It’s set to be an exciting few years to be a Pokemon fan. This year, Pokemon Legends: Z-A is set to be one of the biggest releases in the 2025 video game calendar, while 2026 will mark the series’ 30th anniversary. While The Pokemon Company has yet to confirm plans for a big anniversary celebration, it’s unlikely it will let the moment pass without something big. There were rumors a while back about the possibility of a Generation 10 release in 2026, but this should be taken with a pinch of salt. Still, it would certainly be a fitting way to mark the occasion.
