Do you expect to see Gen 10 revealed during July’s Pokémon Presents?

What would it even look like?

It’s July, which means the July 22 Pokémon Presents is fast approaching, where, for an unspecified amount of time (likely 30 minutes), we are expected to get a host of new information from various Pokémon projects that are either out or coming soon.

Pokémon Legends Z-A is a given, as well as likely news for the new Pokémon TCG Pocket expansion and some new Pokémon Go details, alongside a sprinkling of the other Pokémon live service games from Pokémon Sleep and beyond. But there is one thing that is currently on the minds of every trainer across the world.

Will we see the next generation of new Pokémon make an appearance during this event?

Generation 10 is likely to be a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive title when it eventually comes up, and although Pokémon Company is focusing most of its efforts onto Z-A ahead of its worldwide October 16 release date, maybe now is the perfect chance to at least show off a theme or the starters for the next big Pokémon release to start getting people excited.

If it were to be revealed in any capacity, we likely would get something at the very end that showed a few brief teasers and nothing more, with a wider reveal likely planned for later in the year or early 2026 ahead of whatever release date the game would have. I personally don’t expect to see it myself. It feels too soon, and it would make more sense to reveal it next year during Pokémon’s 30th anniversary. But I’ve been proven wrong before.

There were sprinklings of rumors about the next generation Pokémon title during the destructive leaks that occurred last year, but considering most of the leaks came from clout-chasing content creators and social media accounts, I won’t be giving the information the time of day. I’ll wait to see an announcement with my own eyes.

But enough about that, do you expect to see Generation 10 revealed this year in any capacity? Or is it to remain a dream?
