New Nintendo Leak Reveals Unreleased Pokemon Games

2020 has been a very, very leaky year for Nintendo. And the leaks have continued with a brand new leak making the rounds today revealing not one, but two unreleased Pokemon games that Game Freak was originally planning to release after Sun and Moon, or, in other words, before Sword and Shield. Unfortunately, the leaks themselves aren’t very revelatory, but they do reveal the original plan was to make another two games set within the Kalos region after Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.

The leak comes way of a full a Pokemon Sun and Moon repository surfacing online. The files within are obviously dated, but the source code all but confirms that Game Freak wasn’t done with the Kalos region as there are two unused reserved spots.

Below, you can check out the evidence for yourself, courtesy of Centro Pokemon:

Of course, like every leak, this one should be taken with a grain of salt. While datamining leaks are typically quite reliable, they can also be misleading. Further, who knows whether or not these mystery games ever began development.

Unfortunately, while the leak reveals Game Freak was cooking something up with the Kalos region, it doesn’t reveal what it was cooking up or whether or not if any of it was close to materializing into an actual product.
