I have no idea what this means lol but the way you word it sounds like this is “smoking gun evidence” of legitimacy. That sucks for the ppl behind Pokémon Co & GameFreak. :/

Its also been revealed that Pokemon Black/White's source code was leaked too so thats another set of games.

With the source code out, anyone can reverse engineer/re-compile the game and do the following....

-Release it on other platforms (through modding) or make the closest to what a PC version of the game would be
-Improve resolution and frame rate (60 FPS), wide screen support
-Introduce mods and fan games (like the Super Mario world fan games)
-Find ways to exploit, do cheats, find secrets that otherwise would have been impossible to find on normal hardware
-Fix bugs and glitches that publishers/developers claim that are unfixable
-Remove any DRM on a game to make it playable on any platform (modding)
-Find hidden code of stuff that was supposed to be in a game but did not make in the final game (for an example, they found several pokemon designs that did not make it in the final game).

- the same thing happened to Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time earlier this year/last year

It's not that simple. The source code is legally radioactive, so using it for anything leaves you wide open to getting smacked by a lawsuit. The N64 decompilations are safe from this because they are 100% reverse engineered.

Nothing of particular note, it seems, but I'm worried The Pokemon Co. and ILCA are still working together after the DP ""remakes"" were a thing.

I wouldnt be surprised at that but from what I see people talking about....

So far....

-Gen 10 Pokemon will be on both Switch and its successor

-Gen 10 Pokemon code game is Gaia

-Gen 10 Pokemon versions labeled as "Version K" and "Version N"

-ZA code game is Ikkaku (though I believe that was already revealed months ago)

-Switch Successor code game is Ounce

-Pokemon HeartGold, SoulSilver, Black and White source codes released

-Pokemon Bank source code

-Protoype music from Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver

-Some models that showcase that Black and White were suppose to be the first 3D Pokemon games but got changed back to sprites (X/Y - 6th gen became the first 3D Pokemon mainline games instead)

-Multiple builds of Pokemon X and Y

-Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald map level editor

-Early designs of the 3rd gen starters and other 3rd gen pokemon

-"Synapsis" - MMO made in collaboration with ILCA

-Splatoon like battle game (some people are saying its tied to Synapsis)

-Cancelled remake of GameFreak's first game "Quinty"

-Netflix Live action Pokemon series which was suppose to release this year but still in the works, expected to have 5 seasons

Apparently there could be more - the entire leak is supposedly 1 TB.



Ugh, wish they would stop with the 2 versions of the game. So annoying and scummy



Why don't they hire some of the palworld devs instead of suing them.

Never gonna stop, because people are buying the games so it make sense for them to release two versions still.

Also more information on the leaks

-1,962 concept art and character designs leaked from the anime

-gen 10 is supposedly meant to be a "reboot" combining elements of older generations and newer generations of the series, looks at DQ and TOTK for influence

-there's apparently an "ORAS" style gen 5 game in dev but not in dev by gamefreak or ILCA. "ORAS" style is vague so leaker doesn't know if its a remake, or a sequel, or re-imagining or what

-Lots of interesting scrapped pokemon designs.

-Arceus expanded lore which did not make it in any game



Statement from Gamefreak. 2600 names and e-mail addresses of employees are confirmed to have leaked.

If I was a hacker the last company I'd want to fuck with is Nintendo.

They turned the last hacker into essentially a slave for them, Lol.

Got this from the ResetERA thread about the leaks.

Codename: Bauer

Has been in development hell since at least 2021, was originally planned to release in 2023.

This film was being thought of as a reboot of the movie universe to reconnect with lapsed fans, and to try to get a more adult audience to watch the film.

It's set in modern Kanto and the main Mythical Pokémon of the plot is Mew. Two new protagonists: Light and Akari (male / female). The idea is that the film will touch modern society problems, like cyber bullying and suicide.

Directed by Kobun Shizuno (Detective Conan).

This would have been amazing.....especially directed by someone who works on the Detective Conan movies (which all of them have been awesome).

Ok, that really has my attention. The Romhack community would do wonders with an easily accessible map editor.

-Netflix Live action Pokemon series which was suppose to release this year but still in the works, expected to have 5 seasons

Is this Pokemon Concierge? Or is it something else?

-Gen 10 Pokemon will be on both Switch and its successor

Would Nintendo allow this? Pokemon games are always system sellers, would they kill part of that momentum for extra software sales? Also, GameFreak is already overtaxed with the Switch alone, would making a multiplat like that be even more work?



You know it deserves the GOTY.
