Recent leak material tied to early development data is offering a first possible glimpse at Pokemon Generation 10, currently rumored under the working titles Wind and Wave.
The information describes a multi-island region inspired by Southeast Asia, built around ocean travel, distinct environmental zones, and a legendary duo themed around wind and water. While intriguing, the material remains unconfirmed and subject to change ahead of any official reveal.
Spoiler Warning
The following details are based on unverified leak information and may not reflect the final version of the game. If you prefer to avoid potential spoilers or speculative content, this is the point to stop reading.
A Region Built Around Islands and Ocean Exploration
According to the leak, the new region is composed of numerous individual islands, each focused on a clear biome or gameplay concept. Reported environments include:
- Tropical beaches and mangrove zones
- Volcanic landscapes and deserts
- Rice terraces and snowy mountain peaks
- Ancient ruins and industrial research hubs
- Deep-sea exploration areas beneath the ocean surface
Some islands appear dedicated to single themes, such as specific Gym types, while others combine town infrastructure, laboratories, and narrative locations into larger hubs.
This structure suggests a stronger emphasis on travel, discovery, and environmental variety than previous single-landmass regions.
Recurring Research Labs and a Central Capital
One of the most notable patterns in the leak is the repeated appearance of Majin Research Labs across multiple islands and even ocean zones.
Their widespread placement hints at a core storyline connection, potentially tying together the legendary Pokemon, Titan encounters, or regional mysteries.
A separate island is described as a capital city hub, reportedly containing:
- Major corporate headquarters
- Tourism and support facilities
- Shops and a central Pokemon Center
- A Dark-type Gym
This location may function as the narrative and economic center of the region.
Deep-Sea Zones and Legendary Temples
Beyond surface exploration, the leak references numbered deep-sea areas and a visually distinct location called the Neon Abyss.
Two major temples—linked to Wind and Wave—are also listed, reinforcing the idea of a dual-legendary narrative theme connected to sky and ocean forces.
If accurate, this could mark one of the franchise’s most vertically layered regions, spanning:
- Sky or wind-focused environments
- Traditional land exploration
- Extensive underwater gameplay
Gyms, Titans, and an 18-Challenge Structure
The leak outlines eight Gyms with the following types:
- Grass
- Poison
- Flying
- Fighting
- Dark
- Normal
- Steel
- Fairy
In addition, the overall progression is said to include 18 total major challenges, blending Gym battles with Titan-style encounters.
Implied Titan types reportedly include:
Fire, Water, Electric, Ice, Ground, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Ghost, and Dragon.
This hybrid system could expand on recent open-structure mechanics by combining traditional progression with large-scale boss encounters.
What This Could Mean Ahead of Pokemon Day
Although the leak provides regional structure and gameplay hints, it notably lacks:
- Confirmed new Pokemon species
- Storyline specifics
- Final game titles or release window
With Pokemon Day on February 27 widely expected to feature major announcements, official information may arrive soon—either confirming elements of this leak or taking the series in a different direction entirely.
Until then, the reported island-focused design and expanded challenge system offer an early look at what could become one of the franchise’s most ambitious regional concepts.
