Before pokemon presents, there were many rumors and leaks about Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and most of them turned out to be false. However, one leak has proven to be true, except for a claim about ‘a new Nintendo Switch model’.

Pokémon received some new updates and announcements during the recent showcase, but Pokémon Scarlet and Violet were perhaps the most exciting. Not only will they be adding paradox forms for Suicune and Virizion in 7-star raids, but also the official “Area Zero Hidden Treasure” DLC has been announced.

It includes new and old Pokémon, new Legendaries, and is split into two parts: The Teal Mask (Fall 2023) and The Indigo Disc (Winter 2023). Now, if the other leak is true, we would see a new Switch model in winter 2023.

Shared and verified as posted prior to the event, the alleged leaker claims to be a Pokémon programmer on an outside team. He shared the exact name of the DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, some minor updates, the paradoxical names and types of Suicune and Virizion, and details about the new legendaries.

In fact, they’ve all appeared in one form or another in Pokémon Presents, except for the last claim: that the outsourcing team is working on a major graphics fix for the “new Nintendo Switch model” which will be released alongside DLC 2, i.e. in Winter 2023.

All this is to be taken with reserve, since nothing is officially confirmed, but it would be strange to make this false statement among so many successes, above all. The fact that the complaints only relate to one of the advertisements in the game also strengthens the access this employee has.

That said, it should be noted that this statement does not necessarily refer to a “Switch 2”, “Switch Pro” or a successor, as such rumors are rife. Since its initial launch, there have been the new Lite and OLED models, while the “main” Switch console actually has two models: one with lower battery life than current models.

As such, this rumor could define another model update, minor or otherwise, in place of a new portable Switch successor console.
