Game Freak, the studio that handles the mainline Pokemon games, has now issued a statement about the company’s leak / hack.
Yesterday, tons of information about Pokemon started pouring out, revealing details about certain plans, beta creature designs, and more. That has since continued today with details concerning movie and movie projects.
Game Freak has now come forward acknowledging the leak with an official statement. The company says that last month, a third party gained unauthorized access to a server. Unfortunately, personal employee data is a part of the leak – Game Freak says names and email addresses were on that server.

Former Nintendo employees share insight into the Mario Switch teaser photo
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
If you were paying attention to Nintendo news just before Switch was announced, the image above with Mario might look familiar to you. The photo was shared alongside a message on social media telling fans to tune in the following day for a first look at the console. Mario is peeking behind a curtain, and it’s kind of become a meme with some even joking about how it looks like he’s in the shower.
Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang, a pair of former employees at Nintendo of America, shared some behind-the-scenes information about the shot in a recent podcast episode. They confirmed that it was a new photo led by the company’s former head of social, and a photoshoot was done in large part because there weren’t any assets that could be used. Internally, it was “controversial” and Nintendo apparently wasn’t happy due to concerns about potentially mismanaging expectations.
Pokemon developer Game Freak hit with hack, internal info leaking
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Game Freak, the main developer of Pokemon, appears to have been hit with a significant hack. As a result, source code for various games, behind-the-scenes information, and more has started to leak online.
Thus far we know that source code for Pokemon Heart Gold / Soul Silver and Black 2 / White 2 have surfaced. A few codenames are also popping up, including “Gaia” – which is apparently what Gen 10 is going by internally. Speaking of which, the new gen is apparently being developed for “Ounce”, which supposedly confirms Switch 2’s codename. And for those curious, “Ikkaku” is the codename for Pokemon Legends: Z-A.
