It is rumored that the title and background location of Nintendo and the Pokémon Company's tenth generation Pokémon game (development codename "Gaia") have been leaked.

CentroLeaks, a well-known Pokémon information breaking account, shared this rumor on social platforms.It is said that the game is officially named "Pokémon Wind and Waves" (tentative translation, "Pokémon Wind and Waves"), and the theme is "Infinity".The tipster also said that the background of this game will be set in Indonesia and Southeast Asia.The relevant information is said to come from an internal document of game director Shigeru Omori in 2021. This statement is contrary to previous rumors that the game will be set in Greece. It is currently unclear whether the location selection was changed during the development process.


If the new game is indeed set in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, the game will likely contain a large number of water navigation elements.To this end, the development team may design multiple form variants for Pokémon appearing in the Hoenn region, and conduct innovative designs for third legendary Pokémon—for example, adding Titan-level Pokémon such as Cronus and Typhon.The document also revealed that the tenth generation Pokémon game will become an exclusive work on the Switch2 platform. This will be the first time that the mainline series will no longer support the original Switch console.

It is not yet known whether Nintendo and Game Freak will respond to the leaked content.At least for now, Pokémon fans still have a lot to look forward to - the new game in the series "Pokémon Legends: Z-A" will be officially released this Thursday.
