Fresh details have emerged regarding the highly anticipated next generation of Pokémon games, offering fans an early glimpse into the potential world they might soon explore. Newly surfaced images showcase various environments from a development build, reportedly codenamed Pokemon Wind and Waves. It’s crucial to understand these are not final screenshots but come from a version compiled in July 2024, meaning the finished product will likely look different. Nevertheless, they provide a fascinating preview, especially since an official announcement for the titles is widely expected later this month.
The leak includes a comprehensive list of locations that appear across the game’s archipelago setting. The world seems to be composed of numerous islands, each with distinct biomes and landmarks.
One area is labeled as an Uninhabited Island, featuring a field and a volcanic cavern. The first island appears densely packed with points of interest, including a hotel with its surrounding area, entrance, and a player’s room. Other notable spots are an observation deck, a northern wasteland with magma, a Woobat Tunnel, terraced rice fields, and a Grass-type Gym. The geography continues with a southeastern swamp, a mangrove forest, a location called Mt. Symbol with a summit area, buried ruins, and a spiky rocks zone.
A second island hosts a Poison Swamp area and a Poison Gym, while a third is simply noted as Anthill Fieldlands. The fourth and tenth islands are listed with no landmarks. Island five features a diverse range of environments including a marsh, a dam powerplant, a snowy mountain area, a research lab focused on Ice-types, an icicle snowfield, a summit, a wasteland, and a flowing water area.
The sixth island contains sandy and rocky areas alongside a Flying Gym. Island seven lists a Fighting Gym and Goro Rock Island. A major Capital City appears on the eighth island, which also includes a Dark Gym and headquarters for a group, the Pokémon Center, a tour company, and a boutique. Other facilities are a TM shop, hair salon, and pharmacy. The natural areas here are an Ivy Jungle, a Ground-type research lab, and a Will-o-wisp Caldera.
Island nine is home to a Normal Gym. The eleventh island features a middle-sized town, another rocky area, a Steel Gym, a Champion Trial, the Pokémon League, a blizzard area, a glacial lake, and a forest. A twelfth island presents a desert area with a Rock-type research lab, a desert stadium, an abandoned mine cave, a fieldland, Ghost Island, and a ghost mineral spring.
The thirteenth and fourteenth islands include the Islands of Thrones with a throne path, and Fairy Island with a cave and a Fairy Gym. Islands fifteen and sixteen are noted as a southwestern island and a desert cauldron, respectively. The seventeenth island holds ruins, islands of ruins within a forest, and a platform island.
The setting also extends into oceanic and deep-sea zones, with Ocean 1 containing a Psychic-type research lab and a Neon Abyss, followed by several other numbered ocean and deep-sea areas. Two legendary temples are listed, one for Wind and one for Wave. Additional points of interest include a Fire-type research lab on the first island and a Ghost-type research lab.
The gaming community is eagerly awaiting official news, with Pokemon Day on February 27 being the anticipated date for a reveal. These leaks follow a previous wave of rumored details that have circulated online, building significant hype for the next chapter in the Pokémon franchise.
