Publisher The Pokémon Company and developer Game Freak have announced Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves, two new titles set to launch worldwide in 2027 for Nintendo Switch 2. An announcement trailer was also released, showcasing several islands and environments, along with trainers and their updated designs, as well as returning and newly introduced Pokémon. The new starter Pokémon include the Grass-type Browt, the Water-type Gecqua, the Fire-type Pombon, and a special Pikachu.
Additional details via the Pokemon website:
Your main character will sport a different outfit depending on which version of the game you play—and of course, you’ll set out with one of three first partner Pokémon. Will you choose a Grass type by partnering with Browt, the lively but clumsy Bean Chick Pokémon? Or perhaps you’ll heat things up with a Fire type by picking Pombon, the guileless and friendly Puppy Pokémon. If Water types are more your speed, then the intelligent Water Gecko Pokémon, Gecqua, might be the partner for you.
The trailer also showed off a pair of special Pikachu with a brand-new look. We’ll have to wait a bit longer to learn how Mr. Windychu and Ms. Wavychu will be involved in the adventure.
Additionally, it was announced that beginning with Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves, Brazilian Portuguese will officially be supported as a language players can choose. Now, even more fans around the world will be able to play this new adventure in their native language!
