A popular theory suggests the upcoming Pokémon game, Pokémon Winds and Waves, might introduce a new Pokémon form inspired by former U.S. President Barack Obama. This idea comes from clues found within Pokémon Pokopia, a game that fans believe contains hints about future Pokémon releases.
As a big Pokémon fan, I’ve been following the chatter online, and it’s not the first time people have spotted potential links between Pokémon Pokopia and the upcoming Pokémon Winds and Waves. Apparently, someone noticed a poster in Pokopia looks a lot like a scene from the Winds and Waves trailer – specifically, a group of Lumineon swimming. It’s all speculation right now, but everyone’s been digging through Pokopia hoping to find hints about what’s coming next in the series, and it’s super exciting!
Pokemon Pokopia Fans Think a New Pokemon Form is Connected to Obama
When Pokemon Pokopia came out, players quickly found a hidden reference to a yellow Shellos, a form not available in the regular Pokemon games. Shellos usually appears in pink or blue, depending on where you find it in the game – pink in the West Sea and blue in the East Sea. The Pokemon is based on real sea slugs, and in 2017, scientists discovered a new yellow sea slug. They named it Placida barackobamai, inspired by Barack Obama to recognize his work protecting the environment. This real-life yellow sea slug could be the inspiration for a future yellow Shellos in the Pokemon games.

Considering the focus on islands and the ocean in Pokemon Winds and Waves, it’s probable that we’ll see regional variations of existing Pokemon, adapting them to the game’s setting. Many fans speculate the game’s region is inspired by Indonesia, where Barack Obama spent part of his childhood. However, it’s important to remember that none of this is confirmed – we haven’t even seen a yellow Shellos in the game, and even if we do, it might not be based on the Placida barackobamai sea slug.
Pokemon fans are really excited about the next games, even though they aren’t expected to come out until 2027. A recent leak suggests a possible release towards the end of 2027, meaning we might not hear much more about Pokemon Winds and Waves in 2026. It’s even possible we won’t know if a yellow Shellos will be included until the games are actually released. In the meantime, fans are likely to continue looking for hints in Pokemon Pokopia.

It’s surprisingly happened before: gamers have become fascinated with Barack Obama even when there’s no actual connection to the game. Late in 2025, the game Phasmophobia added a ghost type called “Obambo,” and players quickly started calling it after President Obama. While there’s no link between the ghost and the former president, it’s interesting to see if Pokemon Pokopia players have discovered something meaningful, or if the mention of a yellow Shellos is just a coincidence.
