With Pokémon’s 30th birthday approaching, attention is increasingly shifting toward the rumored Generation 10 titles. Although nothing has been officially announced, leaks and speculation suggest a more ambitious setting, potentially centered around a large modern city and new traversal mechanics — a possible evolution of ideas explored in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

Many fans expect a major reveal during a Pokémon Presents event in early 2026, aligning with the franchise’s original February launch window. Whether Gen 10 arrives that year or later, the anniversary has set expectations sky-high, with players anticipating a defining moment similar to what past generations delivered during Pokémon’s biggest milestones.
