Game Freak, the main developer of the Pokémon series, suffered a massive information leak after being hacked. Apparently, that’s hundreds of gigabytes of data, from simpler Pokémon games like Black and White to some unnamed titles for the Nintendo Switch.
This “Teraleak” could reach 1 terabyte of data, according to a well-known Nintendo insider “Necro” Felipe report The first leaks were shared late Saturday by Twitter user @3clipse_tt, whose account was later hacked.
Soon, social media and forums were awash with concept art and sprites of unused or otherwise Pokémon designs, character sheets with descriptions used internally by the developer, and slides and documentation. outlining future projects. Even plot references from the Pokémon anime have reportedly been shared.
Even if the authenticity of the leak is almost confirmed, we should still treat it as speculation. These projects seem to confirm that the upcoming Pokemon Legends: ZA is ready and is indeed a Switch game (not Switch 2 as some fans have claimed), while ‘ in which Game Freak is working with ILCA on a multiplayer product (but not an MMO).
In addition, the tenth generation, named Gaia, is expected to be launched in 2026 and will also receive a Switch 1 version. No Switch 2 news or any hints about the new Nintendo console have been found (or perhaps not shared yet), apart from data confirming that the codename of the new console is Ounce, which was already suspected.
Like the Insomniac Games hack a year ago, this is private company information, so we won’t be reporting any more after this.
