Pokemon Winds and Waves Just Got a Discouraging Update

The Pokemon World Championships have officially wrapped up, giving fans a packed weekend of competition alongside a surprising amount of news about the franchise, but many fans hoping for a Pokemon Winds and Waves update are understandably disappointed. Worlds has become one of the biggest annual events on the Pokemon calendar, bringing together players from across the world for tournaments while also allowing The Pokemon Company to showcase what is next for the series. With Pokemon Winds and Waves still looming as the next major mainline games, there was plenty of reason to wonder if Worlds 2026 would finally have something to share about it.
