Nintendo/TPC I think you have bigger problems at hand than trying to delete some video game history archive!(Images from the hacker). They have access to the company's github page.

It's their GitLab, a place where almost every single code for every project handled by GF or it's partners can be found From the images, even the battle logic as well the potential schedule can be grabbed by this hacker (and exposed)



An incomplete version of Pokémon Legends Arceus source code has been posted online.

Theres also alot of info regarding beta stuff from other games and things that didn't go to the final build.

I think the most ridiculously funny thing about all this is that the leak documents shows that sole purpose of LA was to appease the west, because they have info saying that west pretty much hates JRPGs.

Never buying another Pokemon again.
I've defected to Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail. Palworld is kinda fun, sorta.
On my phone. None of that waiting for Switch 2 nonsense.
 
Going by the level of ambition their last entries in the franchise had, I guess it's a collection of if else conditional statements coupled with some quick on the fly asset includes?

I never thought Nintendo sued people due to their bottom line being hurt. I always thought they did it strictly for the principle.

I mean, is the github pirate emulation audience the same people who pay full price for Princess Peach day 1 if they can't emulate it?

Nintendo believes in the simple concept of, "If you don't use it you lose it." They believe if they see copyright infringement and don't act on it, they may not be able to act on it in the future. If they permit someone to use the characters without permissions by simply not acting, then the next person who did it and got sued would used the previous incident against them in court.

If you owned a logo, say the one for neogaf, and then allowed everyone to use it all the time, then decided to sue this one guy who was using it in a way you didn't like, what would that guys defense be in court?

Very weird considering that Pokémon is pretty much the only mega popular JRPG series in the West.

They'll find a way to sue somebody. They'll probably sue gitlab or whatever its called.
GitLab obviously

Those guys using a free publicly available Internet repository for their internal development code is very on brand for them though. They are well known for their technical incompetence

This is not on GitLab.

GitLab is one of - realistically - 3 git platforms used in enterprise software development. 1 is being kept alive by Atlassian, 1 by Microsoft, and the other is GitLab.

All 3 are available for free for personal use, and they all have pro/enterprise plans. I can pretty much guarantee every developer out there is using one of those 3, and none of them are using the free version.

Someone hacked The Pokemon Company, Game Freak or Nintendo. If GitLab had been hacked, it would be much bigger news than Pokemon.

I predict we hear that the shit performance in every single 3D Pokemon game was because of a couple of easily fixable lines of code and it turns out they should have been running at 4k60fps instead of the 60p4fps we get

Searched for it but didn't reach the usual channels yet.

Yep, they must have gotten access via the previous leak. There's a reason why our HIPAA officer tells us never to send username and password via the same media at the same time, send username via Skype and password at a later day via email, or tell someone orally the password and send the username via email, etc.
