Pok\u00e9mon developer Game Freak confirmed it was hacked in August<\/a> in a major breach that exposed more than 2,600 employees\u2019 personal information and decades\u2019 worth of Pok\u00e9mon documents, source code, and other files. The stolen data has been uploaded to the internet during the past week as public knowledge of the scope of the leak continues to grow.<\/p>\n

As files are being uploaded to the internet and distributed on forums and Discord, Pok\u00e9mon fans continue to dig through the information to find new, exciting details. These files consist of evidence of scrapped projects \u2014 like a reported WarioWare<\/em>-esque mobile game \u2014 and source code for in-progress builds of Pok\u00e9mon X<\/em>, Pok\u00e9mon Y<\/em>, and Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Arceus<\/em>, which people have already used to get those builds running.<\/p>\n

Beyond Game Freak\u2019s statement about the breach, Game Freak, The Pok\u00e9mon Company, and Nintendo have remained quiet. The material impact of the leaked data isn\u2019t immediately clear, but the cultural implications are widespread; once it\u2019s out there, it can\u2019t be put back in the bag, despite a company\u2019s efforts to take down stolen information<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Confused? We\u2019ll answer your questions.<\/p>\n

What happened?<\/h2>\n

On Oct. 12, unreleased Pok\u00e9mon content started to appear on social media, Discord, and forums, spread on Discord by an anonymous hacker who said they breached Game Freak\u2019s internal systems. Following the leaked information spreading online, people noticed that Game Freak published a statement days earlier confirming that it had been hacked in August. Game Freak said more than 2,600 employees\u2019 information was stolen, but did not state whether game data had been taken.<\/p>\n

On Oct. 22, an anonymous X account called Centro Leaks<\/a> shared a screenshot of a GitLab admin account, suggesting the hacked data from the August breach came from there. GitLab is a code repository used by individuals and companies to store large amounts of data. It appears that this is where Game Freak hosted tons of documents related to the Pok\u00e9mon franchise, and likely where the 1 TB of leaked data came from.<\/p>\n

What was uploaded?<\/h2>\n

The anonymous hacker claimed on a private Discord server they have a playable version of the upcoming, unreleased title Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A<\/em>. However, most of the information released so far has been related to already released projects, be them games or anime. <\/p>\n

None of this information was meant to be public, though, like scrapped Pok\u00e9mon and non-canon lore. The nature of the leak\u2019s contents makes it a slightly different situation than the leaks that affected Wolverine<\/em> or Grand Theft Auto 6<\/em>, two unreleased and highly anticipated games that have been targeted by hackers in recent years.<\/p>\n

Still, Pokemon fans are clamoring for any shred of information, digging into beta builds of older games to uncover interesting or unknown details. In Discord servers and elsewhere, Pok\u00e9mon fans are getting early builds of Pok\u00e9mon games up and running on emulators and poring over the gameplay to look for changed or cut content.<\/p>\n

The hacker published decades\u2019 worth of content<\/a> from multiple generations of Pok\u00e9mon and its anime counterparts. This includes scrapped Pok\u00e9mon, concept art, beta builds, and Pok\u00e9mon sprites. Several unannounced and potentially canceled projects were part of the leaked data, too, including a game that was purportedly about riding Pok\u00e9mon and another that looked like it was inspired by WarioWare<\/em><\/a>. There were a few details about the next generation of Pok\u00e9mon games, but not much \u2014 again, the hacker said they wouldn\u2019t release that information.<\/p>\n

Alongside all of this was a trove of documents with non-canon lore and Pok\u00e9mon stories written by Game Freak staff, one of which went viral<\/a> for a mistranslation<\/a>: For a while, some fans thought Game Freak wrote a disturbing story about fire-type Pok\u00e9mon Typhlosion kidnapping a girl and having a child with her.<\/p>\n

Can I look at it?<\/h2>\n

The ethics of consuming information<\/a> that was stolen from a company \u2014 stuff that was never intended to be released \u2014 are complicated. Though Game Freak reported that employee information was stolen, it seemingly hasn\u2019t been spread online. That fact is what\u2019s muddying the waters for people looking at the stolen information and art: The personal data is a clear line to not step over<\/a>, whereas leaked content about decades-old games might feel less questionable. <\/p>\n

In an industry that\u2019s as notoriously secretive as the video game industry, it\u2019s understandable why fans would be eager for a peek behind the curtain. However obtained, it is<\/em> a notable and rare look into game development and canned projects. A look into a major corporation\u2019s process is enticing, and something that lots of people could learn from and appreciate. (The Pok\u00e9mon modding community, in particular, is particularly interested in looking under the hood.) But at the end of the day, it\u2019s stolen stuff. Even the concept art or unfinished art, as inconsequential as it may seem to players, was illegally acquired and never meant to be shared publicly, which makes the ethics of not<\/em> consuming this information<\/a> clearer for some people.<\/p>\n

The answer of whether or not it\u2019s OK to look at the leaks is a personal choice \u2014 so I can\u2019t answer that for you!<\/p>\n

What will happen to the hacker?<\/h2>\n

Though the hacker is anonymous, it\u2019s likely Nintendo and The Pok\u00e9mon Company are already looking into their identity. The company has been known to litigate leaks, even ones that were less consequential than this one. <\/p>\n

We can look to a Pok\u00e9mon Sword<\/em> and Pok\u00e9mon Shield<\/em> leak for an example: The Pok\u00e9mon Company sued and settled a lawsuit against two people who took photos of an unreleased Sword <\/em>and Shield<\/em> guidebook and posted them to Discord. Those people were ordered to pay $150,000 each. In that case, the information leaked was limited just to information in the guidebook, whereas this hack required illegally breaching private servers, then distributing stolen information. Jail time is possible.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not unprecedented for a hacker to be arrested or receive jail time for that sort of action: When an 18-year-old hacker breached Rockstar Games\u2019 servers in 2022 and leaked stolen Grand Theft Auto 6<\/em> information<\/a>, the hacker was arrested and charged with crimes. In 2023, he was sentenced to indefinite custody at a hospital<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What will Nintendo, Game Freak, and The Pok\u00e9mon Company do?<\/h2>\n

None of these companies have responded to Polygon\u2019s request for comment, but the most likely course of action is that they continue to keep quiet publicly. The companies may continue to try to stem the tide of leaks by issuing Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notices to people sharing the stolen content, or to pursue legal action against the hacker.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been some worry online that The Pok\u00e9mon Company would delay Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A <\/em>as a result of the leak, but that\u2019s historically unlikely, too.<\/p>\n
