This isn't the first time Game Freak has experienced a tragic hack, as it was only last year in October that the developer had to respond to a hack referred to as the "Teraleak," which revealed details about the developer's plans for the Nintendo Switch 2, employee information, game source code, new games, past projects, and Pokémon designs.

Now, Game Freak has been hacked again, and this time the developers' plans have been revealed, showcasing that three mainline Pokémon games are currently planned, with the first being Gaia/Gen 10, scheduled to release in 2026 with a DLC planned in 2027.

Lastly, and this one is probably the most interesting title for Pokémon fans, Game Freak is working on Seed, a new RPG that takes place across all Japanese-based regions, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. Game Freak intends to release this title sometime in 2029.
