But the examples you've cited doesn't prove they intend to do a cross gen release for Gen 10. All we know from the code, is that they've tested versions of the game on the OG Switch. Kinda similar to the Pokemon Stars thing where they worked on a test version Pokemon Sun/Moon on the Switch, but that never got released because it wasn't intended as such. 

I believe it to be the same here, except the Switch 1 is too limited most likely and would amper anything they could try on the Switch 2 hardware.

No but they showcase that GameFreak is slow to jumping into a new platform generation and is willing to release a new Pokemon game on a platform that is already outdated by its successor.

Z-A could be the last Switch Pokemon game but we'll know for sure if Nintendo does cross gen or not.

The Zelda BotW could have been a test demo like you mentioned about Stars instead of cross gen too.

Anyways massive info for movie 24

Spoiler!

More information about movie 24:

- The original plot of dealing with bullying was scrapped as the executives thought it was too much.

- Light (the protagonist) is a young trainer who dislikes the idea of putting Pokémon in Poké Balls, over the movie he gets to "enjoy" being a trainer and discover it can be a good thing.

- Only the original 151 Pokémon were planned to be in the movie

Plot Summary (SPOILERS OF AN EARLY VERSION OF THE PLOT) The story begins seven years in the past with a dramatic confrontation at a hydroelectric power plant between two trainers, Shin and Gil, and their Pokémon—Blastoise and Charizard. In the midst of their fierce battle, the mythical Pokémon Mew appears. As the fight intensifies, the area is destroyed by Mew’s psychic power, leading to a tragic flood. During the chaos, Jiji, a kind-hearted trainer who has a deep connection with Mew, is seemingly killed while trying to protect Mew.

Fast forward to the present, Light, a 15-year-old boy living in the Kanto region, works at a Pokémon daycare owned by his grandfather. Light has an extraordinary ability to understand Pokémon’s personalities and needs. Among the Pokémon in his care is a particularly chubby Pikachu, whom Light affectionately calls Ponch Pikachu. Ponch Pikachu was left at the daycare years ago by a trainer who promised to return but never did.

Light soon becomes curious about Ponch Pikachu’s past and, through some sleuthing on social media, discovers a clue—a silk scarf worn by the Pikachu’s previous trainer. This leads him to Sicon City, a bustling metropolis where a major event called the Kanto Fest is about to take place. Determined to reunite Ponch Pikachu with its trainer, Light embarks on a journey to the city.

As the story progresses, Light learns that the trainer who left Ponch Pikachu is none other than Jiji, who is believed to have died in the flood seven years ago. However, there are hints that Jiji might still be alive, which drives Light and his new friend Akari, Jiji’s sister, to search for him.

As they delve deeper into the mystery, they cross paths with Gil, who has been imprisoned for his involvement in the destruction of the hydroelectric plant. Gil reveals the tragic truth behind the events of seven years ago, explaining that Mew went on a rampage after seeing Jiji get injured, leading to the disaster

The story culminates in a climactic showdown in Sicon City, where Mew, in disguise as Ponch Pikachu, reveals its true form. Shin, now a troubled and driven man, attempts to capture Mew to fulfill an old promise between him, Jiji, and Gil. However, Mew’s immense power threatens to destroy the city once again. Light, with the help of Akari, Gil, and Shin, works to calm Mew and prevent another catastrophe.

The movie ends with Light finally understanding the true meaning of being a Pokémon Trainer, as he promises to take care of Mew, now restored to its Pikachu form, and embarks on a new journey of his own.

Post-Credit Tease In a post-credit scene, the camera pans to a distant part of the Kanto region. In a hidden forest clearing, the legendary Pokémon Mewtwo watches the events from afar. It smirks, its eyes glowing with an ominous light. The screen fades to black, leaving a sense of impending adventure and the suggestion of Mewtwo’s potential return.

This actually what I believe too. They could re-release it for a 10th year anniversary sake in 2027, but I'm not expecting them to actually do it because they likely have other projects to focus on + I'd think a re-release should warrant more changes than just an fps and resolution increase to be a valid one.

Maybe there's a way to upgrade like Sony does with it's remasters from last gen. 10 bucks wouldn't be too hard of an ask.

Also that Pokemon movie scripts sound quite the thing ... But you know considering it has been in development hell for a while, an eventual final product would likely be different than this script.
