As with any kind of rumour, this information should be considered unofficial until Universal Orlando officially confirms.
According to Orlando Park Stop’s Alicia Stella, new rumours suggest a Pokémon-themed land may replace Springfield, U.S.A: Home of The Simpsons at Universal Studios Florida (USF) sooner rather than later.
“New rumours suggest that Orlando [Universal Orlando/USF] may be getting a new land based on the Pokémon franchise, and sooner than originally expected.”

Additional quote:
“The original rumoured timeline for the latest version of the Pokémon land had it opening by 2030, but new rumours suggest the timeline has been moved up. With new HHN [Halloween Horror Nights] locations rumoured to replace the sprung tents this year, and talk of The Simpsons Ride closing as soon as this year or next year, we may see this new Pokémon land open several years sooner than expected.”
