The storm of Pokémon leaks never stops. Now, screenshots of an "online co-op battling Pokémon game" have surfaced.

Ride on a Pokémon while fight with other Pokémon against Pokémon

Project Synpase is the internal name of a leaked game planned for Nintendo Switch and mobile. Like any Pokémon game, the goal is to catch Pokémon. The twist with Synapse is that it plays like a shooter, with players riding on Pokémon, and using other Pokémon to attack with. In the published leaks, which have already been deleted on X, we saw a trainer riding on a Garchomp for instance.The leaker also shared some combat gameplay, which showed the Garchomp dig into the ground, like the Squids from Splatoon. Sadly, that’s all we know about Project Synapse, which may or may not still be in active development, as GameFreaks and the Pokémon Company are so far yet to give an official statement on the leaks. We have to admit, a Splatoon-like Pokémon game could be amazing, if nothing else it has left us hugely curious. Would you play Project Synapse?
