Pokemon Gen-10 Leak Reveals 2026 Nintendo Switch 2 Release Date

Pokemon Gen-10 Leak Reveals 2026 Nintendo Switch 2 Release Date

As a dedicated Pokémon fan since the early days of Red and Blue, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and frustration upon hearing the latest rumor about Gen-10’s release date. If this leak is indeed accurate, it seems that our patience will be tested yet again, with another three years to go before we can immerse ourselves in a new Pokémon adventure.


A recent leak suggests that the upcoming Pokemon title, Gen-10, is expected to launch on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. This is a departure from the typical three-year cycle between mainline Pokemon games, as it’s been two years since Pokemon Scarlet and Violet hit shelves in 2020, five years since Gen-8 (Pokemon Sword and Shield) debuted in 2019, and even longer since Pokemon Sun and Moon in 2016. This indicates that the usual three-year pattern might be changing for the next major Pokemon game.

The latest rumor comes from prolific Pokemon leaker Riddler Khu, a source that has proven reliable in the past and a source who has been off the mark in the past as well, which is worth taking into consideration when considering the latest tidbit from the source.

As an enthusiastic follower, I can share that the source of the leak isn’t revealing much about the upcoming game, but they assertively claim it won’t drop until 2026, presumably around the holiday season, similar to past Pokémon games, although this particular detail isn’t explicitly stated. The only other intriguing element mentioned is a “folded hands” emoji, which seems to be a hint, but the specific meaning behind it as a teaser remains somewhat elusive.

For people not acquainted with this particular emoji, it’s also known as the prayer emoji or the virtual high-five emoji, yet its formal title is the hand-folded emoji. Here’s how it looks:

At present, consider the information below with a healthy dose of skepticism. While the year 2026 might be correct, it’s important to remember that dates are often flexible and may alter over time. Neither Nintendo nor The Pokemon Company has provided any official comments regarding this rumor or its associated speculation. Despite our suspicions, it’s possible that new information may emerge, in which case we will promptly update the story accordingly.
