The hype surrounding the future of the Pokémon franchise has reached a fever pitch. Despite the anticipation for the multi-part DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the hype machine is already in full swing regarding the next mainline Pokémon game. And in the world of Pokémon, where there is smoke, there's fire-type speculation.
The latest information comes via Pokémon leaker extraordinaire, Riddler Khu, who has a solid track record of leaking high-quality and accurate content related to Pokémon Legends Arceus and Pokémon Scarlet And Violet, among others. His most recent breadcrumbs of insight point towards the next installments being a continuation of the Generation V pair of games, Pokémon Black And White. Instead of a more traditional remake, the leaks imply the forthcoming game mirroring Pokémon Legends Arceus' approach to Diamond And Pearl, injecting freshness into familiar lore.
The speculation surrounding a fresh journey into the world of Generation V Pokémon isn't merely wishful thinking. It's also grounded in sound logic. Pokémon Black and White are the chronological successors to receive a revisit. Furthermore, the noticeable scarcity of Generation V Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet mirrors the missing Generation IV Pokémon in Sword and Shield ahead of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl's release. Intriguingly, a prevalent Past/Future theme, similar to Scarlet and Violet, is also a fundamental component of the Black and White saga.
