Key points

  1. Centro Leaks on X was contacted by Takato Utsunomiya, The Pokémon Company’s Chief Operating Officer. 
  2. The executive requested that the user remove images that allegedly leaked Generation 10’s titling. 
  3. Various other Pokémon video game leaks have flooded the internet, including release schedules for new DLC. 

Centro LEAKS previously revealed images that they alleged were logos for Pokémon Wind and Wave, the supposed generation 10 versions. As of writing, Pokémon Generation 10 is codenamed Project Gaia. Takato Utsunomiya, The Pokémon Company’s Chief Operating Officer, personally contacted the leaker, requesting they take down the Pokémon leak images, thereby creating more precedent for the leaks’ validity. 

Various other information regarding Generation 10 was allegedly leaked as well; these claims are from the same source: Centro LEAKS. The leak claims the game will be turn-based. The feature to ride all Pokémon has been scaled down significantly, and the character narratives have changed a lot. The title is supposedly scheduled for 2026 with DLC plans for 2027. \

A digital version of Pokémon Legends: Z-A was leaked days prior to the official launch date, which was on Oct. 16, 2025.

The leak of Pokémon content comes during a time when Nintendo saw a cyber attack, according to a report from EuroGamer. Nintendo is reportedly downplaying the breach in its company servers, as mentioned in Sankei, a Japanese publication. No development or business information has been leaked from its servers. Crimson Collection, a hacking group, claims to have breached Nintendo’s servers and stolen internal data. Nintendo did not address the Game Freak leaks.
