Rumors and Leaks: What to Expect from Pokemon Generation 10 on Nintendo Switch 2
2025-07-01 00:27:04Exciting new leaks are surfacing about the highly anticipated Generation 10 Pokemon game, rumored to be in development for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While Pokemon Scarlet and Violet were released on the original Switch in 2022, speculation is growing about what the next generation will bring, especially with the recent launch of the Switch 2.
Several leaks suggest that Game Freak is shifting its focus to the Nintendo Switch 2 following the release of Pokemon Legends: Z-A later this year. The next mainline Pokemon game, reportedly codenamed 'Gaia,' might already be in development. Additionally, rumors indicate that the new region could be inspired by Greece's Cyclades islands, potentially introducing Pokemon based on ancient Greek mythology.
A recent leak, shared by Pokemon-focused social media accounts like Hidden Power Podcast, includes a blurry screenshot of a battle scene. The image appears to feature Aron and Lairon, Rock/Steel type Pokemon from Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, facing an unknown opponent. While Aggron, the final evolution in this line, isn't visible, its inclusion seems likely if its pre-evolutions are present.
The leak also mentions two additional screenshots featuring Charjabug and Butterfree, both part of evolutionary chains. Charjabug evolves into Vikavolt, while Butterfree, a classic Gen 1 Pokemon, evolves from Caterpie and Metapod. However, none of these claims have been officially verified, so fans should remain cautious.

As with all leaks, skepticism is advised. The images could be fake or part of early testing phases where Pokemon might be replaced later. While fans await official news about Generation 10, they can look forward to Pokemon Legends: Z-A, set to release on both the original Switch and Switch 2 on October 16.
