One of the most notable revelations from the leak is the codename for the Nintendo Switch 2, referred to as "Ounce." Additionally, codenames for the 10th generation of Pokemon games and details about unannounced Pokemon titles have surfaced. The leaked information includes development notes, concept art, and other undisclosed details.

The absence of the usual August showcase has left fans eagerly awaiting more news from the company.
