Pokemon Gen 10 may be tempted to jump the gun with its release date, but it could shoot itself in the foot instead
While Pokemon Legends: Z-A is stepping up to fill the void during the typical three-year cycle for mainline Pokemon games by introducing fresh regions and creatures, it’s anticipated that Gen 10 of Pokemon will create a huge sensation upon its release. Given the anticipation among fans who believed it would debut this year, it’s possible that The Pokemon Company could bring us the Gen 10 games slightly ahead of schedule in 2026, but doing so might not be advisable for several important reasons, starting with the availability of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
