Some very good Pokémon news! 🙏🏼
Riddler Khu isn't a reliable source anymore though
I just hope legends ZA doest get the legends of arceus treatment what I mean by that is the abanding the gams shortly after the game comes out with legends of arceus their was no dlc very very few mystery gifts but sword and sheild and Scarlett and violet got dlc. So I'm ganna be possed off is legends of ZA doest get dlc,events and mystery gifts the hole reason why legends of arceus sales fell off compared to pokemon S&V was due to rumors of dpc for S&V were rumored and leaked days after the relase of S&V pared with S&V was a new generation of pokemon and pokemon games tend to sell more when it's a new generation vs a remake in most cases.
Cope
Is Ash back to Anime 2025 yes or no
@@codystromsness2130 I agree. I LOVED Pokemon Legends Arceus and could play it for hours on end. I refused to touch Scarlet and Violet. What a fucking piece of shit.
We want quality over quantity, we don't want more Pokemon games, we want good Pokemon games.
*more good pokemon games
I support the Pokémon games taking two or more years to be made with anime graphics for fun gameplay content.
Spoken like a true fan of the franchise. I've been following Pokemon almost as long as it's been around, so I can confirm for a fact that I feel the same way.
He does not speak for all of us, I want quantity cause I think so far all the games have been masterpieces ( except sun and moon )
@@landonpoland5092 Gen 5 was peak programming for Pokemon. After Gen 5 their lead coder died and the games went downhill ever since.
Preferrably they shoudn't rush Gen 10 to coincide with the 30th anniversary but this current release schedule seems promising.
2026 is probably the best outcome to be honest considering that by default if its 2026 it will have more devtime than sv and swsh
I agree completely
Much agreed. This "meeting deadlines" malarkey has not been good for the franchise. It needs to slow down and focus on quality.
Gen 10 will be released in 2026
@AdamDawson3 spoken like a true mindless drone just out here to troll people. Your mother must be proud.
Just give me a complete game... no DLC, just a complete game.
Nothing is wrong with having DLC as long as it’s not required to truly enjoy the base game and as long as there is more than enough content in the base game.
Never 🤑
nothing wrong with DLC.
If you poor just do not complain about DLC!
Dlc does not mean incomplete.
To be honest, I think the games probably won't be as polished as we think despite a longer timeline 😅😅
I agree, every game has bugs. Evey. Game. Cyberpunk for instance... Look at Bethesda games. Time = quality is not fact. The franchise is already losing steam between a lack of game, a lackluster teaser, uninteresting 7 star raids, and the absolute dismal state of PoGo. Frankly, it's disappointing how much radio silence there is.
@@JeanDefee the radio silence helps, i swear some people complain just to complain
@@ratedr7845 I don't see how, but an opinion is an opinion.
@@JeanDefee if we got all the details about how the game is being made I promise you everyone would be whining about the designs, mechanics, the region, etc. some within reason others without one , the radio silence is not necessarily a bad thing since it gives the devs an opportunity to focus on their vision for the games, but it can be a bad sign if we don't get to hear absolutely nothing about it (valve style)
Agreed
Fair to say, the fact that refunds were issued for Scarlet and Violet probably forced Nintendo to meet Gamefreak and TPC to get their acts together since Pokemon is such a big first-party title, especially when no Nintendo-based first-party titles were released in other platforms EVER. However, the future seems bright given that their last Direct put them in a position way ahead of both Sony and Xbox.
People wanting refunds for Scarlet & VIolet were being ridiculous
I doubt that refund were the problem seeing as games sales are through the roof. And not only that it was leaked the game was glitchy and all the reviews when the game came out said it was glitchy. The expectation for the very 1st open world pokemon game was glitchy we all knew it was coming that way.
@@AdamDawson3 No, they weren't. The game glitching as much as it did at launch, falling through the floor, the game constantly studdering, memory leaks deleting people's Pokemon, the game crashing at random, etc. Nintendo giving full refunds was a good move. It would have looked REALLY bad if they sold such a defective product and squirreled the profits away.
@@DSmith3279And not just deleting some people’s Pokémon, but due to something in the code from an update (if that’s what it was) there were MULTIPLE cases of people getting their save datas corrupted and losing all their progress!
@@shawnschaefer4485 The games do sell very well, but as a company that is very overprotective of its IPs, Nintendo would stand to lose face if they can't even properly develop games based on their IPs (regardless of sales revenues) eepecially since people tend to make arguably better fan-made games based on the same IPs.
The fact they're (Supposedly) working on both ZA and Gen 10 at the same time tells me this isn't the good timeline. They're splitting the team again when they shouldn't be. If they put all hands on deck for both then we'll get quality insurance. If they split the team up then we risk one or both games being fucked like last time. I'm hoping the Gen 10 rumor is false for that exact reason, because if isn't then we're almost guaranteed to be screwed.
Having multiple teams work on multiple games at once isn't an issue for a franchise as massive as Pokemon. The issue lies within not giving the teams enough time to make something proper. Just take Palworld as an example, it was made by a small team and some of them had no prior experience in developing games. They were given the time and somehow made something that sold as many copies as a mainline pokemon game despite being a studio nobody knew about before.
So they're doing the mappa studio work style.
I doubt it. Gen 10 might have been in development at the same time as ZA.
@@GiordanDiodato I hope not.
I will believe them listening after I see the final product, spacing out releases isn’t the only issue Pokemon suffers from.
(Cough cough) BGG (Cough cough)
I also fail to see how this counts as spacing out releases anyway. PLA came out in 2022. The next Legends game is coming in 2025. That's a 3 year dev time, which is exactly what it's been for all recent Pokemon games, basically since X&Y. It's like people can't do math.
I really hope this means they're slowing down. Not only do I still play SV and my older switch Pokemon games, I still play the ones from older consoles. We don't need a constant stream of new Pokemon games, we need the new ones that do come out to be at least as high of quality as the classics.
That. It’s a miracle that despite its clearly unpolished status, I still can enjoy the heck of pokemon Violet… And kinda sad too, withone more year of development, it could have literally beaten Emerald and HGSS as the best pokemon game ever (third best is nothing to scoff at though).
agreed. if they really need constant releases for some reason, they could alway outsource and get some more spin off series going like conquest, ranger and mystery dungeon.
Same, I'm in the middle of a Prof Oak challenge in ORAS right now because I refuse to pay full price for a game as buggy as SV but still want to play Pokemon. After I'm done with this challenge I'll probably try to complete the dex in Legends just for a console change. And if they released a Pokemon Cyan or something as a fixed version of SV I'd probably buy it after checking reviews. But the fact they haven't managed to fix a lot of the non-game breaking bugs tells me the base of the games is just THAT bad.
I want them to take the time to build a solid base for Gen 10 so I can go back to playing the games on release.
They seriously need to give us the older games on the new consoles😭 plat and bw2 are my favorites but I lost my cartridges and I don't like emulating them😭
@@serviper3908 We got RBY and GSC for the 20th anniversary, maybe we’ll get RSE and DPP for the 30th or 40th…
I clicked on this because I thought it was going to be about the Pokémon company giving us a comprehensive timeline for when all the games take place .
same
Me too
I just got back into Pokemon (gen 1 nerd) is that really what people are on about? Since Pokemon has new monsters every few years isn't the timeline absolutely ruined? How would they even begin to put together a timeline when retcons are basically the canon (most consistent feature)
Same, kind of disappointed but still interesting
I'm really hoping they just let it cook so it can be as best it truly can be
Same here. I loved Legends Arceus so they can take their time to make this one even better
If they REALLY want to stick with yearly releases, the smart move would be to work on building more teams of competent devs so they can work on more projects at once, giving each more time for development. They can definitely afford it, and let's face it, Pokemon games have ALWAYS been made by teams that, quite frankly, aren't all that skilled on a technical level. They were able to coast by on weaker hardware for many years, but they just don't have what it takes to properly optimize games on the Switch.
I agree the best timeline for Pokémon would be
Pokémon Legends Z-A releasing in November 2025-December 2025
Gen 10 releasing in November 2026- December 2026
gen 10 will be releasing in 2025, not 2026.

(And calm down? What about what I said implied I was getting worked up?)
Pokemon is the biggest multimedia franchise of the world. If they choose to put more effort and time into it and hire more employees, they can do so immediately. They just need a push and Scarlet Violet was that push. They just couldn't release scarlet and violet that game just wasn't ready yet but they did it anyway. Even though gen 9 sold super well, they can't release another game with this performance and with so many glitches
I agree
Except they can, all they care about is the money
And do we get spin offs with WiFi battles in that case?
@@MelancholyJoker19 Nintendo definitely game freak though I feel like they do actually care about the game. They’re just not given enough time. They wouldn’t be as much thought put into the design the region the characters and all of the world building if they just didn’t care at all
@@MelancholyJoker19 if gen 10 is even worse in terms of problems, like going from 8 to 9 was..... it could turn numbers of refuends WAY UP.
Hopefully they listen to the most important parts of this video

Being a Pokémon fan now a days is so expensive
That’s why the older games are worth so much…
They don’t make them like they used to anymore..
Have friends or spend $200 on another ds for trade evos.
Or just emulate for cheats or have action replay.
Old good new bad 🤓☝️
@@RickyRiceBNah, I never bothered with trade evos aside from filling my dex and still got way more out of the older games (esp crystal and platinum) than anything post ORAS, at best. The amount of post game content just keeps slipping, that's where the value is in older games.
I would do anything to get something similar to the pokemon world tournament in bw2 but make it like sun and moon where the characters has aged
@@Nordisk11 New good old bad 🤓☝🏻
I mean between fans complaining and fans opting for Palworld, I'd take a gap year to assess my business practices too.
Scarlet and Violet could have masterpieces if they had only spent 1-2 years more in development and polishing the good stuff that was already there. As it is, it felt like an apology for SwSh that was severely gimped and hampered by the release schedule.
And people say it is lazy, when in reality game is rush. Like people complaining that cyberpunk took so long, when they realesed they complained that the game is unfinished.
@@leaderteammimikyu3024 exactly. Now, SwSh were lazy AND rushed.
Please, don't fully trust in Centro Leaks. They "confirmed" Pokemon Star in 2021 and that Switch 2 would be announced in first half 2023 (Then delete the posts) lol. I was in their FB Group and all the mods are kids who block all users that thinks different to them. Oh, and i won't have hope to high. Everybody knows that when they show the first trailer with the note "No final product" we will say "I know graphics are not everything, but...". But hey, if they show something that can shout my mouth, I'm fine with that.
I understand knu got stuff right on the last few games. But we have to also remember he didnt know about ZA hours before its reveal trailer. So be very very skeptical of his information he also started slipping on infor towards the end of SV as well with the other mythical, the pk hex features and other stuff
Or maybe he was right and GameFreak scrapped tons of features and content
@@lilythelegendarysupersaiya6244 Nah he dropped the ball hard
@@lilythelegendarysupersaiya6244 the dude teased gen 5 and gen 2 so hard for a year and had no response when he was wrong
Gotta love when you're community want you to take a break. That's how you know you deserve a break.
Hot Take: We dont need more generations of pokemon, or at the very least not back to back. Give us quality games in older regions/other smaller regions with unique stories. Theres over 900 of these mfs, we have enough 😭
Legends Arceus was in 2022. THE TIME KEEPS ADVANCING, AAAAAAAA
"credible leaker Riddler Khu" hahah c'mon man
He was until Z-A got announced.
@@THGMR-ox7sd no he wasnt, the whole year leading up he was teasing gen 2 and 5 but we all know its one remake per console so he had no idea and was just pulling out his ass
He has been right many times
Still, made too much mistakes to be fully trusted again but he still is a source
@@THGMR-ox7sdI'm pretty sure he only got legends Arceus right and when leaks for scarlet and Violet started he didn't get anything, maybe I'm wrong, as I stopped looking for leaks at that time, but if it wasn't at that time it definitely was with the DLC and before the announcement of legends ZA, he teased and basically said that 100% a gen 5 or 2 remake was going to happen, the "obvious" possibility, and then legends ZA appeared
@@ruby9803his leaks for s/v didn’t make sense and nobody could truly figure them out, then when the game released he made a bunch of bullshit up to make his “leaks” seem legit to the stupid people who will believe anything. He isn’t even a leaker and all the information he got right came from other sources. Don’t get me even started on the dumpster fire before Z-A because he had absolutely no clue what was going on and then after it was announced he tried to “leak” information that was already going around that people digging around had already found out.
i think the fact we're getting another legends game to begin with is proof theyre listening. look at the sales difference between legends arceus and SV. if all they wanted was money, theyd throw legends in the trash and keep at it with mainline entries
the future of pokemon is so bright and i think legends arceus and sv are truly wonderful games, but it only gets brighter from here!
The title is just...
YES, TPC does listen. They almost always do, actually. Their partners like Niantic, though. They don't.
But people seem to always assume listening means instant action. No, that's not possible. Game development takes years or at least months. Even if they listen to criticism, the follow-up for that will happen on the next game to be developed, which releases at least a year later. People need to be realistic about this.
Why do you think SV never has the Shiny sound/sparkle effect like LGPE or PLA? Because people actually complained it made Shiny hunting "too easy". And why PLZA doesn't have a release date yet? Because people complained SV was rushed when it came out. The response to these complains only came at least months later, never right away.
People who complained about the shiny sound should realize not everyone can see well, especially since some of the newer shinies were tiny pokemon with hard to tell differences
Yeahhh.. complaining that made it too easy is fairly ridiculous. It simply alerts the player of success in a positive way. Do you want the player to be sad, disappointed as well as drained of tens or hundreds of hours of their lives just from playing a video game? Seems like a no brainer to not change that feature.
Something to note quickly:
TPC has no hand in the making in the game and are a company made to handle anything that isn't the games like the Advertisement, Anime, Manga, Toys, card games, etc. The games are 100% handle by GameFreak and TPC can't do anything about it as GameFreak are their boss. GF own the majority of TPC next to Niantic.
However, something to note about TPC is that they listen. They tried interviewing people for NFT and Blockchain only to get push back which stop them in their track. They listen to the pokemon disliking of Ai Art and from there recently bad and remove people from their art competitions and ETC.
TPC often listen more so then GF, however GF are now slowly listening to people. It just as the OP commenter said. Game Development normally takes years, you will only see instant change during development not after the game is released.
GF only sometimes listens to criticism. People said SwSh was rushed too, and GF pushed out the last three games even more rushed than that - and it shows. I do think the only reason they listened this time is they're being forced to by Nintendo and TPC. And to be fair, a lot of the rushing has been so TPC can keep pushing out new seasons of the anime rather than just spend more than one per region. Hopefully this and the end of Ash's spotlight means that pressure is gone now.
@@Xanthelei GF owns TPC. TPC.telling GF want to do would be like you telling your boss what to do.
People need to understand business hierarchy's.,
I HATE rumor videos, especially with nintendo game because they are so often wrong. They might be able to predict what games will be shown in a direct but contents of games that havent shown gameplay? Nintendo and gamefreak are very disconnected from its fanbase so these prediction so often fall flat.
also
if Pokemon Z-A really IS all gonna be locked in just 1 city
that does open up main series games to have megalopolis like regions
like a São Paulo Region, or a Hong Kong Region
although what i'm REALLY hoping for
Old Fashioned Pokemon Dungeon, using the Paris Catacombs as inspiration
That would be interesting.
Tpc retiring Ash was the smartest decision ever. Half the reason for the insane release schedule was because the anime, the tcg and the games had an extremely rigid schedule that could not be disrupted in terms of sequence, timing, merchandising and marketing. It’s an astonishing well oiled machine but with scarlet and violet you could really see the cracks showing from the pressure.
Because now that there's a new Pokémon anime things are going to be different?
@@ergastolo4281 do you see them racing to rush the anime to meet the movie schedule? Games getting rushed to make sure it lines up inhumanly perfectly? Even if a new anime exists the rest of the company is operating on its own timeline now. I am just thankful they did this rather than trying to keep an unsustainable model going.
@@LordStrell We'll see 🤷🏻♂️
Only time can tell
6:38 fat chance, "taking advantage of the brand new switch 2 capabilities"
They have had 7 years and they haven't even managed to take advantage of the regular Switch's abilities, what they are pumping out look like unoptimised Wii games. i think the best we can hope for is a badly optimised Wii-U game outta them. I'd love to be proven wrong, but the track record is there plain to see lol
Monolith Soft took better advantage of the Switch with Xenoblade 2, which was a rushed mess and arguably had much harder development than Pokémon. If Pokémon's management isn't fixed, then Pokémon will probably remain subpar, regardless of how long the development is.
idk seems like theyre just waiting for the release of switch 2 rather than taking their time
ofc this does help with the quality of legends ZA but a year apart from gen 10? sounds like it's in the same situation as SV and legends Arceus again where both games were worked on at the same time
This does seem like the best option that the Pokémon company has taken in quite a long time. They need all the time they can get to make sure their upcoming games are perfectly running well with no bugs and their story is worth getting invested in terms of gameplay.
A bug is getting stuck and not be able to proceed. The type of bugs people bitch about are like "boo hoo my hat clips through my hair!" There will never be a bug less game, prove me wrong.
I would love to see a World Championship type thing for Gen 10 where you are the Champion of a chosen region, you get to go to all the previous regions, minus Hisui, collect all the Pokemon, battle all gym leaders and Kahunas, and it ends with a Championship Battle vs all the Champions.
You described Pokémon World, in so many words. I imagine that once Nintendo moves into the VR market, that's when we'll start to see the buds of Pokémon World. Gonna be a while til then so we just gotta accept that the Legends engine is the future of the franchise for the time being.

Honestly, i like to believe that palworld scared them a bit
I think it's fitting for Legends Z-A to take place in Kalos, since X & Y is arguably what started this downwards trend of rushed Pokemon games. It's like their way of atoning for their past mistakes, beginning with the one that started it all.
Thank you for slapping some sanity into gamefreak Palworld
What a truly great Pokemon game needs, IMO, is the following basic stuff:
- Good battles (animations, backgrounds, quick and snappy gameplay, the core of the game is this and it should be the BEST part.)
- Some kind of difficulty setting (Normal should be your typical Pokemon game, but "challenge mode" should be something like no using items mid battle, no swapping after defeating an enemy, AI chooses their moves and swaps efficiently, trainers could have slightly higher level pokemon/evolved forms/one more of them on their team with good items equiped on them)
- If they want to make an open world game, make it make sense. (Story should accomodate for the places you visit, but some areas should just be "too high level" for the player to navigate easily. Good players could still do it, but that should be their reward for being good)
- Interesting Gym challenges and battles (Gyms should be more than just a mediocre puzzle, some battles and a boss at the end. Make gyms teach the player something while being a fun challenge to complete while we traverse the building)
- An honest to God good story (You can make a simple to digest story for the kids while being engaging for adults. Its more difficult than making a lame ass, barely coherent one, but its worth it)
I could add way more stuff, but with what I already have I feel nobody will read it, so I will stop here.
People are being really naive with Pokemon, game freak is a business and the fact that the past games criticized for being incomplete are some of the best selling Pokemon games ever means that Game Freak might not try as hard, this is promising that it’s releasing next year, but I’m just saying keep expectations in check (and no, Nintendo will not stop dlc)
I'll believe it when I see it. Pokémon hasn't been genuinely high quality in 12 years. Scarlet and Violet was one of the most tone deaf games I had ever seen, and it still sold 30 million copies. People still bought it.
Speak for yourself, and don't bring unnecessary negativity. SV we're the best experiences I've had in a pokemon game since gen3. Yes, it wasn't as polished. But my response to that is... Ok? Yes, the environment looked weird sometimes, but like, everyone just has a hate filter on the entire game because JUST that. Just about every single pokemon in the games have brand new models and textures. The last time that technically happens was gen5 to gen6 into 3D. The stories were some of the best, and so many people dismiss it because the main focus isn't a stereotypical villain. Majority of Pokemon fans see pokemon try something new, and immediately hate it because it's not what the pokemon company was starting to overdue. I mean, come on. They did the evil team mix up trope TWICE IN A ROW. One of which failed miserably, and the other... Ok, but could've done better. And considering the fact that the DLCs added more in terms of lore for OTHER regions was also a pretty big plus. The games were phenomenal, and so many people dismiss it because "looks bad, so therefore, it is bad" when they're wrong. It's really only the environment that looks off, especially in my playthroughs of the games. Everything was beyond the original expectations I had for it. And what I'm about to say next might be controversial, considering how many people hate SV just because... But I had more fun with it, than I did with legends Arceus. And I'm hoping that ZA takes the lead ahead of both of them. And even if it did, SV will always still be number 2.
@@piratefox4563 "Unnecessary negativity?" Pokémon has looked worse and worse compared to other Nintendo exclusives since XY. Me wanting Pokémon to actually be good again and being upset that SV looks worse than _Mario 64_ in some places isn't unnecessary negativity. It's called having actual standards.
@@piratefox4563you are completely right. SV was really great. I can understand the feelings to have a buggy game at the start when it should be decent right from the start. But common, they fixed most of the buggy elements. The story is so great. A great drop of oxygen in this franchise.
@@piratefox4563the story isn’t the entire game. Sure, the story is really good but that doesn’t excuse everything else with the game’s performance and it’s okay for people to be frustrated that they paid money for a buggy mess of a video game (by mess I’m talking purely about performance, not story).
Tone deaf ….whut?! 🦻
I don't think it's that Gamefreak didn't listen but fans were just too divided.
For Pokemon, the number one thing most fans wanted was new Pokemon, new good characters, and working game play.
Scarlet and Violet had all fans actually united because the issues weren't just cosmetic (and SwSh wasn't really as bad ad many claimed), but actually game breaking and actually causing problems with the games.
SV are fun great games, and if it wasn't for all the glitches and game breaking bugs, most fans probably wouldn't have cared.....
When it comes to lore, new Pokemon, new characters and fun mysteries to dig into, The games always hit it out of the park.... and they do such a good job that fans would normally be fine if the games just run properly and look okay.
The issue is when it doesn't hit that minimum okay and it actually didn't run properly..... it didn't hit the bare minimum fans wanted for the series....
We won't see Anything about this game until the Next switch is revealed
I hope this rumor is correct. and that we get to see games that feel like passion projects instead of items pumped out to meet a quota. they really dropped the ball in terms of quality with swsh and sv.
I could see generation 10 being at the 30th anniversary of Pokémon in 2026. It would make sense for the 30th anniversary to start with a new generation. As what better way to celebrate the 30th anniversary for Pokémon than with a new generation. Just like the 20th anniversary for Pokemon in 2016 with sun and moon and the start of generation 7. Pokemon horizons I think would be three years old by 2026 since it was delayed to 2023 due to the situation with OLM and their staff for the anime. As for legends z-a when it was announced, I always believed that more information about that game would be either this June or August. Legends z-a would either be out by early or late 2025.
Once generation 10 comes out in 2026, everything for generation 10 will also come out soon after that consists in a Pokémon generation by the time the games that start a generation for Pokemon comes out. As we also need to take in the fact everything surrounding the mainline games and that make up the Pokémon franchise as well. And as for a remake of gen 5, that would probably come out during gen 10 or 11 probably. The remakes are still profitable for the franchise and they usually before bdsp would have new designs for the old characters including the protagonists of those remakes, locations, routes, and music for that remake. When they do finish with remakes, they can use the legends games to revisit old regions like alola, hoenn, Kanto, johto, unova, paldea, and galar and of course the games that start the generation like gen 10, 11, and so on with new regions. They are already doing it with kalos and sinnoh with the legends games. After all the parts of pokemon is to see new regions, new pokemon, new characters, and sometimes visits old regions, places, and characters. Since that is why I still enjoy the franchise and still play the games. And as well as watch the anime as a 27 year old. That would also mean that three generations will be 4 years long now. Gen 3, gen 4, and gen 9 if or when generation 10 comes out in 2026.
2026, umm generation 10 is releasing 2025.
@@Yusei255no it isn’t
@@Yusei255 what better way to celebrate Pokémon’s 30th anniversary with generation 10 for a new console. Just like what happened with Pokémon’s 20th anniversary with sun and moon gen 7 and their 10th anniversary in 2006 with diamond and pearl gen 4. Gen 10 is obviously most likely going to be on the next console. Legends z-a is probably the last pokemon game for the switch since we have had two generations and some spinoff games. Depending on when legends z-a releases in 2025, either early or late 2025. I can’t see legends z-a releasing in mid 2025 since most pokemon aren’t released in the middle of the year, not even mainline pokemon games have released in June or July.
Generation 10 releasing in 2026 is not impossible since the 30th anniversary is only 2 years away. Legends z-a and generation 10 is also being developed almost at the same time just like gen 9 and legends arceus was developed around the same time. Starting the 30th anniversary with a new generation would also make the most sense since they can promote everything in the pokemon franchise including a new generation starting in 2026. At this point, it’s probably likely that the only thing we will get this year is that TCG pocket mobile game. I doubt Pokémon is going to start a new generation with the next console for Nintendo since they never do that with a new generation for Pokemon. But ultimately we wouldn’t technically know until they tell us and this is all speculation.
However I’m betting that the tenth generation is releasing in 2026 with Pokémon’s 30th anniversary. That would be that Pokémon have three generations that were four years long, with gen 3 being four years long, gen 4 being four years long, and gen 10 being four years long if and/or when gen 10 releases in 2026 just two years away. Pokemon horizons would be 3 years old by 2026, given how it was supposed to come out in 2022 but was delayed into 2023. And the mainline anime is always 3 or 4 years long when it airs on tv for every generation that has happened for 9 generations not two years long. And as for a gen 5 remake, it would probably be during gen 10 or gen 11 which would probably be time for a remake. Plus every time a new generation is on a new console/handheld, then a remake would come.
It happened with gen 3 on the gameboy advance with fire red and leaf green, it happen with gen 4 with diamond and pearl on the ds with heartgold and soul silver, it happened with gen 6 with x and y on the 3ds with Oras, and it also happened with bdsp with gen 8 with sword and shield on the switch. Then there’s let’s go which was a remake of yellow for yellow’s 20th anniversary in 2018 in gen 7. Bdsp will be turning 3 years old this year away, so it would somewhat make sense for a gen 5 remake to be somewhere during gen 10 or gen 11. Since a remake of gen 5 and a mainline game is not releasing this year and if it was to release this year then they would have revealed the remake or any mainline game in May last month and/or June this month. The latest a Pokémon game gets revealed after February is June and May with Oras in May, ultra sun and moon in 2017 in June, and let’s go in 2018 in May.
@@richardtaveras3593 lately they have followed a 3 year gap between generations, and it won't be any different with gen 10.
@@Yusei255 How can you know that it won't be any different for sure?
Hear me out, I know this would be out of character for them, but how awesome it would be to gen 10 to launch early 2026 at Pokémon Day, it would tie everything so nicely, 10th gen, releasing at the 30th anniversary of the same day the original ones released, and I know the holiday sales are a big deal for them, but they can launch some spin off or an early DLC for that
I want Game Freak to turn things around like Sonic Team
Sonic Team is still releasing mediocre games 💀
@@KgEclispe252
Beats putting out slop like SV
Besides, Shadow Generations looks great
@@cullbear55 I would rather play Scarlet any day than play Superstars and Frontiers
We all should be thanking PALWORLD seriously
I just want the old games ported to the switch. Not on the subscription app
The diamond pearl remakes weren't made by game freak so there was a break.
Let's hope the leaker was right!
Lower your expectations.. the games will probably just have less gamebreaking bugs.
It's ironic that us Pokemon fans are happy that there are NOT gonna be any games for a while, unlike other fans of other franchises.
Really sells the point that we want quality and not quantity.
Let’s just hope they make the next game have side quests and good end game content to give players a reason to play more after they’ve beat the main story
That one “leaker “ isn’t credible he told the whole community basically it’s certain we are getting gen 5 remakes didn’t happen stop believing random people on the internet and spreading misinformation
I've been saying this, ZA at earliest is coming out summer 25' they are going to use other IP to push out initial hardware sales and use ZA to sell the second wave of hardware
Getting Pokémon ZA before gta 6 is crazy you know it’s finna be some fire zaza 😭
All I'm going to say is I'll believe it when I see it...
Pokémon Legends Z-A will allow for all of the Pokémon to be caught on the switch. Right now X/Y is needed.
Honestly, I want more Unova content. I don't care if it's rushed or amazing, I just want more Gen 5 content. It would suck if my favorite Generation doesn't have any additional content because of their new plans
My guess would be that they’d reveal the name/release date of the Switch successor possibly in July and they aren’t going to show any gameplay of Legends AZ until after that, as it will launch on the Switch successor
It would be interesting if PLZA got released before Christmas (not talking abt this yr) to see if it could do bigger #s than PLA. The art and music of Arceus were done so well but I feel like the random Jan release prevented it from getting the bigger love it could’ve received.
As someone who haven't played Pokemon since i was a kid when gen 3 was new, i really appreciate the news. Bought all the major games except Let's go and there are simply an overwhelming amount of content to go through, this gives me a bit more time to finish both scarlet and swords dlc's
I guess that because the game will be in Lumiouse city 🙂... they might introduce Lumiousian Greninja / Chesnaught / Delphox ... IDK im not sure but just they did the same thing in Legends Arceus 😅😂 (btw i wish they made Delphox with blue flame lol 🫂)
After seeing that latest Direct and knowing my personal backlog they can take their time to ensure quality. That’s all I want, and I can endure a bit of a wait
they can't take their time with the next gen pokemon games, else it'll hurt tcg sales mechandise and everything else.
@@Yusei255 Just to be clear, when I say "take their time" I don't mean delay indefinitely, I just mean take a bit longer than the current cycle they're on. Without seeing the merchandise sales trends I couldn't say for sure.
However, they could probably easily just make up a special pack of limited edition cards or something, make a deal with some toy company and easily extend the life of the current gen of Pokemon for 6-12 months. It's one of the few IP that probably could sustain a small delay, the franchise almost prints money
The new cycle is dictated by the release of the games (although, like you said, the real money is in everything else, but people won't stop buying Pokemon merch because a gen came out a little bit later than usual)
I’ve never heard anyone refer to 10 month as “just a couple months”
I'm just waiting for Gen 2 fully updated versions on the switch. #TEAM JOHTO!
It’s just gonna throw me for a loop because I got used to the TCG release pattern. For example, SwSh was Format D, SwSh DLC was format E, and Spinoffs were Format F. With PLZA coming probably in the fall or winter, what will happen with the releases in the TCG when it comes to the pattern?
I think gintana is coming out in 2025 because that's the 3 year game that everyonetual generation comes out, but at the same time it congratulates 6.I'll be out to wait for it
3 years with projects on the side, leave 1 more year to focus purely on gen 10 and it'll be way better
I want to be so real with myself. As much as I want this game to be miraculously better, if there IS a new console revealed in 2025, they’re just delaying to release it alongside that. They could easily make it cross gen and probably will, but I’m sure they’re saving the hype to release the console and game as a bundle.
…take my money.
Good news, even 1 in every 2 years release schedule would not be bad
I was a PKMN-Trainer from the first day of the Blue Edition-Release. I LOOOVED the gameplay. The great mixing of battling, puzzle an minimalistic roleplay with humor, mystic and suspense. I find, they made great developments between the Generations, trying to optimize the experience, make the handling comfotabler rised the complexity of and rised the graphics but did never lost their minimalistic charme. The peek were definately Gen 4. They get loss of storytelling in following Genrrations but still up to Gen 7, they did most of the things right. But when i played first Sword/Shield i was so fcked up. And after 1h of gameplay, i imediately sold tis peace of shit. I thaugt "oh maybe they overcoached it once" and as the remakes of D/P came out, i was actually hyped to play my fav game in a glow-up-version an it was actually a lot of fun, but i cant ignore, that ILCA also did only the minimum of work and nobody knows why tf they did not remake Platinium.
But then we got scarlet/violet. Dont understand me wrong, but i was one of the players who never ever asked for a 3D interpretation of the Pokemon-Game. But over this it was the biggest blame in gaming history to se how the Franchise with the biggest marketing on this whole planet earth calculated with the dumpness of their fans and did absolutely nothing for 60€/$. This game is so soul-less and lazy designed, that i will never ever play a pokemon game. It is not about the "low-performing console" cause we see, 6 years before, BOTW set new benchmarks with 10% of budget. And Scarlet/Violet are looking worse than any gamecube-jump'n'run.
They just jumped the shark!
Honestly GameFreak taking their time with the mainline games is better than any reveals I’ve ever heard. I’m not expecting them to look like incredibly polished like Mario and Zelda but I want the game to feel smooth and not glitchy like Scarlet and Violet was. Hopefully with the added time we can finally get a battle facility like the Battle Frontier or the Battle Tower cause I missed those additions to the game.
I LOVE how the animation is becoming more and more realistic instead of the regular og Anime style. Who knows? What with technology being as it is and Pokémon utilizing such animation tech, we may just get an irl Pokémon game after all😊
I forgot they announced pokemon TCG pocket and for a moment I had hopes we might get another TCG game like on gameboy color. I adored that game but sadly there will probably never be another like that.
Two points that seem notable:
(1) If they do not bring a new game until end of 2025, the competitive pokemon ruleset (regulation) will be stuck with a double restricted format for a year and that would be strange.
(2) It might be possible that GF only takes some time for the next gen being a system seller for the switch 2 and for no other reason.
I need to get the next generation system because I haven't played a new pokemon game since Ultra Moon.
I hope they are saving it for a launch game for the next Nintendo console and during the direct if they show off the new console that way they could show the complete or close complete game play

If you look at the pattern. They weren’t slowing down, or keeping that “one game a year” pace either. They were ramping the speed up towards the end there. Scarlet and Violet derailed this. Because it had so many glitches and potential game braking issues that they couldn’t ignore it. After they made an announcement stating that they’d slow down and focus on quality. I haven’t heard a peep from them. Even in terms of Legends. Which I’m happy for. They needed to slow tf down.
Looking at what the leaks provided in terms of development timelines, I don't see that as much of an improvement in terms of game development. If it's going to take a year and a half for Pokemon Z A to come out and then shortly after all that Gen 10 in 2026? That's not a long time, I can understand if we're not getting a Gen 10 game until 2027
gen 10 wont be 2027 and it wont be 2026, we will get gen 10 next year, cos if they leave it till 2027, it's going to hurt tcg product and merch sales.
@Yusei255 that's what I'm saying, tho. There really isn't much time development between these games. So, how people can assume that Gamefreak is listening to the fans is beyond my understanding.
If they can keep the trend of giving only one version of the game, that would be awesome
Nintendo has two strategies to shorten game development time and TPC will definetly do the same.
1. Expanding/hiring more people.
2. Making AA games.
1 AA pokemon game per year until next Gen is ready.
nintendo really was like, oh you really fucked up liast time, you better step up your game asap, cause we aint realeasing no bullshit game to our new console in its realease year
I just hope they listen to our criticisms about BDSP and actually give us PROPER Gen 5 remakes!
Also, potentially it will launch with/after Switch 2 gets released. Which will come no later than March '25. Should be interesting for sure. This will either be the best game, or the absolute worst. No in between here.
Don't we have another Pokemon Presents coming this year?
are you sure there not just working on other games that are not pokemon like pandland not sure there putting extra work on pokemon games just because there is a year between games
I just want them to go back to pokemon sword/shield and pokemon let’s go graphics, that was really peak compared to scarlet and violet it felt like an unfinished fan game tbh it was ambitious yet buggy at the same time, the testral gimmick was stupid.
if gen 10 comes out in 2026, that breaks their cycle of of making a new gen every 3 years which they’ve held up for a long while. which is good!!!
They have to make up the way SV was launched. Even though i think there is fun to be had, it is glitchy, had framerate issues, and save data corruption apparently.
Though, it stil made them quite a bit of money so, who knows
If what you say is true then I'm glad the Pokémon company is putting all their effort until one game instead of rushing things.😀
I think the release strategy around Legends Arceus shows that GameFreak or Pokemon CO viewed Legends as a risk so they padded it with BDSP and Gen 9. Now that they know the fan base likes the concept, they feel comfortable using one as their main game for the year
They don't listen. It's just 2026 is 30th anniversary. Gen 11 will release 2029(3 years gap like usual)
Splitting the effort into two games and adding to that a potential (likely) new console. I want to believe, but it all feels like the old Sword and Shield was initially made for the 3DS story all over again.
Pokemon fans asked for everything that’s in the games that’s out now people jus ungrateful
I'm happy that they're taking a break and taking their time with developing games. I'm sick and tired of half-assed pokemon games to the point where I did not purchase scarlet or violet because of the lack of quality in the new games. I hope pokemon legends ZA breaks that cycle and is actually a good game.
Video idea: “should pokemon hard reboot after gen 10”
i wouldn't mind it, they kinda tried it with gen 5
@@ratedr7845 true like maybe we reset the Pokédex just keep the og 2 gens or something I don’t think they’d do something crazy like that though
@@IsaiahFisher19 nah, they should get redesigned, and make nidoran and nidoqueen one pokemon
If they're taking more time to make the games, does anyone think they'll add all the Pokemon?
Well I do worry about the dei job within Pokemon as we seen how much damage dei have done from the trading card game (disqualifying a player for not being dei when the player didn’t know how to answer that question. And destroying their quality of their games from not only the recent entry, but also pokemon go which game freak still haven’t intervened yet which is worrying).
I hope they don’t screw this up. They can take their time, but if they do the wrong direction, it can do more harm than good for them.
I hope and pray, that they don't rush Pokemon Legends: Z-A.
With this break and the one in 2015, I was able to go back and replay some previous Pokemon games. Really made me fall in love with the franchise all over again.
Dlc needs to be as big as the base game.
Guys… I presume they’re taking the year to reserve switch 2 launch titles.
That 5 star Lumiose city is giving me serious DLC vibes
And I don't like that
