And yes, you read that correctly. It looks like Gen 10 will be made up of islands, but on a MUCH larger scale than Sun and Moon.
Pokémon Winds and Waves (current leaked title, but subject to change), will take place on a series of islands at a massive scale. In fact, numerous leaks indicate that these games will provide Pokémon fans with the much-anticipated graphical and size upgrades they have been yearning for for years. years.
Reportedly, the Gen 10 Pokémon map will have 18 islands, a deep sea and entire ocean to explore, making it Pokémon‘s largest map yet. These leaks come directly from Centro Leaks, who is known for being incredibly on point with Pokémon leaks in the past.
