A new leak may hint at a few of the creatures returning in the Generation 10Pokemongame for the Nintendo Switch 2.Pokemon Scarlet and Violetlaunched on the original Switch in 2022, but there are already plenty of rumors and leaks about the seemingly inevitable nextPokemongeneration in light of the Switch 2’s release earlier this month.
A few of these leaks have indicated that Game Freak will indeed shift its focus toward the Nintendo Switch 2 afterPokemon Legends: Z-Alaunches later this year, and thatthe next mainlinePokemongamemight already be in development under the codename “Gaia.” Other leaks have suggested that the nextPokemongeneration could take place in a new region inspired by Greece’s Cyclades islands, which could lead to a plethora of new Pokemon themed after ancient Greek mythology.
Yet another leak could provide a look at some of the older Pokemon returning inPokemonGen 10, as reported byComicbook. The source of this leak is unknown, but it is being shared byPokemon-centricsocial media users like Hidden Power Podcast and consists of a blurry screenshot showing what appears to be a battle environment. The dualRock/Steel type Pokemon Aron and Lairon, both of which were introduced inPokemon Ruby and Sapphire, can be seen facing off against an unidentified opponent.
Possible Leaked Gen 10 Pokemon (So Far)
Aggron, the third and final stage of Aron and Lairon’s evolutionary line, isn’t shown in the leakedPokemonGen 10 screenshot, but its presence in the game is very likely if its two younger forms are in it. The unnamed source of the leak claims to have two additional screenshots featuring Charjabug and Butterfree - both of which are also part of an evolutionary chain. Charjabug evolves from Grubbin and eventually becomes Vikavolt, while theclassic Gen 1 Pokemon Butterfreesprings from Caterpie and Metapod.
It should be noted that none of this has been officially verified, just like any of the previous rumors and leaks aboutPokemon’s next generation. As such, fans should remain skeptical about any of these Pokemon being in the new game for the time being. The image in question could be fake, or perhaps a sort of test featuring Pokemon that might be swapped out later. As gamers wait for more officialnews aboutPokemonGeneration 10, they can look forward toPokemon Legends: Z-Awhen it launches on the original Switch and Switch 2 on October 16.
