When for rumors and leaks Nintendo Switch 2 First fall started, I was as excited as anyone. There's no denying the original Switch's staying power, and I wasn't upset as it gradually became clear that it was, more or less, just stronger and better hardware. I wish it had a little more of Nintendo's unique energy, but I was fine with that. But with the Nintendo Switch 2 getting closer and closer, I decided against buying it for one major reason: the games.
None of the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusives speak enough to me to buy a new hybrid console yet, especially when what speaks to me is also available on my original Switch. Pokemon Legends: ZA Mine was available on the original Switch, so buying a Switch 2 for an upgrade doesn't make sense (for me). The same is true for Metroid Prime 4. Actually, buying a Nintendo Switch 2 to play Metroid Prime 4 Probably the only way the game could be more frustrating for me. I'm not big Kirby Fans, neither am I big was killed Fans, so when I want to play Kirby Air Riders and Mario Kart World Finally, I felt like I could wait. The biggest loss is Donkey Kong BananaBut I couldn't convince myself to buy it primarily for DK.
However, time may soon catch up with me. Am I worried about paying more for the Nintendo Switch 2 due to the state of the economy and/or the RAM crisis? yes But if I'm anything, it's being irresponsible with money. All signs point to a February 27 debut of the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive that I can't, in good conscience, miss: Pokemon Gen 10.
February 27th may mark the beginning of the My Nintendo Switch 2 era
At the beginning of the new year, the Japanese Pokemon Twitter account posted “Pokemon 30th Anniversary, here we go! 30 years since the release of Pokemon Red and Green. On February 27, 2026 (Friday), Pokemon turns 30. I have a feeling this year will be the best yet! Look forward to it!”
While this is a pretty standard announcement for IPs, new years, and anniversaries, it seems to reinforce all the rumors and leaks. Pokemon Gen 10 will be revealed on Pokemon Day 2026, February 27. Although I see it through rose-colored glasses (sort of), everything points to February 27 as the reveal of Pokemon Gen 10, possibly releasing in 2026. As soon as I know Pokemon Gen 10 is 100% real, I'm buying that Nintendo Switch 2.
This will give me plenty of time to play Nintendo Switch 2 exclusives, which I've been missing out on, eagerly awaiting new developments, new Pokemon, new looks, and more. He said, a lot of information is available Pokemon wind and waves Now thanks to Teraleak 2.

Pokemon Gen 10 and the Nintendo Switch 2 Sound like a Heaven I can't miss out on
While Teraleak seems more reliable than most leaks, it's worth repeating that all of them should be taken with a grain of salt. This gives me pause. All that makes sense given the direction of the hub, Raid Battles, and the franchise, but procedural generation Pokemon The game caught me off guard. It really depends on how it is implemented. That said, I'm deeply curious about a Pokemon that uses procedural generation for its evolution, meaning practically no players have the same seed Pokemon.
I know I won't miss one Pokemon the game Pokemon Yellow My first was a video game, and every generation excites me. No, I didn't care about that Pokemon Sword and the shield Doesn't really take advantage of the Switch's capabilities. No, I didn't care about performance and graphics Pokemon Scarlet and Purple were not perfect. PokemonI'll buy day one and buy a new platform if needed – no questions asked. Of course, not every game is of the same quality, but the simple truth is, Pokemon For me always selling consoles is the IP. And I can't wait to dive into Pokemon Gen 10 and enjoy some of the games I missed in the meantime. Well, until February 27th brings a new live and new region to Pokemon.
