Pokémon Winds And Waves Is Arriving Next Year

Today during a Pokémon Presents presentation, which is also coinciding with the franchise's 30th anniversary, Game Freak revealed the next proper Pokémon games and they are called Pokémon Winds and Waves. They arrive in 2027. Alongside showing off the tropical environment that game will take place in, we also got a look at the new starters. Browt appers to be a grass bird-like Pokémon, Gecqua is a water-type gecko, and Pombon is a fire dog-inspired Pokémon. The footage for the game also showed off the trainers, and teased underwater exploration, which is not a first for the Pokémon series, but is an activity we haven't done in some time. Other than Browt, Gecqua, and Pombon, no other new Pokémon were shown or teased. It's safe to assume that mechanically, the game will function similarly to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet and the hints at gameplay appear to confirm as much. Pokémon Winds and Waves is coming to Switch 2 (no Switch 1 logos were shown in the trailer) in 2027.

Pokémon Champions Launches On Switch This April, Mobile Later This Year

The Pokémon Company has revealed that Pokémon Champions , its battle-focused game, will launch on Nintendo Switch in April. The mobile version, playable on iOS and Android devices, will be released later this year. Similar to older Pokémon games, like Pokémon Stadium back in the Nintendo 64 era, Pokémon Champions will allow players around the world to battle each other with all kinds of pocket monsters. It will "feature familiar mechanics such as Pokémon types, Abilities, and moves, creating an environment conducive to rich and varied strategies for new and experienced Trainers alike," according to the game's description. Revealed during the Pokémon Day Presents showcase held in February of last year, we finally know that we can play Pokémon Champions on Switch (and Switch 2, though a Switch 2 Edition hasn't been announced) in April, before it comes to mobile devices later this year.

Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness Comes To Switch 2 Next Month

It's not just any Pokémon Day – today is Pokémon's 30th anniversary. To celebrate, The Pokémon Company held its annual Pokémon Presents livestream, which includes news about new games and looks back on the series history. Midway through, it made an announcement that checks both those boxes: Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness is coming to Nintendo Switch Online. The game was first revealed as coming to the service during Nintendo's April 2025 Nintendo Switch 2 reveal Direct , but we haven't heard any news about its arrival in the GameCube library since. Gale of Darkness is a GameCube exclusive, and like other games on the system, it's been notoriously hard to play legitimately, with physical copies going for insanely high prices online. Now, it will be available to play on the Nintendo Switch Online expansion pack , alongside games like Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance or The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Like other GameCube games in the expansion back, it'll be exclusive to Switch 2. The current release date hasn't been fully nailed down, but today's livestream said Gale of Darkness will come it the service in March, so it should be right around the corner.
