Everything in the Pokemon Gen 10 Teraleak Explained

by

A massive leak of information about the next generation of Pokémon games (Generation 10) has surfaced online, including images, screenshots, and documents. This leak, dubbed “Teraleak 2.0,” builds on a previous leak months ago that revealed details about *Pokémon Legends: Z-A* and other future projects. The new leak is substantial, covering everything from confirmed details to possible plans up to Generation 11, and has been confirmed as accurate by a reliable source within the industry. This means all the details from the Pokémon Gen 10 leaks so far appear to be legitimate.

Every Pokemon Gen 10 Leak and Confirmed Feature

As a long-time Pokémon fan, I’m used to hearing about leaks – it feels like there’s always something popping up, whether it’s from old magazines like CoroCoro or clues hidden online. But lately, we’ve gotten a *lot* of information about the next generation, Generation 10, including what the games might be called. Here’s what’s been leaked so far:

  • Pokemon Wind and Wave are the official names of Gen 10 games.
    • The box Legendary Pokemon in Gen 10 will have designs tied to themes like “wind grandpa and wave grandma,” hence the name Pokemon Wind and Wave. This is directly from Riddler Khu, but the leaks reported by Centro Leaks on Twitter match the wind grandpa and wave grandma bit.
    • Allegedly, the logos for Pokemon Wind and Wave appeared on 4chan weeks prior to the new leaks.
  • Pokemon Gen 10 starters will be found within a big city.
    • The starting location in Gen 10 is a big tourist city.
    • Players will start in a Pokemon resort hotel and meet NPCs there, as well as other players.

    • The setting for Pokemon Wind and Wave is Southeast Asia, according to the leaks.
    • There will be procedurally generated islands in Gen 10.
    • There will be a special critter called Seed Pokemon, which will have a base form with procedurally generated details once it evolves. According to leaks, the Seed Pokemon in Gen 10 is needed to face the box Legendaries.
    • Pokemon Wind and Wave will have MMO-style content, like Raid Battles, social hubs, and shareable maps.
  • Pokemon Wind and Wave will include underwater exploration and jungle biomes, with the latter having a theme of “survival.”
  • The battle gimmick for Pokemon Gen 10 is “weather moves.”
  • All Pokemon in Gen 10 will be interactable with.
    • Big Pokemon will be rideable, whereas one will be able to pet all Pokemon.
  • Pokemon Wind and Wave will redesign a lot of Pokemon models.
    • Charizard, Pikachu, Machamp, and Lumineon are confirmed to have new models.

    • A video of wind simulation and wave simulation in Pokemon Wind and Wave is included in the leaks.
  • Pokemon Gen 10 Gyms and Titan Pokemon are mixed, with a total of 18 challenges for players to complete.
    • Players can allegedly beat Gen 10’s final boss immediately and roll credits, but all 18 challenges are required for the true ending. Box Legendary Pokemon will be optional.
  • Several screenshots of Pokemon Gen 10 leaked.
  • Pokemon Gen 10 is exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2.

Pokemon Gen 10 Name and Setting Leaks Explained

When early leaks about *Pokemon* Generation 10, known as the Teraleak, appeared, it became obvious the games would be set on islands. While many fans initially thought the setting would be Greece, recent information shows that the developers also considered Canada, Scandinavia, and the West Coast of the United States. Ultimately, they decided to base the region on Southeast Asia.

As a huge Pokémon fan, I’ve always noticed something a little strange: none of the games have *actually* been set in a real Asian location, only places inspired by Japan! Here’s where the adventures have taken place so far:

  • Gen 1-4: Japan (Kanto, Kansai, Kyushu, and Hokkaido)
  • Gen 5: The United States (New York)
  • Gen 6: Europe (France)
  • Gen 7: The United States (Hawaii)
  • Gen 8: Europe (United Kingdom)
  • Gen 9: Europe (Spain and Portugal)

Honestly, even way back when the first rumors about the new generation started popping up, people were saying the games might be called something like ‘Pokemon Wind’ and ‘Pokemon Wave’. So I’m pretty confident that part of the leak is legit.

What to Expect From Pokemon Gen 10 Legendaries

It seems very likely that the Legendary Pokémon coming in Generation 10 will be linked to wind and water, and nicknamed “wind grandpa” and “wave grandma,” as this detail appears in multiple sources and has been confirmed by Riddler Khu. These Pokémon will probably look wise, and may also embody strength (for the wind Pokémon) and calmness (for the water Pokémon), reflecting their natural inspirations.

Pokemon Gen 10’s Procedurally Generated Pokemon is Already Clear

After players criticized the open world of *Pokémon Scarlet and Violet* for feeling empty, using procedural generation in future *Pokémon* games makes a lot of sense. Creating islands automatically would be especially useful given the focus on jungle and underwater exploration, ensuring the game always has new content and stays exciting.

Interestingly, the starting “Seed Pokemon” will likely have a base form that everyone shares, but how it evolves could be unique to each player, depending on many different factors. Given the name, it’s expected that wind and water will be key to its evolution, fitting with the plant-based theme. Leaks describe it as a flower-like Pokemon, and its design seems to involve changing flower patterns and geometric shapes, possibly inspired by mandalas.

The idea of Pokemon with many different appearances isn’t brand new. Pokemon like Spinda and Vivillon have used similar systems in the past. They don’t have endless variations, but they could be early examples of what inspired the unique design of some Pokemon planned for future generations, like the ‘Seed Pokemon’.

Pokemon Gen 10’s Starters Are Officially One of a Kind

Recent leaks suggest that the starter Pokémon in the next generation (Gen 10) will be caught by players early in the game, rather than received as gifts from a Pokémon Professor. The leaks indicate the starters will be causing a traffic jam, and the player will be asked to catch them to resolve the situation.

This game handles starter Pokémon in a new way. It’s similar to Pokémon Legends: Arceus, where the starters run off and you have to catch them, but unlike that game, you don’t actually *receive* them from a professor – you find and catch them yourself.

Pokemon Wind and Wave May Be Checking a Big Item Off Players’ Wish Lists

For years, Pokémon fans have wished they could pet their Pokémon and pick any one to ride around the game world. It looks like those wishes are coming true! Leaked images and videos from the upcoming generation 10 Pokémon games show characters petting Pokémon in different ways, depending on how big they are, and adjusting how they sit to ride them comfortably.

The ability to ride Pokemon was introduced in Generation 5 and has evolved over time. In Generation 9, players used either Koraidon or Miraidon to travel around the Paldea region, gaining new movement options as they played. However, recent leaks suggest that Generation 10 will be different. Instead of a single rideable Pokemon, players will likely be able to ride any large Pokemon they find, and the Pokemon they choose could even affect how they explore the world.

Why You Shouldn’t Jump to Conclusions About Pokemon Gen 10’s Battle Gimmick

A key feature of the upcoming Pokemon generation will be how battles work. Pokemon Legends: Z-A is trying out battles that happen in real-time, but it’s currently unknown if future games will go back to the traditional turn-based style, or continue to develop this new battle system.

Weather effects are already part of the *Pokémon* series – Weather Ball, a move whose power changes with the weather, is a prime example. Introducing weather as the central battle mechanic in the next generation (Gen 10) could be risky unless it’s handled with a lot of creativity and new ideas. However, with the potential for dynamic, procedurally generated environments focusing on wind and water, the next *Pokémon* games could offer a fresh take on weather and related moves. For instance, the weather could change unpredictably during battles, encouraging players to try out different strategies and moves.

Considering how battles have worked in previous *Pokémon* games, this idea doesn’t seem that unusual. Here are some examples:

  • Mega Evolutions in Gen 6
  • Z-Moves in Gen 7
  • Dynamax and Gigantamax in Gen 8
  • Terastallization in Gen 9
  • Weather moves in Gen 10 (to be confirmed)

While features like Double Battles in Generation 3 and Triple Battles in Generation 5 added unique elements to gameplay, Mega Evolutions were the first truly new battle mechanic introduced to the core Pokémon battling system.
