Pokemon Gen 10 will reportedly launch on Switch 1 and 2, according to Game Freak leaks
The October 11 Game Freak leaks have shared plenty of information, including hints about Pokemon Gen 10 and a Pokemon multiplayer/battle-focused title. The Pokemon Company has barely shared much information regarding Pokemon Legends Z-A, with nothing being discussed regarding the titles that will herald Gen 10.
As with any such leaks, it is always advised to take the information with a pinch of salt and wait for the developers to share official information. Nevertheless, this is all we currently know from the leaks.

Pokemon Gen 10 - "Gaia"
According to @CentroLeaks, the Gen 10 Pokemon game is codenamed "Gaia" and is being developed for "Ounce" (codename for Nintendo Switch 2). Regarding Gen 10's availability, @necrolipe mentioned that it will be there for both Switch 1 and Switch 2. On the topic, @CentroLeaks stated:
"We can confirm the leak includes a mention of a Switch 1 version of Pokémon Gaia. So yes, they are at least testing it on Switch 1, whether they will end up releasing it we'll have to see."
Another well-known Pokemon leaker, @Riddler_Khu, mentioned cryptically "too much water" concerning the Gen 10 games. The community quickly started noting that Greece might be a potential region for the next mainline series. For context, the Gen 9 Paldea region was based on the Iberian Peninsula.
The Gen 10 titles will reportedly be Pokemon K and Pokemon N. While that doesn't reveal much, fans will surely come up with wild theories to connect all of the leaked information together in a coherent narrative.
Pokemon multiplayer/battle-focused game - "Synapse"
@CentroLeaks mentioned that Game Freak is collaborating with ILCA to develop a multiplayer/battle-focused Pokemon title, featuring the codename "Synapse." While they initially thought that the rumored game would be an MMO, they quickly clarified that wasn't the case.
