Pokemon Winds and Waves announced, only on Nintendo Switch 2

Following various leaks, Pokemon Gen 10 has been officially announced as Pokemon Winds and Waves, with the upcoming games on the way to Nintendo Switch 2. They’ll be out in 2027. Note that these titles will not be released on the original Nintendo Switch.

Pokemon Winds and Waves will be the next generation following Scarlet and Violet. The announcement notes that the games “feature an open world to explore, with beautiful windswept islands and a vast ocean with glittering waves.”

The only other information shared thus far is as follows:

Trainers will play as the main character of this adventure, where they will have a different outfit depending on the version they are playing. Players will then choose their first partner Pokémon – either Browt, the Bean Chick Pokémon; Pombon, the Puppy Pokémon; or Gecqua, the Water Gecko Pokémon – before setting off on their journey.

We have the first trailer for Pokemon Winds and Waves below.
