The people who have been waiting for a long time for the next Pokémon game after Scarlet and Violet may not need to wait much longer. From what it seems by the latest reports, the sequel to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, also called Generation 10 by fans, is going to be revealed very soon. It is said the big reveal can happen during Pokémon Presents on February 27, 2026, which is also Pokémon Day as usual every year.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Sequel: The Reveal That Seems to Be Coming at the Right Time
According to the leak, the new mainline Pokémon games are mostly prepared to show. It is said to be releasing for the new Switch 2 console. Even if Game Freak or Nintendo do not say anything directly, the timing fits together with how they used to make announcements before. Previous Pokémon Day events have also been used for many major titles. So now, fans are thinking that this coming event will maybe finally show Generation 10 for the first time.
Scarlet and Violet Made the Road for the Next
Back on November 18, 2022, Scarlet and Violet came with introduced the Paldea region in an open-world way. That was a very new thing for Pokémon games. More than 120 new creatures got added, and there were also new features like Paradox Pokémons, the Terastallizing system, and Union Circle multiplayer exploration. The three-story paths gave players different types of game experiences.
But many players did not like the technical part of the game. There were many glitches and poor performance, especially in older Switch models. Then, in June 2025, an update was launched for Switch 2 that made it much better. Even after that, new content still keeps coming for Scarlet and Violet, like Tera Raid events. Some of the recent raids, like ones for Shiny Ruinous Pokémon, received criticism because players could not capture them directly.
If Generation 10 really is coming in February 2026, then it will give Game Freak enough time to do more work since Z-A is releasing in October 2025. Many fans are now hoping that the new game will be better polished and with improved graphics using the power of Switch 2. Some players want the journey to go back to Kalos or connect with Paldea again. But nothing is clear yet.
All are now waiting for Pokémon Company to announce it officially. Until then, excitement is already building as the next main Pokémon step looks very close now.
