Blissful Pokémon Day! Today’s Pokémon Presents was filled with announcements, including the one fans have been waiting for. Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves made their debut, together with the Gen 10 starters: Browt, Pombon, and Gecqua. Set to be a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive launching in 2027, Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves will feature an open world to explore, crammed with windswept islands and an unlimited ocean of glittering waves.
As for the three starter Pokémon, Browt is a Bean Chick Pokémon and the Grass-type starter with the Overgrow ability. For Fire, we now have Pombon, the Puppy Pokémon with Blaze. Yes, it’s principally a Fire-type Pomeranian, and it’s lovely. Covering Water is the Gecko Pokémon Gecqua with the Torrent ability. Considering the sport won’t release this yr, it’ll probably be some time before we get more details. The Pokémon Company did say that starting with Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves, Brazilian Portuguese will officially be supported as a selectable language.
Today’s presentation also confirmed Pokémon Champions is heading to Nintendo Switch in April 2026, while mobile devices will get it later this yr. We also got one other look at Pokémon Pokopia, which launches on March 5. The tip of that trailer showed just how much variety the sport goes to supply, and now I’m much more excited for next week.
For older Pokémon fans, one of the best announcement is likely to be the Pokémon Red & Pokémon Blue Game Music Collection: Game Boy Jukebox. The little music player is modeled after the unique Game Boy and produces sound that’s paying homage to the Kanto region. The $69.99 jukebox comes with 45 cartridges that might be swapped out identical to an actual Game Boy, playing familiar melodies or sound effects from the unique Pokémon games. You may keep a watch out on the Pokémon Center for availability.
