I am not really into Pokémon but could it be that Gen 10 for late 2026 could get announced here. Again: I do not see Nintendo leaving out a plattform with probably 155- 160 million+ users when Gen 10 launches...
Finally some Legends ZA news.
Maybe a new eevee evo too?
If they follow their established pattern, this would be where they announce Gen 10 for release later this year.
However with Legends Z-A also slated for later this year, that may disrupt that, assuming it doesn’t release in the spring/early summer.
What established pattern are you talking about? Doesn’t GF usually save next gens for two/three years after the latest system releases? In which case, we shouldn’t expect anything Gen 10 related until 2026 at the soonest.
The pattern Im referring to is that GF releases a new Generation every 3 years like clockwork and has done since 2010.
2010 Gen 5
2013 Gen 6
2016 Gen 7
2019 Gen 8
2022 Gen 9
The games have tended to be announced in February’s Pokemon Presents so this would fit that pattern. Whether Switch 2 and/or Legends Z-A alters the pattern though remains to be seen.
ah i see!
The longest the Pokemon series has never gone less than 3 years or over 4 years between main entries since the series began. Even if they somehow broke their current pattern for whatever reason, it'd be hard to imagine not getting a new game by the end of 2026.
The fact that Game Freak often focuses on older hardware is more of a result of them tending to use older tech in their games and/or coincidentally releasing at awkward points during generational transitions (2010 to 2012 for Gen 5 and 2016 to 2017 for Gen 7).
idk my current theory is that Nintendo is “placing their thumb down” on the GF Pokémon pipeline following the backlash to ScVi. (Which, to clarify, I understand Nintendo only owns 100% of GF stakes; they don’t own them. However, they do have lots of influence.) Seeing that the series is currently undergoing (i believe) its long drought w/o new releases ever, I wouldn’t be surprised if they 3y trend is finally broken…but ScVi also did sell like hotcakes, regardless of the controversy. So who knows!
