Pokémon Wind & Wave

Fiery puppy, watery gecko or beany bird?

The newest Pokémon Presents event gave a look at the next pair of mainline Pokémon games, subtitled Wind and Wave.

We’ve been told that Wind and Wave will be releasing sometime in 2027 and that it will be a Switch 2 exclusive; that’s important because it means that Wind and Wave won’t be tied to the Nintendo Switch’s older hardware.

We also got a trailer and a look at the three new starters.

Playing videogames, writing about videogames, considering videogames—that about sums it up. Videogames are the one hobby that I’ve kept since I was only little, zapping ducks on the NES or knocking out MR. X. And when I’m not enjoying classics from the bit generation of games or checking out those earliest of polygons, I’m probably playing something from today’s age of modern gaming: if I’m not complaining about it. Something I’m doing at the moment? Finally tackling Octopath Traveller 2.
