Mainline "Pokémon" games traditionally introduce players to their new regions in familiar ways. You will start your journey in a small town, then a professor will give you a series of tests before you own a Pokemon. Basically, it's a quick tutorial formula for every mainline title.
"Pokémon Winds and Waves," reportedly planned as the 10th generation of mainline Pokémon games, could take a different approach. Leaked information allegedly connected to the game's early development suggests that its opening may introduce players to a much larger world, a new gameplay mechanic called Majinization, and even a legendary Pokémon very early in the adventure.
