by

It’s been quite a while since the release of Pokémon’s Generation 9, which likely means Game Freak is developing a major new project.

Recent leaks suggest a major new installment, Generation 10, is coming and could drastically change the entire series.

You’ve probably heard rumors about a new Pokémon game, potentially called Pokémon Winds and Waves. Here’s a breakdown of the latest leaks about the upcoming Generation 10 game.

Pokémon Winds and Waves rumours: Gen 10 leaks explained

Okay, so everyone’s buzzing about a potential new Pokémon game called ‘Pokémon Winds and Waves’. It all started with this massive leak online – people are calling it a ‘teraleak’ because of how much info spilled. Apparently, it’s details about what Game Freak is working on, and it’s got fans super excited!

The information comes from Centro Leaks, a well-known and generally reliable source for Pokémon news. While it’s always wise to be cautious, there’s good reason to believe these leaks are accurate.

Okay, so the buzz is that Shigeru Ohmori – you know, the main director for the core Pokémon games since Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire back in 2014 – is heading up development on these new titles. What’s even crazier is that the leaks apparently come from his *own* internal documents. It all seems pretty legit if that’s true!

The new Pokémon game, Winds and Waves, seems to be set in a region inspired by Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia. The game’s environment will heavily feature the natural beauty and island landscapes of the area.

So, I’m hearing this also goes for the special legendary Pokémon you get from the boxes – the ones called ‘Storm’ and ‘Wave’. It kinda makes sense, right? They control the wind and waves! Not exactly a shocker, but cool nonetheless.

Weather is believed to influence battles, and there are even techniques called “Tenko-Waza” – literally “weather moves” – that take advantage of it.

The games will likely pit you against a villainous group that harms the environment for financial gain. Your opponent will be a local child deeply connected to the islands’ natural world.

So, from what I’m hearing, the game’s gonna be pretty similar to Scarlet and Violet in how you move forward – you’ll be hitting up Gyms and battling these huge Titan Pokémon. But it sounds like the big focus this time is all about sustainability and protecting nature, which will be a big part of the challenges you face. It’s cool they’re tying the gameplay into that theme!

This game would be a major leap forward for the series, as it’s the first to be built with a brand-new, in-house engine called Pokémon Engine X. This new engine promised significantly improved graphics compared to earlier Pokémon games.

The game is currently planned to launch in 2026, and we expect additional downloadable content to be released in 2027. A specific release month hasn’t been announced yet.
