25 years ago, Pokemon Yellow started a tradition that the series has yet to evolve past

Pokemon Yellow was released 25 years ago, and with it came the greatest tradition of the entire franchise – one that may never be broken.

Now a credible one Pokémon-focused leaker called Centro Leaks revealed the existence of Project Swallow, a canceled Pokémon party games that were being developed for mobile platforms. In Centro Leak's Twitter post, it is possible to see four clips of Pokémon board games, which were described as resembling WarioWare series, which has several short mini-games. In the clips shared by Centro Leaks, it is possible to see some mini-games, which include activities such as finding a Poliwag, fighting with a Poke Ball and a baseball mini-game. Unfortunately, it is currently unknown why Project Swallow was cancelled.

This is far from the only relevant information revealed by Pokémon leak though. For example, Centro Leaks revealed it last week PokémonGen 10 games may take place in an archipelago with multiple islands, leading some fans to speculate that the setting may be based in ancient Greece.

Another big project revealed by Centro Leaks was a new multiplayer Pokémon game. Called Synapse Pokémonthis project is in development for Switch and mobile platforms, and it is said to be a multiplayer game with gameplay elements similar to Splatoon series. The leaks also indicate that players would have been able to run Pokémon like Garchomp, Samurott, and Electivire in the game, as well as have plenty of avatar customization options.

As usual though, it's always best to take these leaks with a grain of salt. Although all evidence points to the leak being real, projects are constantly changing, so it's impossible to know about games like multiplayer Synapse Pokémon will remain the same during development. With this in mind, it is always best to wait for an official announcement.
