🚨 NEW Pokémon Winds & Waves Leak 🚨
According to a new leak, Pokémon Winds & Waves will have a story heavily connected to time travel.
Anime Prequel
A prequel anime is reportedly in development, similar to Pokémon Twilight Wings.
The series will focus on the origins of the game's main cast, following the Professor, the Champion, and a mysterious third girl.
Character Details
During the events of the anime, the Professor is said to be 14 years old, while the Champion is 20.
The anime takes place 30 years before the game's story.
The Twist
Near the end of the series, the Professor is allegedly sent back in time.
Because of this, by the time players meet him in Pokémon Winds & Waves, he is actually chronologically older than the Champion, despite being much younger in the prequel.
Interestingly, the last three main Pokémon generations have all released in November, which could suggest that Winds & Waves might follow the same pattern.
🌞🌙 Gen 7 Pokémon Sun & Moon November 18 2016
⚔️🛡️ Gen 8 Pokémon Sword & Shield November 15 2019
🔴🟣 Gen 9 Pokémon Scarlet & Violet November 18 2022
🍃🌊 Gen 10 Pokémon Winds & Waves 2027 TBA
If the pattern continues, November 2027 feels like a very plausible release window for the next mainline generation 👀
What do you think the actual release date will be?

An asteroid was named after Jannik Sinner: ‘(120097) JannikSinner’ ☄️🌟
Astronomer Fabrizio Bernardi, who works at Space Dynamics Services, and astronomer Maura Tombelli:
“Like a comet or a fixed celestial body, Sinner represents a shining beacon for new generations. From today, his greatness is written among the stars.
We wanted to dedicate this asteroid to Jannik Sinner, not only for his extraordinary sporting successes, which are bringing Italy to the top of the tennis world, but also for the values of resilience, fairness, and absolute dedication he embodies on and off the court.”
