The release date for Pokémon Winds and Waves on the Switch 2 may have been confirmed with the announcement of the new Pokémon Horizons Wonder Voyage anime. This could make players potentially waiting longer for the Pokémon Gen 10 games than they anticipated. The new season of the anime will begin in May 2026 and is expected to feature filler episodes focusing on Pokémon GO, Pokémon Unite and Pokémon Sleep. However, a new season themed around Gen 10 would likely need to launch in April 2028, which would make it one of the longest waits between generations in the series' history. The release date has not yet been confirmed, but this announcement suggests a potential release window for Gen 10.
