The Switch 2 exclusive is the next mainline entry in the series, and like previous games before it, it&#8217;ll introduce a whole new region populated with unique Pokemon. Just how many new Pokemon will there be? According to one report, we could be looking at\u00a0hundreds of\u00a0new critters to collect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditionally, each new mainline Pokemon game introduces around 100 new Pokemon&#8211;Generations 6-9 were the exception here&#8211;and we&#8217;ve already seen the starter Pokemon for Generation 10&#8211;Browt, Pombon, and Gecqua. According to the usually reliable Centro Leaks,\u00a0Pokemon Winds and Waves will have around 300 new Pokemon and forms in the game, and that&#8217;s an important distinction. If the trio of starter Pokemon follows the usual pattern of having two evolutionary forms, then that&#8217;s nine Pokemon right off the Zubat. Throw in brand-new pocket monsters&#8211;including challenging Legendary Pokemon&#8211;and the number climbs even further.<\/p>\n<p>  https:\/\/twitter.com\/CentroLeaks\/status\/2074524693269266509  <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But as mentioned above, this number also includes Pokemon forms. That&#8217;s a broad term, but usually, it includes regional variants of existing Pokemon, transformed versions based on a game-exclusive gimmick like the\u00a0Gigantimax gameplay mechanic, and new evolutions for older<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pokemon Winds and Waves won&#8217;t be out until 2027, but it looks like a few Poke-leaks are already surfacing.
