A new leak suggests that the next mainline Pokémon game, widely referred to as Pokémon Gen 10, could finally be revealed during the Pokémon Presents showcase on February 27.
While nothing has been officially confirmed yet, multiple reports and leaks indicate that the next-generation Pokémon title may be one of the biggest highlights of the event.
“Wind and Waves” Rumored as Gen 10 Title
According to known leaker Pory_Leeks, the upcoming game could be called Pokémon Wind and Waves. The title has already gained attention after earlier leaks linked it to the next mainline entry in the series.
Although Nintendo has not confirmed the name, the game is widely expected to be in development for the Switch 2, making it one of the most anticipated releases for the upcoming console.

Open-World Island Setting and New Gameplay Ideas
Details about the game first appeared during the Teraleak data breach, which revealed early assets and documents from Game Freak.
Based on those leaks, Pokémon Gen 10 could feature:
- A large open-world environment set across Southeast Asian-inspired islands
- Procedurally generated regions connected through island travel
- Improved visuals compared to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
- New gameplay systems influenced by weather and environmental effects
Battles are still expected to be turn-based, but with smoother transitions and more dynamic mechanics compared to previous titles.
Why This Reveal Matters for Switch 2
Fans have been expecting a Gen 10 reveal for months, especially with no major first-party titles like 3D Mario or Zelda confirmed for the near future.
If announced during Pokémon Presents, the game could become a key title for the Switch 2 launch window or holiday season, helping drive console sales.
This is the first look at Pokemon Gen 10.

Other Games Expected at Pokémon Presents
The February 27 event is expected to feature several other Pokémon titles as well. These may include updates or appearances for Pokémon Sleep, Pokémon Unite, Pokémon Champions, and Pokopia.
However, with the presentation rumored to be around 25 minutes long, not every title may get equal attention.
Conclusion
While still unconfirmed, all signs point toward a possible reveal of Pokémon Gen 10 at the upcoming Pokémon Presents event. If the rumors are true, Wind and Waves could mark a major step forward for the series with a larger world and updated gameplay systems.
For now, fans will have to wait until February 27 to see what Nintendo officially announces.
