Game Freak Hacked: Leaked Data Reveals New Pokémon Games

Oct 13, 2024 9:54 AM

Game Freak, the developers behind the Pokémon franchise, have reportedly been hacked, leading to significant leaks regarding future Pokémon games and the next Nintendo console. The leaked information includes codenames for an unannounced 10th generation Pokémon game, referred to as “Gaia,” and the next-gen console coined as “Ounce.” This data also hints at a new Pokémon game dubbed “Synapse,” potentially developed alongside another studio, with speculation about its MMO nature. The leaks have resulted in a resurgence of discussions surrounding past major leaks, particularly the notorious ‘gigaleak’ from 2020, which unveiled a wealth of internal Nintendo information.

As gamers anticipate the upcoming releases, the lack of mainline Pokémon games this year is notable, marking one of the longest gaps in the franchise’s history. The Pokémon community is keenly waiting for the reveals tied to the leaked data.
