A New Pokémon Leak Arrives With Its Own Discount Code Attached

A rumored 100-plus Pokédex for the next game called Winds and Waves is making the rounds again, this time from a channel that also happens to be selling Switch 2 cases in the same breath.

Another rumor about the next mainline Pokémon game is circulating, and once again it arrives without anything you could call proof. The channel RuffledRowlit used its latest upload to claim the project known in leak circles as Winds and Waves could ship with a Pokédex running past 100 creatures, a figure framed from the start as rumor rather than confirmed detail.

No roster, no evidence, no path to verification: just a number attached to a project name that has been floating around leak communities since at least last week, when HDvee Teases New Winds and Waves Leak, but Light on Specifics covered the same project under the same fog. Two channels, one rumor, and still nothing that qualifies as confirmation from Nintendo or Game Freak.

What the claim actually says

The figure itself, if it holds, would be modest by franchise standards. Recent entries have routinely cleared that count with returning Pokémon padding the regional dex. A rumor that the next game merely matches what the last several already did is not a bold prediction so much as a safe one dressed up as a scoop.

Who the leak actually serves

Watch where the video sits and the incentive gets easier to read. The same description carrying the Pokédex rumor also carries a discount code for Switch 2 cases and screen protectors, tied to the same channel. A leak does not need to be true to do its job. It needs to be clicked, shared, and sat through long enough for the sponsor read to land. The rumor is the hook. The accessory code is the business model wearing the rumor as a costume.

Nothing confirmed, same as last time

Neither RuffledRowlit's video nor the earlier HDvee coverage offers anything from an official Nintendo or Game Freak channel. Until one of those companies puts a number on a Pokédex, this stays exactly what it has been since the first version of this rumor appeared: a claim worth tracking, not a fact worth repeating as one.
