Pokemon Generations Fans Demand an Epic Breakthrough: Will Generation 10 Games Finally Shatter a Decade-Old Tradition?

Many Pokemon fans desire the Generation 10 games to break the 10-year pattern that began with Pokemon X and Y. These fans wish to see a release without a battle gimmick, as seen in the previous games. Since the introduction of Mega Evolutions in Pokemon X and Y in 2013, every main series Pokemon game has come with a new battle gimmick. These gimmicks have brought unique Pokemon designs and exciting variations to the traditional formula. However, there are fans who are eager for a change.

Mega Evolutions in Pokemon X and Y were generally well-received, although some were disappointed with how they made combat encounters less challenging. The Z Moves in Pokemon Sun and Moon were not as popular as Mega Evolutions and faced similar criticisms. Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing in Pokemon Sword and Shield gained praise for their innovative Pokemon designs but once again, made battles somewhat effortless. Terastallizing, the gimmick in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, finds itself in the same predicament as the other Pokemon gimmicks.

Reddit user No_Wrongdoer_6114 has voiced their desire for the Generation 10 Pokemon games to deviate from battle gimmicks. This sentiment seems to be shared by many other fans, although optimism regarding Game Freak's receptiveness to this plea is low. It is highly probable that the Generation 10 Pokemon games, regardless of their form, will incorporate some form of gameplay gimmick, similar to Mega Evolutions and Dynamaxing.

Regarding the Generation 10 Pokemon games, there is scarce official information available. Rumors suggest that the games will be set in a Pokemon world inspired by Australia. However, beyond speculation, fans have little to go on in terms of what to expect from the upcoming titles. Considering the likelihood that the Generation 10 Pokemon games may be designed for release on the successor console to the Nintendo Switch, it may be several years before fans receive further updates.

The release of the Generation 10 Pokemon games may still be a few years away, but there are other Pokemon games expected to be released in the meantime. Rumors have circulated suggesting that the next Pokemon game will be a Pokemon Legends-style game set in the Unova region, instead of the traditional Black and White remakes. However, the validity of these rumors is yet to be determined.

On an official note, Pokemon fans can anticipate The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero, a two-part DLC currently being developed for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. This DLC is set to be released within the next six months.
