Surprise Pokémon Leak Reveals Fresh Clues About The New Gen 10 Games

By Kenneth ShepardKotaku

The Pokémon Company seems likely to reveal the upcoming Generation X games in February on the series’ 30th anniversary, but if leakers have anything to say about it, Game Freak might not have much new information to give us by the time that showcase arrives. On December 24, a series of new leaks about the games, allegedly titled Pokémon Wind and Wave , began spreading online. We’ve gotten a few waves (sorry) of information since the massive Teraleak in October, but now we know a little bit more about the games’ map, battle gimmick, and have even our first look at the new region’s professor. The latest info was posted on X early today by self-described Pokémon detective Moot Monthly . All of these new images, animations, and illustrations are reportedly from this existing leak, so it’s entirely possible they aren’t indicative of the final games that will eventually ship on Switch 2. But they do give us some interesting insight into what Game Freak has been working on for the next mainline entries.

Apparently, the professor will ride around in a car and appear in multiple locations in the games’ archipelago setting. Right now, all we know is that he appears to be an older man with thick eyebrows and a beard.

Its beta map shows several islands that the player will be able to explore. Early reports say they will be procedurally generated, so it’s unclear if the map is a sort of presumed “default” shape for these islands or if the terrain is what changes for each player, rather than the shape of the landmass.

What we can see for now is that this phenomenon will seemingly distort a Pokémon’s physical shape...
