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.

      Lol maybe, but the lore about the creation of the universe does seem legit

      It's basically canon-friendly with Gen 4 lore. But humans and Pokemon getting it on is a bit less weird with the varying levels of sapience on various mons. I'm not doing a Harkness test though and I know some Pokemon like Basculin are canonically used as food since they're mentally just aggressive goldfish.

      (And I know, not the best site to discuss in terms of various taboos on intelligence versus acceptability to eat.)
