Pokemon Winds and Waves Officially Confirm 102 Pokemon

Though the games are launching in 2027 rather than this year, Pokemon Winds and Waves will no less be a celebration of 30 years of Pokemon, and now their Pokedex could already include over 100 Pokemon. 2026 marked the 30th anniversary of the Pokemon franchise, which has been celebrated across multiple games, spin-offs, and releases, such as in-game events and special merchandise. According to leaks, Pokemon Winds and Waves were supposed to launch this year, but were moved to 2027 to let Game Freak flesh the games out even further.
