It appears another "gigaleak" has gone down, involving Nintendo. According to sources online, it appears that Game Freak has been hacked, resulting in internal data from the company being leaked to the public. Those involved in the hacking community or those within general Pokemon related groups are claiming that while they will not be discussing or dissecting the specifics within the leak, it initially is being claimed that there is a total of 1TB of data.

This allegedly includes the source code for Pokemon Platinum, source codes for Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver, beta builds of Pokemon Black and White 2, beta builds of Pokemon X and Y, and potential internal codenames for upcoming Pokemon projects. Within it are mentions of an online Pokemon game, a collaborative project between Game Freak and Studio ILCA, the potential code name of the Nintendo Switch 2 being "Ounce", and a project named Gaia, which may be the next generation of Pokemon titles.

Further details are slowly being posted on X, and as more becomes clear, we'll be sure to update this post with new information.

[Gigaleak]

I'm currently hearing that a significant amount of internal data from Game Freak is being leaked onto the Internet.

I don't intend on looking at this data so I can't confirm for myself, but I have heard it includes stuff like source code for HeartGold & SoulSilver.

[UPDATE]

• As some of the data from the gigaleak hints towards a "Gen 10" Pokemon game, industry insider NecroLipe claims that Pokemon Gaia will launch for both the Switch and its successor system.
• Users on ResetEra claim that a playable build of Legends Z-A is included in the leak.
• Ikkaku, Gaia-K, and Gaia-N are all codenames with Nintendo Switch product codes.
• Synapse appears to be an "online multiplayer" game. This is the collab project with ILCA, who worked on BD/SP. One claim states that it's similar to an MMO, while another says it's closer to Splatoon.
• Contrary to the claims of there being a version of Legends Z-A that is close to complete, the leaker has apparently said they don't wish to spoil the surprises of future unreleased games, so those will not be included in the leak.
• The hack is the result of a phishing attempt on a Nintendo Dev Portal user.
• Beta Gen 3 Pokemon sprites were leaked
• Internal design documents for Gen 4 and Gen 5 were leaked.
• An official map editor for Gen 4 is in the files.
• Logo and boxart design from Game Freak were included.

From the look of it, codename almost have nothing to do with real game name.

Can i get a vague hint? Looked around for an hour and could only finds a handful of sprites

I am sad none of these are Z or the finished code for SV and Legends

 

[Ettino]

Big spoiler. The new Pokémon will be set in a ye olde Japan. Where you got to play as a black guy and a female ninja.

Please look forward to it.

 

[LightBeam]

I know it's apparently a bit frowned upon to use stolen source code to build mods or something ...

I legit don't care, I hope some people have fun with it and make use of it. Nintendo will seethe but if it means we can see cool romhacks or something, that would be nice

 

[linuxares]

black guy

UNACCEPTABLE! It ruins my historical accuracy in my video game! REEEEEE!

honestly agree, especially with nintendos track record recently. the potential is definitely there, my interest is piqued.

 

[BlusterBong]

you try and make a joke but you forgot that it offended an entire nation outright. Repeatedly.

 

[J-Will]

Man, these hacks/leaks need to stop

 

[linuxares]

I know, but this was joke with pokemons in feudal japan. It's already extremely a-historical then

 

[NinStar]

Who it offended?

 

[ZeroFX]

Nice, I downloaded everything.

 

[BlusterBong]

Who it offended?

It's related to Assassin's Creed Shadows and how Ubisoft did literally everything wrong when trying to market the game and what they shown of it, especially to the Japanese audience, who take thier culture very seriously.

 

[AndorfRequissa]

we live in a world where no one supposedly owns anything. so the source code should be public. companies dont own it if we cant own it. karma

 

[MayorBryce]

I don't imagine someone here has access to the files of this leak?

I'm assuming not, but I might as well ask.

 

[DarkCoffe64]

It's unfortunate that this won't actually affect neither cancertendo or lazyfreak, but hey, take that, you assholes, lol.
If the lastest game's source code is out, it'd be so hilarious to see modders making fan patches to fix the games to make them actually functional, much like the same deal as Bethesda, and even more hilarious if said mods only work on the emulators, hah.

 

[MysticStarlight]

Deserved.

 

[Nozu86]

So switch oled IS switch 2! Since the symbol of Ounce seems to be ℥ which looks like a 1.5 three.

Pokemon Gaia? that's pretty cool there was a rom hack that was named that over a decade ago, there was bound to be some overlap at some point

when they did the c&d on pokémon prism, technically they released their own pokémon prism the next year (ultra sun ultra moon, necrozma is the prism pokemon and the game has a lot of rainbow aesthetic from prism splitting the light)

if it hadnt been ultra sun and ultra moon in two games, and they did just one third version, I wouldnt have been surprised if it would have been named pokémon prism. it's not like the three games need to name names related to each other, otherwise crystal and platinum wouldnt have been named the way they were named
