Summary
- A new mainline Pokemon game is rumored for the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025, though it is not related to Generation 10.
- Speculations suggest that new Let’s Go games set in Johto or Pokemon Black and White remakes are in the works.
- Recent leaks have teased the potential existence of a multiplayer Pokemon game codenamed “Synapse.”
A well-known leaker has suggested that a new mainline Pokemon game will be released on the Nintendo Switch 2 console in 2025. Quite notably, this main series game was not mentioned in the big “Teraleak” that occurred earlier in 2024. Moreover, it appears this main series Pokemon game will not ring in Generation 10, as some speculated based on unverified details from the aforementioned Teraleak.
Pokemon‘s ninth generation started with 2022’s Pokemon Scarlet and Violet games, and continued with the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC. 2025, in particular, seems like it will be finishing this generation with Pokemon Legends: Z-A, which is slated to release sometime in the year. However, there’s also been tons of rumored information about Pokemon‘s tenth generation thanks to the October Teraleak, which includes supposed details about the next region’s inspiration thanks to leaker Riddler Khu. Khu is a notable person in the Pokemon leaks community for providing information in the form of riddles, which are sometimes accurate or inaccurate. The most recent leak from Khu is not about Generation 10, but supposedly a new title for Generation 9 that will be released in 2025.

Rumor: Pokemon Leak Reveals Mimikyu’s True Form
Another Pokemon fact is popping up online as part of the Game Freak data breach, this time giving a look at what Mimikyu really looks like.
According to CentroLeaks on Twitter, Riddler Khu has suggested that a new main series Pokemon game will be released in 2025 apart from the upcoming Pokemon Legends: Z-A. CentroLeaks notes that the game wasn’t mentioned in the October 2024’s Teraleak and that it will not be a Generation 10 game. The rumored main series game will supposedly be released for the Nintendo Switch successor console, which Nintendo has previously said will be revealed in 2025.
Main Series Pokemon Game 2025 Theories Explained
Taking prior rumors into consideration, fans are theorizing that Khu could be alluding to a potential Let’s Go Johto game duology or remakes of Pokemon Black and White. Both rumors have some merit, as they’ve been swirling around the Internet for a while, especially when new trademarks have come up. Fans note that if Game Freak is potentially working on both a new main series and Legends game at the same time, it is a similar pattern to 2022, where Scarlet and Violet and Legends: Arceus were released in the same year. No further details were provided by CentroLeaks or Khu at this time.
The Pokemon Let’s Go Johto duology supposedly will feature Togepi and Wooper as the headliners, and they will be the final Pokemon games for the Nintendo Switch. Other potential projects in the pipeline include a multiplayer Pokemon game similar to Splatoon under the codename of “Synapse.” Much like with other rumors around the Pokemon franchise, it’s hard to tell what is accurate or fabricated, so fans will need to wait until more official information from Game Freak or The Pokemon Company is provided.
