Job vacancies with Game Freak, the developer behind the Pok\u00e9mon video-game franchise, seem to show that work on Pok\u00e9mon Gen 10 is forging ahead. The predicted launch year for the title has led to some discussion about when the Nintendo Switch<\/a> 2 could be released, as it is likely the next-gen Pok\u00e9mon game will be optimized for the next-gen Switch console.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Three job vacancies with Game Freak have been shared<\/a> on a popular forum that indicate the developer is hard at work on Pok\u00e9mon Gen 10<\/i>. All three listings, for an R&D Programmer<\/a>, Graphic Designer: Effects<\/a>, and Graphic Designer: Person Motion<\/a>, feature the phrase \u201cnext generation\u201d in regard to software, technologies, graphics, and effects. It\u2019s clear that Game Freak is referring to the 10th generation of the main Pok\u00e9mon<\/i> game series here, as opposed to any next-gen console. Interestingly, the timeline of the game\u2019s production may give an idea of when the Nintendo Switch<\/a> 2 might be launched.\n<\/p>\n

Typically, it takes Game Freak three to four years between Pok\u00e9mon<\/i> releases, with the last four generations separated by three years each. If the company takes three years with Pok\u00e9mon Gen 10<\/i> then a 2025 launch is on the cards, and it is likely that the Nintendo Switch<\/a> 2 will have been released long before that time. Game Freak will need Switch 2 dev kits or the like<\/a> to make sure its next Pok\u00e9mon<\/i> title doesn\u2019t suffer any of the glitches<\/a> or controversies<\/a> of its last two games. If the next-gen Switch 2 console turns up in late 2023, as has been previously rumored<\/a>, this would give Game Freak plenty of developing time for a 2025 Pok\u00e9mon Gen 10<\/i> launch.\n<\/p>\n

However, as has been pointed out<\/a>, the Pok\u00e9mon video-game franchise will be 30 years old in 2026 (Red<\/i> and Blue<\/i> were released in Japan in 1996), and this would be an ideal opportunity for Game Freak to launch the Pok\u00e9mon Gen 10<\/i> title. If this is the case, Nintendo could leave a Switch 2 launch for 2024<\/a>, as that would still give Game Freak enough time to work with dev kits and produce an enhanced version of Pok\u00e9mon Gen 10<\/i> for the next-gen console. It would also allow the Big N to sell as many original Switch devices as possible before it finally reaches its product end of life (EOL). <\/p>\n
