The tenth generation of the “Pokémon” series, “Pokémon: Storm”, was officially released earlier this year. Although players will have to wait until 2027 to see this long-awaited sequel to the Nintendo Switch 2 platform, various leaks seem to have continued uninterrupted. And just recently, a new piece of news revealed another new Pokémon that will appear in this work.
At present, the official has only released the initial three Pokémon of “Pokémon Storm”, namely the grass-type “Yebibi”, the fire-type “Boomgun” and the water-type “Miaomi”. In the past few months, fans have been looking forward to the official release of more information about other new Pokémon, and have also seen rumors and revelations from various sources.
As for this revelation, it came from a Twitter user “BallGuy“, although he has not been a very reliable whistleblower in the past, before the official release of the tenth generation, BallGuy endorsed a 4chan post that broke the news about the three Pokémon families in “Pokémon Storm”, and the final result was almost completely successful.
According to BallGuy, one of the most common basic Pokémon in the new area of ”Pokémon Wind and Waves” is a “half-bird, half-flying fish” Pokémon with “water + flying” attributes. This design is indeed very consistent with the archipelago theme of the new tenth generation game. However, the leaked design provided by this whistleblower is not actually a new design created by the team for “Pokémon Storm”, but one of the old concept images from the “Pokémon Gold and Silver” era. In fact, similar design concepts were explored during the earlier development period of the Kanto region.
In past “Pokémon” series works, the team actually often recycled old or abandoned designs and reused or transformed them. For example, there are the shellless sea hare, sea hare beast, three evil dragons, primitive sea turtles, and the ultimate beasts that appeared in “Sun and Moon”. Therefore, it is not surprising that a similar situation appears in this design. In this regard, many fans have already called this “Bird, Flying Fish” Pokémon the “Both” Pokémon, because this design embodies both the “wind” and “wave” themes.
“Pokémon Storm” is currently expected to be officially launched on the Nintendo Switch 2 platform in 2027. The exact date has not yet been determined. If the game will be launched in the first half of 2027, many fans believe that The Pokémon Company may officially launch follow-up promotions in the next few months. However, according to BallGuy, players may not see more follow-up news within this year, suggesting that the exact launch time of “Pokémon Storm” may fall in 2027. Autumn or end of year.
The marketing rhythm of the “Pokémon” series has always maintained a similar pattern. Following the past few generations, officials usually reveal the “cover legendary Pokémon” in the second trailer, so “Pokémon Storm” may adopt a similar approach. And if BallGuy’s statement is correct, then players may really have to wait until “Pokémon Day” in February 2027 to see follow-up news. However, news about two “Legendary Pokémon” has already leaked out.
This information comes from another more reliable whistleblower, Riddler Khu, who described the cover legendary Pokémon of “Pokémon Storm” as “Grandpa Wind” and “Grandma Wave.” The final relationship and design of these legendary Pokémon, as well as the above-mentioned water + flying fish-bird hybrid Pokémon, has yet to be officially announced. It seems that players can only wait quietly for more official news.
