During the infamous Game Freak "Teraleak" incident, one of the involved parties claimed that they had obtained access to early builds of the then just-announced Pokemon Legends: Z-A, including developer documentation and even source code. The leaker refused to release any of the content related to Legends: Z-A so early on, promising to return once the game had launched, and then drop those insider files onto the internet. And sure enough, they did just that, uploading multiple builds of the game, both for PC development and on the Nintendo Switch, and the source code for the game. But that wasn't all.

Internal plans were also included in the leak. In the documentation, Game Freak appears to already have plans for a "Legends 3", which would take place in the Galar region. The new upcoming generation of Pokemon games were also mentioned, with early screeenshots, codenamed Winds and Waves. There is another project referred to as "Seed", which aims to be a "multi-region Pokemon remake", allowing players to walk from Hoenn to Sinnoh. These design plans are claimed to have been made in 2021, so plenty could have changed. X user Centro LEAKS is documenting all of the Teraleak, though be warned, as Nintendo will likely send takedown requests to those who share images and content from the leak.

Pokemon Rainbow in 2025 is insane. I hope it doesn't get cancelled I've wanted a game like that for over a decade

So in other words, the game is easy to mod, and has the potential to be made better by modders because the source code is out? Nintendo online features can also be removed to make the game fully single player without an internet connection required? There's potential to host custom servers for the game too? Wow.

I do wonder how much this hacking and leaking is in response to GF/Big N’s legal bullying

Cool, hopefully we get a repeat of PS3 hack, which was only hacked, because Sony removed Linux, and pissed off a bunch of people.

Damn, Game Freak did Legends 3 before Capcom did

Expect it to be banned on Steam Deck. Those guys hate the number 3. The heretic number.

Cannot wait for someone to analyze it and tell us how ass the Pokémon code is.

 

[Phearoz]

Did the leak include anything about Gamefreak's new and, imo, very interesting IP: Beast of Reincarnation?

Don't need anyone to analyze it to tell you that which we all already know to be the case.

Nope. Nobody actually cares what Game Freak makes unless it's Pokemon.

That's your cue to stop pretending to care about something by Game Freak that's not Pokemon.

Legends 3

Not Capcom

Tomorrow: Nintendo sues Discord mod for 10 million over leaking Pokémon Z-A

 

[Exnor]

So no new Mario yet?

 

[KanaKonpaku]

I always find leaks like these more interesting for the ability to see the development process, more than anything. Source code is certainly cool; I don't even intend to buy Z-A at this point, and won't until it's been out for a while... Can't trust GameFreak to put out a finished game nowadays.

None. This is a continuation of what was obtained last year. The hack was not done to send any message. It was just GFO having the opportunity to get into gamefreak and making the most of it.

Gamefreak ar least since the Switch generation has been making it so I don't care about Pokemon Anymore.

Legends Arceus was good, A-Z is garbage, very expensive garbage.

Even if the game was only for Switch 2 and so it would look and run better, Holy Shit they are charging for DLC the same price as some new games and you need to pay to play online besides that.

Then again Gamefreak charged 50 bucks for Mew, so honesty I will stick to playing the old games.

>Pokémon Winds & Waves
It's not the motion of the waves but the force of the winds. Amirait fellas or amirait?

Project Seed now confirmed CANCELLED due to leak.

Project Seed now confirmed CANCELLED due to leak.

This would be a great opportunity for them to listen to people picking through the leaks. They could make the best game ever with our feedback.

But wait no this is GF sorry nvm, time for more slop games.
