Generation 10 Pokémon Leak Winds and Waves

The first info about Generation 10 Pokémon has reportedly leaked: from the game title to some mechanics and legendary Pokémon. If true, the next entry will be called Pokémon Winds and Waves and feature a world that can be explored both on land and underwater.

Leak source and context

This leak comes from a group calling themselves Centro Leaks, who claim to have internal development documents. According to these documents, the next generation game features a hub area with a stronger online feel—even described as similar to MMO elements—and broader exploration support than the current main series. It should be noted that these claims have not been confirmed by Nintendo or Game Freak.

Title, setting, and atmosphere

The circulating name: Winds and Waves. The major theme mentioned in the document translation is the concept of eternity or infinity, associated with how humanity continues through children and the legacy left for future generations. The revealed narrative depicts conflicts and responsibilities between generations—about the role of parents, children’s rights, and the continuity of eras.

The game region is said to be strongly inspired by Indonesia and Southeast Asia, with a map composed of islands. One standout feature: some areas are reportedly procedurally generated so there are always new areas to explore—matching the “eternity” theme emphasizing endless exploration.

Legendary Pokémon: Winds and Waves

The leaked document contains descriptions for two main legendary Pokémon (official names not yet confirmed). Here is a summary of the circulated description translation:

• Winds — Described as a “storm package,” acting like an old male figure living on an island that makes him isolated. He controls wind powers and functions to guide humans and Pokémon, but only accepts those who have properly raised the Seed Pokémon.
• Waves — Described as a “wave package,” acting like an old female figure also living on an isolated island. She controls wave powers and has a similar function: accepting those who meet the Seed Pokémon raising criteria.

The term Seed Pokémon likely refers to basic form Pokémon (similar to the term “Basic” in the Japanese TCG). Early fan interpretation: these legendaries might only appear or react if the player raises certain starters/seeds correctly—although the document also mentions “unlimited variations” of Seed Pokémon, so the exact meaning remains unclear.

Other mentioned gameplay features

• More free exploration on land and underwater.
• Hub area with bigger online elements, enabling interactions and MMO-like experiences.
• Island maps partially procedurally generated, adding surprise elements and replayability.
• The leaked document is claimed to be from 2020, so some details may have changed during development—including a release date that was once mentioned for the current year.

Platform and availability

According to the leak, Generation 10 is said to be exclusive to Switch 2, marking the main series generation shift away from the original Nintendo Switch. Again, this is an unconfirmed claim.

This leak provides a lot of interesting speculation material for fans: the name Winds and Waves, Southeast Asian setting, legendaries related to starters, and a focus on land-underwater exploration. However, since the source is an unverified leak (and the document is claimed to be from 2020), there is a high chance details may change or be inaccurate.
