What's Next for Pokémon in 2025?

[@StickMaster500]

I can easily see the next few years of games consisting of; Legends: ZA, Gen 10, Gen 10 DLC and Black & White Remakes. Also, it's still weird to see the Black 3 and White 3 logo that I put together a few years ago still being used in these videos and thumbnails. I appreciate it!

[@IcarusFallz]

Im losing faith in BW remakes. Gamefreak would most likely give us a Jhoto revisit first imo

[@MunchingOrange]

lol it's a well-made logo nice job

[@5095smf]

You made that logo? I love it! I think with Legends, Game Freak isn't interested in making remakes anymore. Meaning we probably won't get a BW remake. At least not made by Game Freak.

[@alexamenta6064]

idk we need a gen 2 remake its not fair to consider gen 2 remake as HG SS they are older than gen 5 they were released way back in 2010 i just want gen 2 remake with mega evolutions i need a mega feraligatr 😭

Switch 2 can be from a range of January 8th - February 4th, Z-A is locked for Pokémon day along with all the other smaller stuff, and who knows, maybe even another reveal.

[@nickdentoom1173]

Why are people still looking at Khu for hints. Isn't it obvious they lost their source (Got to much stuff wrong the last couple of months) and are now just grasping at straws in order to stay relevant. The problem is that we aren't getting anything other Pokemon mainline than Legends ZA for Switch 2, because we don't know when the Switch 2 releases. When we get the reveal, it usually still takes a month of 3 to actually release the console, because they need to market it (Which means if we get the reveal in January, releasedate will be April, but it will be May if they reveal it in February. Thats literally the problematic thing for Legends ZA as well, since obviously, as far as release titles go for the Swiitch 2, Nintendo is going to give Mario and Zelda preference over Pokemon as release titles, since Mario and Zelda are their own IPs. They aren't gonna release all three at the same time, because the franchises are way to popular for that and will eat eachothers sales, especially Mario and Zelda have similair fanbases. So Legends ZA probably won't release before July/August on its earliest, which is problematic for a remake release in 2025, because gen 10 will be announced Pokemon Day 2026 (Because of the anniversary year, they aren't gonna reveal it beforehand, because then they don't have anything big to reveal for the anniversary and a remake won't pack the same punch as a new generation).

[@boyofkanto_region]

I believe Pokémon Legends Z-A will be released for the Nintendo Switch 2 because the Switch 2 might be released within this year to boost sales, a Pokémon game would play a key role in that. Additionally, top-tier games like Mario and Zelda are likely to launch alongside it in the upcoming years to create a library for the Switch 2 within a year. The visuals for the Pokémon game haven't been revealed yet, unlike in previous trailers. If the Switch 2 is revealed before the Pokémon game, it could suggest that the game was developed for the Switch 2.

[@nickdentoom1173]

@@boyofkanto_region Off course Legends ZA comes for the Switch 2... but if the rumors are true and Switch 2 is backwards compatible with Switch, it means Legends ZA will be able to run on both consoles.

sorry to burst your bubble but we got confirmation that Legends: Z-A is a switch.1/original switch exclusive game. thanks to the pokemon terra leak which showed there's only one SKU & version of the game. but gen.10 code named project Gaia is a switch.2 exclusive game again thanks to the terra leak info.

[@theamazingspooderman2697]

we don't have a footage yet because GF rushed it again

[@DuskbeakMUSIC]

I wonder if the possible Black & White remakes would somehow include their already made sequels Black 2 & White 2? Or if they would make them loosely based off of both as sorta its own approach to that region and its story like with how Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire included Mega Evolution that their originals didn't.

i feel like i should point out that the same list there which listed the codenames said that the BDSP codename was Delphis which is the taxonomic name of dolphins, so if anything it would probably be a black and white game similar to BDSP

If we Are getting gen 10 this year it will be too close to legends za if it doesn’t release in a few months which it most definetly won’t since we haven’t gotten a trailer. Gen 10 might come next year which really makes me excited. This way Both za and gen 10 can be really good games😊 za trailer will definetly be in february if not this month.

[@MunchingOrange]

Gen 10 most likely next year to coincide with the 30th Anniversary of Pokémon

[@thebananaspeedruns9275]

Excluding the Gen 1 remakes which came with gen 3 every other remake has followed the pattern of Generation number x 2 = remake 2x2=4 gen 4 has gen 2 remakes 3x2=6 gen 6 has gen 3 remakes 4x2=8 gen 8 has gen 4 remakes Fallowing this pattern gen 5 remakes will be part of gen 10, gen 6 remakes will be part of gen 12, gen 7 remakes will be part of gen 14, gen 8 remakes will be part of gen 16, and gen 9 remakes will be part of gen 18 So the people begging for gen 5 remakes are really just begging for gen 10

[@KingSlayerW]

I’m wondering, will there be games considered for switch 2? Or they’ll make games for the “Switch” but available for both? If not, well damn…

[@chobiechumpis]

Nah, I will be picking up the Nintendo Switch 4. 4 is better than 2, I am willing to wait twice as long.

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

Depends on what the Switch 2 confirmed can offer. That's when I will decide if I am gonna buy it yes or no. Cause every some years buying a new console which is better but not by heaps is not worth it to me. Makes zero sense. But then again Pokémon is a game I am always return too or keep playing. So since that will be the new "main" Switch, Pokémon games will come out for that as well. And that would be one of the reason i'd consider to buy one at some point.

[@chadwickmale2998]

Black and white remakes are not on the teraleaks because the new developers are most likely in charge of working on those games and they barely started to get things going just recently so there aren't any stuff they've got to leak

I would actually love a let's go version of Unova as long as we also get a sequel🌚🌚

[@drumd00d]

I hope Legends ZA is different than Arceus. I wasn’t a big fan of catchy masses or the same Pokémon and all the menu managing that came with that. The side quests were also very weak and fluff at best. I’m all for ZA being a bigger and open game, but I hope it’s more refined and let’s me focus on as little or as many Pokémon as we’d like.

[@supermariogamer1757]

A trailer is definitely soon

[@IsaiahFisher19]

Yes sir pokemon hype train ❤ 🔥

[@Zeroninja325]

I totally forgor the news about Pokemon Legends Z-A, the trailer and information for which are already came out, Provide Starter Pokemon from previous regions and introduce new characters or ancestor characters, and what is the version of Pokemon in that region?

[@satofreakgaming]

OK, so regarding the dolphin in this video... This is a big cope, but I think it COULD be connected to the GameCube Pokemon games, and I'll explain why: Dolphin may be a GameCube/Wii emulator currently, but they got the name from the GameCube's actual codename, Dolphin (As an aside, that's why Super Mario Sunshine takes place on Isle Delfino, and why Olimar's ship is called the S.S. Dolphin.) So to me, while the other ideas are possibilities, I'd personally think it'd be cooler if they were connected to the GCN titles, either as remakes, or even a third entry in the Shadow Pokemon Saga. Either way, I'm... hesitant as to if it's true, per say. As you said, Riddler Khu's accuracy has gotten shaky as of late, so I'll wait and see.

[@Ash-GreninjaExpert]

I do wonder. If we're getting backwards compatibility, do we have to buy the dlcs for our games again on switch 2 or what?

[@DerekFoote-j8v]

I’m really excited for legends ZA, but I hope they don’t do the agile-style and strong-style stuff I just didn’t like it personally. I understand a lot of people did like it though, I just really hope it’s a fun-long lasting game with incredible features overall

[@SegaMario]

0:49 I'm normally a patient person, but holy *HELL* is the wait for Z-A unbearable. Time just passes me by these days, yet Z-A feels like an eternity away. I wish we got at least one more trailer last year so we got *SOMETHING* to talk about and not suffer through the clickbait slop that bogans like HDvee put out daily for the sole purpose of making their rent. I'm glad GAME FREAK is supposedly taking their time with the game this time, but great Arceus above, a bit of news would help make the wait less unbearable.

[@Lupinemancer87]

[@shatteredsentient5321]

@ not gameplay, but the art style. It’s far superior to scarlet/v or sword/s. I think that the Pokémon arena game looks good too, but it’s almost too realistic. IMO.

You know what, as much as I disliked those games, you're actually right. The only positive thing I could ever say while playing them is how pretty they looked.

in sweden all games have been $70 (import costs) usually only bought cheap games as a kid.

[@iCrowLink]

I hope they take their time with the next gen too, I don't want it until 2027 at the earliest, giving them 5 years of development time at least. There was 3 years between Sword/Shield and Scarlet/Violet so maybe 2 extra years would let them make a better game without performance issues. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@nightwing2032]

Why would gen 10 not drop at the pokemon franchise’s 30th anniversary next year in 2026? Which is when I and many other people probably expect them to drop gen 10 in. Just like the 20 anniversary for gen 7 in 2016. I doubt Gen 10 is going to miss that 30 anniversary. They would probably want to celebrate that 30 anniversary with a new pokemon generation. The earliest of gen 10 would be 2025.

[@markrinella4436]

I may be in the minority, but I hope there isn't another game released this year. I believe on Pokemon day, we will get the Legends ZA trailer, and the release date will be sometime from June to November, with Gen 10 released a year later, November 2026. If Legends ZA is as good as the last or even if just fun, I could play that game for upto 2 years while waiting for Gen 10. Another game released in this period feels like a waste (unless it's a Unite style online game, which I dislike and have no interest in anyway). The only way I can see it working is if it shows up mid to late 2026, and Gen 10 comes for November 2027. But that's just me.

Nintendo comunity: "if you wont reveal the switch 2, we will!"

[@nightwing2032]

Pokemon will release legends z-a is 2025, either mid or late 2025. The gen 10 games will most likely be released and revealed in 2026 next year at the pokemon franchise’s 30th anniversary which I’ve been predicting they would since 2023 or 2022. If or when there is a gen 5 remake since they are next to be remade, then it would be after the gen 10 games release on the next Nintendo console. Like in 2027 or 2028. Gen 9 is almost coming to a close. Legends z-a is most likely going to be the last gen 9 game to be released before Gen 10. Gen 9 is most likely going to be 4 years long. I don’t see Gen 10 this year, only legends z-a releasing this year. I don’t know why Pokemon seems to think the gamefreak is just going to miss 2026 and the 30th anniversary and release gen 10 in 2027, 2028, or 2029. Without releasing Gen 10 next year which is a no brainer. And if Gen 10 releases in 2026, pokemon horizons will last 3 years long since it was delayed to spring of 2023.

Technically Orcas are dolphins as they are the largest members of the dolphin family. As for the legends games, I thought that was obvious that they were mainline games since gamefreak made them and they don’t necessarily make Pokemon spinoff games. They first spinoff game was Pokemon quests plus gamefreak and the Pokemon company probably confirmed that the legends games and let’s go were mainline games already.
