Pokémon Fans Torn Over Our First New Type In 13 Years

by

With the official announcement of Pokémon Winds and Waves, we’re starting to confirm which earlier rumors about the game were accurate, and which weren’t. One ongoing question is whether the new generation of games will introduce a completely new Pokémon type. Since Winds and Waves isn’t scheduled to release until 2027, fans are already debating if adding a new type is a good move for the series.

Pokémon fans on Reddit are discussing a leaked new Type that first surfaced months ago thanks to CentroLeaks, a source with a generally reliable history. The leak suggests that Generation 10 will introduce a “Seed” Pokémon Type. There’s also talk of a baby version of this Seed Pokémon appearing near resorts in the upcoming Winds and Waves game, and it’s said to have a huge number of different forms.

Pokémon Fans Are Torn Over This Winds & Waves Leak

This would have been major news if it were true, as it’s been 13 years since the Fairy type was added in the Pokémon X and Y games (from Generation 6). While we’ve seen new features like Gigantamax Pokémon and regional forms since then, no completely new types have been introduced. Despite the ‘Seed Pokémon’ rumor being debunked, fans were still hoping for a new type to appear.

One commenter called the idea “terrible,” but others quickly began to see its potential. One Reddit user compared it to Nebby from the Gen 7 Pokémon games, suggesting it could be a plot device to advance the story while concealing the identity of the game’s likely mascot until the very end.

Could Pokémon Really Introduce A New Type?

Some people weren’t sure and explained that the information came from text related to the trading card game for the tenth generation of Pokémon. In the game’s development, “Seed” is just the code name for the basic, first-stage Pokémon. Another Reddit user pointed this out at the time, and CentroLeaks later confirmed it. So, the idea of a new type of Pokémon called “Seed Pokémon” seems to be a misunderstanding.

It’s still unclear if a completely new Pokémon type will be introduced. Some rumors suggest a new Eeveelution could be that new type, just like Sylveon was for the Fairy type. However, we should be cautious about these leaks and rumors, as there’s still a lot we don’t know about the upcoming Winds and Waves game.

It’s unclear if a new Pokémon type will be introduced, and fans are divided on the idea. However, it seems a ‘Seed’ type is unlikely. We’ll likely find out more details as the release of Pokémon Winds and Waves in 2027 approaches.
