It's reasonable to expect the line-up to be better than 2018 I'd say though you're right there's still a lot of uncertainty but for me that makes the speculation more fun. My expectation has things like a price increase and gen 10 Pokemon being a holiday title baked in since both seem likely to happen.

I'm not convinced Pokémon will make it. The same leaked schedule that put Pokémon Wind/Waves as 2026 also had Arceus as 2024, so I think it's likely it will also have been delayed. Ofc if it did launch it'd greatly help this year.

I'd actually prefer it gets delayed into 2027 so it gets as much development time as possible to help make it the leap forward the series needs. I just doubt Game Freak will be given more time since they've already been given longer than usual to make this one.
