and the story seems to revolve around creating the very first Gigantamax Ball. If these leaks are accurate, *Pokemon Legends: Galar* is currently slated for release between 2027 and 2028, making it the third installment in the *Pokemon Legends* series.

3) Pokemon’s Generation 11 Slated for a 2030 Release

Recent leaks have given us a glimpse into Game Freak’s plans for the next generation of Pokémon games, Generation 11. Currently, the only details available are a projected release sometime in 2030 and the company’s goal to allow more time for game development. While plans are subject to change given the distant release date, Game Freak intends to begin initial development later this year.

2) Pokemon Generation 10 Reveals Name and Impressive Engine

Leaked documents reveal key details about the next generation of Pokémon games, Generation 10, currently referred to as *Pokémon Wave* and *Pokémon Wind*. The region is heavily inspired by Indonesia and Southeast Asia, featuring a beautiful archipelago similar in style to the tropical environments of *Sun* and *Moon*. Players will focus heavily on exploration, including diving underwater and riding on almost any large Pokémon. The game will also feature some kind of procedural generation to create many different islands, though the exact implementation isn’t clear yet. The game is currently slated for release in 2026.

These games will only be available on the next Nintendo Switch, letting them benefit from its improved power. Leaks suggest Game Freak is experimenting with features commonly found in online multiplayer games, along with significantly upgraded graphics. The game engine demonstrated in the footage showcases realistic water and wind effects, which perfectly match the game’s nature-themed names. A new feature called ‘Seed species’ has also been introduced, though its exact purpose—beyond potentially being a new way to evolve Pokémon—remains unclear.

Details about the new game have emerged, outlining its central goal and key features. Instead of traditional gyms, players will face 18 unique challenges, each themed around a different type of Pokemon. These challenges are currently referred to as the Sustainable Development Goals. The game follows a young child who travels to a new region with their mother for vacation, accompanied by a sibling and rival. The story’s villain is said to be a hotel owner with a troubling view on how humans and Pokemon should live together. A 21-year-old professor specializing in survival skills will act as the player’s guide.

1) Pokemon Seed Is the Pokemon MMO Fans Have Wanted for Years

Project Seed seems to be Game Freak’s most ambitious game to date. Recent leaks suggest it’s a large-scale Pokémon MMO where players can explore familiar regions like Hoenn, Sinnoh, Kanto, and Johto. The game world will be interconnected, allowing players to travel between these areas without interruption.

The game will feature dynamic weather and seasons that impact how you play. Encounters with Pokémon will happen in real-time, creating a more realistic and lively game world where Pokémon appear and disappear based on the time and conditions. Game Freak is currently testing these next-generation features as part of a prototype.
