There has been another leak about Pokémon Winds and Waves that suggests the Generation 10 games will, indeed, get a price hike, which will be a brutal punch in the gut for players. There has been some debate regarding the pricing for the next couple of games. In May, there was a leak about the Pokémon Winds and Waves pre-order prices, which had appeared costing €79.99 in a listing on Amazon Germany, which may translate to $79.99 USD – or, at least, that is what players are speculating.
There has been a new update on the matter. A post made by Centro Leaks on X highlights that a lot of underrated information about the franchise has leaked. The leak suggests that The Pokémon Company has been wanting to push for a price increase for Pokémon games beyond the $60 price range since Gen 8’s Sword and Shield, which were released in 2019. According to the post, this wasn’t possible at the time because the increased prices hadn’t been standardized in North America.
The confirmation that the company has wanted to increase prices for some time is daunting news, especially in light of what is currently happening in the industry....
