A new generation of Pokémon is on the horizon. The Pokémon Company has officially unveiled Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves, marking the beginning of Generation 10 and setting the stage for the franchise’s next evolution.
Announced alongside their first reveal trailer, both titles are confirmed to launch in 2027 for the Nintendo Switch 2, signaling a major leap forward for the long-running series. The dual-version format remains intact, but early promotional material suggests distinct thematic identities centered around wind and ocean elements.
One of the biggest highlights from the reveal was the introduction of brand-new Pikachu variants sporting tropical-inspired outfits. These redesigned mascots appear to align with the games’ breezy, island-like aesthetic, hinting at a vibrant new region influenced by coastal landscapes and flowing air currents.
More importantly, fans were introduced to the first partner Pokémon of Generation 10:
- Browt (Grass-type) – A small, leafy creature with a nature-inspired design.
- Pombun (Fire-type) – A fluffy, energetic Pokémon with a fiery crest.
- Gecqua (Water-type) – A sleek, amphibious-looking Pokémon with a calm but confident expression.
While full gameplay details remain under wraps, the reveal trailer teases improved visuals, expanded environmental design, and what appears to be a stronger emphasis on elemental world-building tied directly to the versions’ themes.
With a 2027 release window, anticipation is already building as players speculate about new mechanics, regional forms, and competitive changes that could redefine the meta for the next decade of Pokémon battles.
Generation 10 is officially on the way and the wind and waves are just beginning to rise. Stay tuned to VGNW for more updates, and follow us on X for the latest developments in the world of Pokémon.
