Massive Pokémon Leak Claims Gen 10 “Wind” and “Waves” Will Use Procedural Islands and Survival Gameplay (Targets 2030)

Leaked materials circulating online claim to show Game Freak plans for multiple upcoming Pokémon titles, including two mainline games codenamed Pokémon Wind and Pokémon Waves, plus other internal documents and footage. For now, these are leak reports and related files being shared on social platforms and forums; Game Freak and Nintendo have not confirmed them publicly.
What the leaks claim
According to materials being shared online, the main points are as follows. First, two future mainline games are referred to as Pokémon Wind and Pokémon Waves, with a target timeframe listed around 2030. Second, those games are said to use procedurally generated island systems inspired by Indonesia and Southeast Asia, and they reportedly emphasize survival-style gameplay elements, including jungle and underwater exploration. Third, the alleged documents say the games would begin in a large city rather than a small town, and that weather systems would be a central theme, including weather-themed legendaries.
Other claimed details include a new creature class called “seed” Pokémon, notes about rivals and enemy organizations, and a villain tied to land development. Separately, leaked planning documents reportedly outline a future title that would let players explore multiple previous regions seamlessly.
Evidence and context
There are a few concrete facts surrounding these leaks. In 2024, Game Freak experienced a breach of internal materials that led to broadly shared content — a situation widely referred to in the community as the “teraleak.” Moreover, Nintendo filed a subpoena earlier this year in relation to that 2024 breach.
Since then, several accounts and threads known for sharing Pokémon-related leaks have posted additional materials. The circulated items include concept documents, hand-drawn maps, proposal spreadsheets, and beta footage that some observers say does not match final builds of released games.

For reference, a longstanding forum thread collecting discussion of the broader leak and its contents can be found on ResetEra. In addition, multiple social posts from leak accounts are being cited by community members as the source for the newest claims.
Technical and design claims
The leaked materials reportedly include specific technical examples. For instance, they show footage or assets for water and wave simulations and snippets of unfinished terrain. Also, some documents list procedural-generation approaches and note an intent to free future titles from cross-platform constraints.

The original setting for Pokémon Wind and Waves is: Indonesia and Southeast Asia!
Note: This info comes directly from Shigeru Ohmori's documents from 2021, and contradicts the information about being based on Greece. We don't know if the region setting changed during development pic.twitter.com/JD67TnnquJ

Additionally, the leaks contain examples of earlier-stage mechanics that did not appear in final releases of other games, such as third-person shooting and parkour-like movement in beta footage for previous titles. Those discrepancies are often cited as evidence that the materials are genuine development artifacts rather than polished fakes.

Why skeptics raise questions
There are also clear reasons to be cautious. First, leaks are inherently partial and sometimes contradictory. For example, prior rumors about a Greece-based 10th generation setting conflict with the current Indonesia-inspired island claims. Second, generative tools can mimic art styles, so some images could be fabricated. Third, game development changes frequently; proposals and prototypes often differ from finished products.

Finally, even if documents are authentic, timelines and features listed in internal planning notes are not guarantees. Five-year roadmaps commonly shift during development.
What it means for fans
At present, the key facts are straightforward: materials claiming to outline Game Freak’s plans are circulating; some appear to come from the same broader 2024 leak; and Nintendo has previously taken legal steps related to that breach. Beyond that, these are claims and documents in the public sphere, not official announcements.
Therefore, until Game Freak or Nintendo confirms anything, treat these reports as unverified. Still, the leaked items are generating discussion because they are detailed and because similar accounts have shared accurate pre-release content before. In short, follow the discussion if you want to see more, but consider the information provisional.
