The Pokémon series has not yet officially released the next wave of blockbuster information, but the online news circle has already begun to warm up. The latest rumors point out that “Pokemon Winds and Waves” is suspected of having a new Pokémon design leaked, and even the attributes and appearance concepts have been talked about in advance.
If true, this will be one of the first new Pokémon to be revealed in Generation 10. However, players who are familiar with this series know that the amount of news about Pokémon before its release is usually more than that of wild Rattata, and it is not that simple to distinguish the true from the false.
Is the source of the news credible? This old man has been accurate, and he has also overturned.
This time the news comes from X user BallGuy. Let’s talk about the conclusion first. He did repost a piece of news that accurately described the Pokémon Winds and Waves family in the past, so it’s not entirely credible.
According to previously announced official information, the initial Pokémon for this game include:
- 《Pokemon Winds and Waves》 Browt
- 《Pokemon Winds and Waves》 Gecqua
- 《Pokemon Winds and Waves》 Pombon
The new Pokémon is a fish-bird hybrid, with water + flying attributes reappearing
The one that attracted the most attention this time is one of the common ecological Pokémon that is said to come from the 10th generation area. It is a Pokémon with a fish body and wings, and its attributes are water + flying.
Yes, you read that right.
Fish can fly and birds can swim. In recent years, Game Freak’s design thinking has entered the stage of “thinking about ideas first, then adding ecology”.
The player community has even nicknamed it “Both”, which means that it represents both the wind of “Winds” and the waves of “Waves”. This kind of treatment of being named by netizens before they were born is also considered a popular reservation seat.
Recycling and reusing old waste cases? This is actually a Pokémon
The news pointed out that the concept of this fish-bird Pokémon actually originated from an old design draft that was not used during the “Pokémon Gold and Silver” (Pokémon Gold/Silver) period. A similar concept appeared even earlier in the development stage of the Kanto region.
It wouldn’t be surprising if this were true.
Many abandoned designs in the past were later reworked and returned, such as:
- 《Pokémon Sun and Moon》（ ／）
- Shellos（） Gastrodon（）
- Tirtouga（）
Game Freak’s love for the old database is sometimes more nostalgic than the players.
The rumors of mythical beasts are even more crazy: Grandpa Feng and Grandma Lang?
Riddler Khu, another relatively more famous whistleblower, said that the concept of the cover beasts of “Pokemon Winds and Waves” is probably the grandfather who controls the wind and the grandmother who controls the waves.
As soon as this description came out, the players were instantly divided into two groups. One group said that it was finally not the Mechanical Dragon and the Space Beast, while the other group asked: So this generation of mythical beasts will fight with a cane?
In any case, if it finally comes true, this will be the most bizarre mythical beast theme in the series in recent years.
The release date is rumored to be in 2027, but the news may still have to wait for a long time.
According to current reports, “Pokemon Winds and Waves” is expected to launch in 2027, and the platform may be Switch 2.
If BallGuy’s revelations are accurate, there may not be any new information for the rest of the year. That said, players may have to wait until Pokémon Day 2027 to see an official trailer.
