A new leak by major Pokémon leaker, "BallGuy", claims that the Gen 10 games could bring back a feature that completely changed how players catch Pokémon. This would mark the return of one of Pokémon Legends Arceus' biggest innovations, free-aim catching from the game's launch in 2022. The leak was made during an exchange on X when a player asked, "Can we expect real-time catching in WiWa?" The leaker responded, stating that he was unsure if the charging mechanic was kept in the final version of the game. However, he doubled down on the claim that the real time catching was back in the 2027 games. The potential for a new catching mechanic has also been noted.
