Deepest lore

Although this one seems confirmed I suggest to stop sharing whatever Centro post. 

He's a pretty unreliable source of shares when some of the stuff about the leak is plain false. He got baited by people on 4chan lol.

Could just as likely be The Pokemon Company or Nintendo cock blocking anything deviating too far from the status quo. GF is the dev that ultimately does what its told with the IP.

Nintendo has no power over Game Freak (if anything GF probably has a majority of Creatures Inc. and thus TPC), so I doubt that would be the case.

This sort of conservative mode of operation isn't that unusual for Japanese developers, so that's more likely to be it.

Lewtwo has stated this is fake

I'm assuming you are talking about the Pokemon Archivist , dont see anywhere he mentioned it being fake.

Ah okay , not bummed about the lore stuff - mainly care for the game stuff.

(Though I kinda hope/wish that stuff about Lapras, Typhlosion , etc is fake...creepy as hell).

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

Uh oh, this really sucks, hopefully people don't try using this information for malicious stuff.

Welp that last part was confirmed lol 😆 

But seriously, there isn't anything you should take too seriously about this deep lore stuff since none of it has been endorsed by the officials on the matter. Dixit. It's not canon

But yeah, can't say, some of those read, translating to a lot of parallel with legends and weird old folklore stories but applied to Pokémon is quite funny in some aspects.

Anywoo, Typhlosion is safe(officially, at least).

Well, that was part of the Arceus event that never went live.

Not really sure how it would work now so many gens later. Either some of the mons are changed by newer legendary/mythical mons, or it's ignored altogether.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Man, if I were a modern publisher/developer, I'd keep all files offline. I don't care how difficult it would make development. No online access. Period.

How has Game Freak responded to all this?

They put out a short statement, I don't imagine they'll say much else beyond that and leave it to Nintendo's army of lawyers to handle the rest. Personal information was leaked and the dude is bragging about having source code, if this dude is found out then Nintendo is going to absolutely destroy his life.

Well it would serve him right for leaking personal information.



They really put the Freak in Game Freak

I swear, this all looks like one of the employees' fanfiction. Who saves all that stuff on the company database? Do they have a Disney-like clause, the company owns everything the employees produce with their IP, even the degenerate stuff?
