Summary
- The Generation 10 Pokemon games may be set in Italy, as hinted by a reputable leaker's cryptic emoji tweet.
- The Generation 10 Pokemon games have not been officially announced at the time of this writing.
- The next major Pokemon game is Legends: Z-A, which is set in the Kalos region and is releasing in 2025.
Based on a comment by a reputable leaker, some Pokemon fans are thinking that the Generation 10 games will be set in a region inspired by Italy. The Generation 10 Pokemon games have not been officially announced at the time of this writing, and at this rate, it's unlikely that franchise fans will learn of the games for quite some time.
Right now, the Pokemon franchise is busy with other projects. Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket is releasing at the end of this month, and next year, Pokemon Legends: Z-A will be hitting store shelves. Generation 10 Pokemon games are an inevitability, but it remains to be seen exactly when they will be released to the masses.
Build-a-Bear Reveals Iconic Gen 1 Ground-Type Pokemon Plush
Pokemon and Build-a-Bear team up once again to introduce an iconic Gen 1 Ground-Type to the lineup of huggable plush collectibles.
It's still unclear when Game Freak and Nintendo will announce the Generation 10 Pokemon games, but in the meantime, an interesting detail about them has seemingly leaked. Reputable Pokemon leaker Riddler Khu took to Twitter to tease a new Pokemon project by using the "prayer" emoji. Fans have connected the dots, believing the prayer emoji to be a reference to Vatican City. The assumption is that the leaker is teasing Italy as the inspiration for the Generation 10 Pokemon region, but it's also possible that the "new project" being referred to is something else, and so fans should keep that in mind.
Leaker May Be Hinting at Generation 10 Pokemon Games Set in Italy
This is far from the first hint that the Generation 10 Pokemon games will be set in a region based on Italy. In fact, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet themselves seemingly teased Italy as the region for the next games by featuring a painting showing a "beautiful town in a different region" that looked like Italy. Other theories have suggested that the painting actually depicts Greece or Mexico. The painting could also mean nothing, but Game Freak is known to hide hints about future Pokemon games in its titles.
Unfortunately, Pokemon fans are unlikely to get definitive answers about the Generation 10 Pokemon region for a while. The next major Pokemon game is Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and it's not releasing until 2025. Considering this, it's quite possible that the Generation 10 Pokemon reveal won't be until 2025 either, or maybe even 2026.
In the meantime, this isn't the only tease Riddler Khu has shared with the Pokemon community recently. The leaker also suggested that Pokemon Legends: Z-A news would be coming soon, but that has yet to actually happen at the time of this writing. Pokemon fans should keep an eye out for more info on Legends: Z-A and the Generation 10 Pokemon games, though the wait for the latter will likely be a long one.
