Whoa, gamers! We have some super exciting rumors that just dropped! A well-known leaker has hinted that we might be seeing a brand new mainline Pokémon game launching on the brand-new Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025! And get this—this game wasn’t even mentioned in the massive “Teraleak” from earlier this year, which makes it even juicier!
Now, I know some people were speculating that this might kick off Generation 10, but hold your horses! It looks like that’s not the case this time around. Pokémon’s ninth generation started with the phenomenal Scarlet and Violet in 2022, and we’ve seen more adventures with the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC. It seems like 2025 will wrap up this generation with the highly-anticipated Pokémon Legends: Z-A, but that’s not all!
There’s been a whirlwind of rumors swirling around Generation 10 thanks to the October Teraleak, and you know who’s at the center of it? The incredible Riddler Khu! This leaker is famous for dropping hints in riddle form, and while they’re sometimes hit or miss, they’re always interesting! Khu’s latest scoop isn’t about Gen 10, but rather a new title in Generation 9 set to release in 2025!

According to the buzz from CentroLeaks on Twitter, Khu believes we’re getting another main series Pokemon game that won’t be included in the upcoming Legends: Z-A. How cool is that? They pointed out that this new title wasn’t on the radar during the October 2024 Teraleak, and guess what? It’s not even connected to Generation 10! This mystery game is pegged to release on the new Nintendo Switch that Nintendo has promised to unveil in 2025!
Fans are buzzing with theories about what this could be! Some think it could be a Let’s Go Johto game duology or maybe even remakes of the beloved Pokemon Black and White. Both options have been rumored for ages, especially with new trademarks popping up. With Game Freak potentially working on both a new main series and Legends title simultaneously, it mirrors what we saw back in 2022 when Scarlet and Violet and Legends: Arceus both dropped in the same year. However, more details from CentroLeaks or Khu remain under wraps for now!
Imagine if the Let’s Go Johto games feature Togepi and Wooper as the main stars! They might even be the last Pokemon titles available for the Nintendo Switch. And there’s more! Rumblings suggest a multiplayer Pokemon game under the codename “Synapse,” which could be reminiscent of Splatoon! With so much going on, it’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s just fan speculation, so we’ll need to stay tuned for official reveals from Game Freak or The Pokemon Company. I don’t know about you, but I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for more info!
