Summary
Game Freak launched Pokemon Scarlet & Violettwo years ago, marking the ninth generation of the franchise. We haven’t heard much about what’s coming next, but according to prominent leaker Centro, Gen 10 will arrive soon enough in 2026.
That means Gen 10 will release for the Nintendo Switch 2 and in time for Pokemon’s 30th anniversary celebrations. Those are the only details we know right now, but Nintendo does have a couple of other Pokemon projects in the works.
When Will Pokemon Legends Z-A Be Released?
Earlier this year,Nintendo announced Pokemon Legends: Z-A, taking us back to the Kalos region in the same vein as Arceus and Sinnoh. We know that it’s launching in 2025, but we don’t have a specific date yet.
According to Centro, we can at least rule outearly2025, narrowing that window down a bit more. Interestingly, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa suggested thatthe Switch 2 won’t launch before April 2025, so we might even be playing Legends: Z-A on the new console as well.
Fans have also beenrecreating Pokemon Fire Red in Terrariawithout using any mods, lovingly bringing the Kanto region to an entirely different game.
The biggest Pokemon game we can expect in the meantime isTCG Pocket, which is still on trackto release sometime this year. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s a digital version of the hit trading card game where you collect and open packs to compete against other players.
You won’t need a fancy new Switch 2 to play it as TCG Pocket will be available on iOS and Android.
