Pokémon Winds and Waves
As the highlight of today’s Presents, we got a first look at the 10th generation of Pokémon: Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves, releasing exclusively for the Switch 2 in 2027. Not much has been revealed, but these titles seem to feature a stunning-looking open-world where you can explore both on land and underwater!
We also got a nice look at the new starters:
- Browt, the Grass type “Bean Chick” Pokémon
- Pombon, the Fire type “Puppy” Pokémon
- Gecqua, the Water type “Water Gecko” Pokémon
Which one will you choose as your partner for this brand-new adventure?
And That Is All!
While there weren’t many announcements for new games or spin-offs, it was still nice to see the Generation 10 reveal, especially with its step up in graphics.
