A renowned Pokemon leaker and insider has taken to Twitter/X to share a leak regarding Pokemon Winds and Waves' release window, and it's not good news. Pokemon Winds and Waves are the 10th generation of Pokemon games, first revealed with a 3-minute trailer earlier this year on February 27, which is Pokemon Day. The trailer was much more in-depth than the one seen for Gen 9 games, which only revealed the games' titles and the starters. However, it also came with a surprise, as Pokemon Winds and Waves were announced for 2027.
This was not expected by many fans because 2026 marks the 30th anniversary of the series, and also the fourth full year of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, so it was believed that Gen 10 would come out this November. A 2027 release window still makes sense, though, especially considering that Gen 9's reception was very poor due to performance issues and glitches, giving Game Freak more time to polish Gen 10. For fans who were hyped for Pokemon Winds and Waves' starters and the new Southeast Asia region, though, the bad news is that the release may be even further than anticipated.
