With 2026 hurtling towards its end, we are only a few months away from the year that will not only bring us a brand-new mainline Pokémon installment, but also one which will kickstart the franchise's tenth generation. Titled Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves, it was announced for the first time earlier this year as part of the ongoing 30th anniversary celebrations, but with the game not expected to launch until 2027, details remain scarce.
What we do know, is that Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves will take players to a tropical archipelago region resembling Southeast Asia, where they will have access to multiple islands and accessible underwater areas. We also know the Starter Pokémon who will be joining us: Grass-type Browt, the Fire-type Pombon, and the Water-type Gecqua. However, a leak claims that there will be over 300+ brand-new 'mon added to the Pokédex and, if true, it just goes to show the scale of the next mainline entry. Not only that, but with recent entries being criticized for their lack of ambition, it seems as though Game Freak has certainly taken this onboard.
Other than that, there is not much else we know...
