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.

The funniest result of this would be if scarlet/violet is part of the leak and an enterprising group of coders fixed up the code to not be such a buggy, low-res mess.

Truly the modern, non-authorized version of Satoru Iwata fixing up Gen 2's code so well, they could fit the entire Kanto region in the game.

Fucking please I’d love to play a version of that game that worked

Idk about Scarlet/Violet but I love reading through the sections of the Pokémon Crystal decompilation project where they show the code that causes certain bugs and how to patch them
