Pokémon Generation 10: Dual Switch Release Possible?
Recent leaks suggest a surprising development for the upcoming Pokémon Generation 10 games: potential releases on both the original Nintendo Switch and the forthcoming Switch 2. While it was widely anticipated that Generation 10 would bypass the original Switch due to performance issues experienced with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, new information paints a different picture.
According to leaks shared by Centro Leaks, citing a Game Freak insider, Generation 10, codenamed "Gaia," is primarily being developed for the original Switch. However, a separate project, "Super Gaia," appears to be a Switch 2 version. Furthermore, there's speculation that Pokémon Legends: Z-A might also receive a native Switch 2 release.
The Switch 2's backward compatibility ensures that regardless of native releases, Switch 2 owners will be able to play both Generation 10 and Legends: Z-A. While improved performance on the Switch 2 is anticipated, the specifics of any enhancements for these potential ports remain unclear.
Uncertainty Remains:
It's crucial to remember that all this information is currently unconfirmed. No official announcements have been made regarding Generation 10. While a Pokémon Presents event is scheduled for February 27th, reports suggest a focus on original Switch titles, potentially delaying a dedicated Switch 2 Pokémon game for several years. Therefore, fans should approach these leaks with caution and await official confirmation.
