Pokemon Gen 10 leak may reveal game settings

Game Freak, the developer behind Pokémon, was recently hacked. As a result, a metric ton of information about the future of the series, and more, has been leaked online. Included is information about the next main Pokemon game, Pokemon Gen 10, as it has been tentatively dubbed by the internet. In these details there is information about the game settings.

To that end, those who didn’t enjoy Pokemon Omega Ruby and Sapphire due to it being too watery may not enjoy the next installment of the main line, if this leak is to be believed. As Centro Leaks points out, citing leaked files in the Game Freak hack, the Gen 10 region will be an archipelago of many islands. This is also something known to leak Pokemon, Riddler Khu, which was also previously teased.

Unfortunately, that’s the extent of the details about the game’s region. How many islands make up the archipelago, for example, is not noted. Meanwhile, it’s also unclear which part of the map will require water crossing.

For those who don’t know, an archipelago is simply a name for a chain or collection of islands. Real-world examples include the Bahamas, the Maldives, and Japan.

This wouldn’t be the first time a Pokémon game had a multi-island setting, but depending on how many islands make up that archipelago, the setting could end up being very different from any previous setting in any previous game.

That said, remember to take everything here with a grain of salt. For now, this is just a leak, not official news. While it’s clear that this was, or even is, the plan for the next main Pokemon game, things change in development all the time. Especially with so much of this game being leaked, it’s possible that Game Freak will go back to the drawing board, although that will only happen if the game’s development isn’t too far along, which it doesn’t seem to be.
