Recent leaks sourced from the "Teraleak"—a large-scale data breach impacting Game Freak—have unveiled information on upcoming entries in the Pokémon franchise.
These leaks, which stem from a 2023 hack of developer Game Freak, provide the first glimpses into what may shape the future of Pokémon titles on Nintendo Switch and future Nintendo hardware.
All details reported here are based solely on verified files obtained from the breach and do not include speculative or unconfirmed information.
The most significant revelation is the reference to "Pokemon Legends 3," a title currently under development with Game Freak at the helm.
According to the documents, the new Pokemon Legends game is set in the Galar region—a locale previously featured in "Pokemon Sword and Shield." Early development notes specify that the story will take place 1,000 years in the past, offering players the unique opportunity to craft the first-ever Gigamax Poke Ball.
While no official release timeline, platform, or gameplay footage has been disclosed, the setting promises to expand the narrative and historical depth established by predecessors “Pokemon Legends: Arceus” and the mainline series.
Additionally, the Teraleak files identify a multi-region Pokémon remake, currently identified by the codename "Seed." This project is described as featuring interconnected settings that allow the protagonist to travel on foot between Sinnoh and Hoenn—a first for the franchise.
Notably, Kitakami, a region introduced in "The Teal Mask" DLC for “Pokemon Scarlet and Violet,” is also listed as included.
However, specifics regarding gameplay mechanics, release date, or finalized platforms remain undetermined at this stage of development.
Another noteworthy mention within the leaked files outlines that Pokémon Generation 11 is in early planning stages, with tentative projections targeting a launch around 2030.
At this stage, no additional information, such as game titles or regional settings, has been documented, and all scheduling remains subject to change based on development milestones.
The Pokémon Company and Game Freak have both experienced prior instances where in-development projects, including rumored titles like "Pokemon Legends: Ho-Oh and Lugia," were later altered or cancelled.
These new findings from the Teraleak reinforce that product details can shift significantly over the course of production.
As with any leak, it is essential to remember that plans uncovered in internal development files do not always result in a finished game reaching consumers.
However, the Teraleak offers fans, developers, and industry watchers rare visibility into the scale and ambition of ongoing work at Game Freak and underscores the continued importance of Nintendo Switch and future hardware in the franchise’s roadmap.
For now, details such as the setting of Pokemon Legends 3 in Galar, the cross-region premise of the multi-region remake, and long-term plans for Generation 11 provide concrete, fact-based insight into Pokémon’s next era.
As further official announcements are made by The Pokémon Company or Game Freak, those developments will be reported here with up-to-date analysis and commentary.
