Since its debut in 1996, nine generations of main seriesPokemongames have been released, with more on the way.
The Generation 9Pokemongames were released in 2022 in the form ofPokemon Scarlet and Violet. The open world Switch games were released to mixed reviews from fans and critics alike, with many underwhelmed by their technical performance and taking issue with a variety of other problems. Despite this,Pokemon Scarlet and Violethave sold incredibly well, and many fans are excited to see where the franchise goes with the eventual Generation 10 games.
Unfortunately for hardcorePokemonfans, it seems that they will have to wait a long time to learn more about the Generation 10Pokemongames. Reputable leaker, Riddler_Khu, has teased that theGeneration 10Pokemongameswill be released to coincide with the franchise’s 30th anniversary in 2026.

Leaker Suggests Generation 10 Pokemon Games Are Coming in 2026
Riddler_Khu has a history of accurately leakingPokemonnews, and so there’s little reason to doubt them now, but fans should still take these claims with a grain of salt. The only official news we have about futurePokemongames is thatPokemon Legends: Z-Ais releasing for the Switch in 2025. The Generation 10Pokemongames have not been announced at the time of this writing, so fans should treat information about them with skepticism.
Assuming these claims are accurate, though, it would suggest that the Generation 10Pokemongames are being developed for the Switch successor console. Nintendo has finally confirmed thatthe Switch 2 is in development, though it has stopped short of providing any other details about the mysterious device. It’s believed that the Switch 2 will launch at some point in 2025, perhaps in the second half of that year, but it’s possible more information on it will come before 2024 is out.
While official details on the Switch 2 and the Generation 10Pokemongames have not been revealed just yet, there have been hints that the games may beset in a region based on Australia. It will be interesting to see if those theories are true when the Generation 10Pokemongames are finally revealed to the public.
