A large portion of what's known about Pokémon Winds and Waves to date has come from leaks, and the latest look at the game is no exception. While Nintendo showed off the new setting in the reveal trailer for the Generation 10 games, it's been more reticent on displaying actual gameplay mechanics.
One of the biggest questions about Winds and Waves is how much inspiration they'll take from the Legends games, which introduced plenty of new features unfamiliar to the mainline games in the franchise. Now, it's apparent that one of the coolest gameplay mechanics in the Legends games will indeed be making its way over to Gen 10.
Reddit user SnooSprouts3744 shared a snippet of Winds and Waves gameplay from "teraleak," the common name for the major Pokémon leak that first revealed major information about the franchise's upcoming games. The video shows a player character throwing a Pokéball without being engaged in a battle menu, seemingly confirming that this option from the Legends games will be returning.
There's ultimately no guarantee that anything from the teraleak will be in the final version of Pokémon Winds and Waves, but it seems unlikely that Nintendo would include a fan-favorite feature...
