Summary
A well-known leaker has suggested that a new mainlinePokemongame will be released on the Nintendo Switch 2 console in 2025. Quite notably, this main series game was not mentioned in the big “Teraleak” that occurred earlier in 2024. Moreover, it appears this main seriesPokemongame will not ring in Generation 10, as some speculated based on unverified details from the aforementioned Teraleak.
Pokemon’s ninth generation started with 2022’sPokemon Scarlet and Violetgames, and continued with theHidden Treasure of Area ZeroDLC. 2025, in particular, seems like it will be finishing this generation withPokemon Legends: Z-A, which is slated to release sometime in the year. However, there’s also been tons ofrumored information aboutPokemon’s tenth generationthanks to the October Teraleak, which includes supposed details about the next region’s inspiration thanks to leaker Riddler Khu. Khu is a notable person in thePokemonleaks community for providing information in the form of riddles, which are sometimes accurate or inaccurate. The most recent leak from Khu is not about Generation 10, but supposedly a new title for Generation 9 that will be released in 2025.
According to CentroLeaks on Twitter, Riddler Khu has suggested that a new main seriesPokemongame will be released in 2025 apart fromthe upcomingPokemon Legends: Z-A. CentroLeaks notes that the game wasn’t mentioned in the October 2024’s Teraleak and that it will not be a Generation 10 game. The rumored main series game will supposedly be released for the Nintendo Switch successor console, which Nintendo has previously said will be revealed in 2025.
Main Series Pokemon Game 2025 Theories Explained
Taking prior rumors into consideration, fans are theorizing that Khu could be alluding to a potentialLet’s GoJohto game duology orremakes ofPokemon Black and White. Both rumors have some merit, as they’ve been swirling around the Internet for a while, especially when new trademarks have come up. Fans note that if Game Freak is potentially working on both a new main series andLegendsgame at the same time, it is a similar pattern to 2022, whereScarlet and VioletandLegends: Arceuswere released in the same year. No further details were provided by CentroLeaks or Khu at this time.
ThePokemon Let’s GoJohto duology supposedly will feature Togepi and Wooperas the headliners, and they will be the finalPokemongames for the Nintendo Switch. Other potential projects in the pipeline include a multiplayerPokemongame similar toSplatoonunder the codename of “Synapse.” Much like with other rumors around thePokemonfranchise, it’s hard to tell what is accurate or fabricated, so fans will need to wait until more official information from Game Freak or The Pokemon Company is provided.
