Rumored Game Freak Roadmap: “Pokémon Wind and Waves”, Project Seed, and More

Days before the next Pokémon release, datamining leaks (attributed to Centro Leaks) claim to reveal Game Freak’s internal roadmap for multiple upcoming projects. The highlights: a Gen‑10 title called Pokémon Wind and Waves, a multi‑region prototype called Project Seed, and additional entries including a new Pokémon Legends title.

Important caveat: these files may be outdated or unauthenticated — some planning documents reportedly date back to 2020 — so treat these details as unconfirmed rumors rather than official announcements.

• Pokémon Wind and Waves — Reportedly Gen 10, themed around “infinity,” slated for a 2026 release with DLC in 2027. Early builds allegedly featured an MMO‑style lobby, online quest boards, raid bosses and underwater exploration.
• Project Seed — Described as a next‑generation, multi‑region prototype that could connect regions like Hoenn and Sinnoh; the leak suggests online multiplayer elements and free traversal between classic regions, with a possible 2028 timeline.
• Other titles — A new Pokémon Legends entry set in Galar (targeting 2027 and beyond) and DLC for Pokémon Pokopia were also mentioned.

If real, these plans point toward Game Freak experimenting with large‑scale online features — potentially even steps toward a Pokémon MMO. That would be a major shift for the series, which has historically focused on single‑player and limited local/online features.

Given the leak origin and the age of some files, it’s possible many specifics will change or never ship. Still, the idea of interconnected regions and MMO‑style systems would be a landmark change worth watching.
