Terabytes of the same game, just in different colors.

Next headline "Hackers disappointed that the hacked source code is apparently just the same as the last 16 games"

In my head this is a retribution for financing hackers that attacked Internet Archive and nobody can convince me otherwise

Patent the code and sue Nintendo when they release the game.

Good. Couldn't have happened to a worse company other than Nintendo.

Now people can verify if Gamefreak's excuses for not including all Pokemon in each game since the Switch games are real. And verify how low effort their games are.

Somebody had to find out whether there really was a Mew under the truck in Red and Blue after all.

Pokemon could be made in RPG maker in like 5 minutes.

I mean, people have already created the majority of their good games from scratch so...

Love how everyone in the comments are shitting on Nintendo and Game Freak lmao

I'm waiting in for the headline in a couple days or so:

Another hack at Gamefreak: Hackers upload fixed source codes

Unknown hackers have fixed the frame rate issues while upgrading the graphics quality to the level of the earliest Switch titles like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Don't nobody want that trash codebase.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

You get what you fucking deserve, Nintendo.

Noooo what a tragedy!

Good. Fuck them. Steal everything of value from them.

Can I already get my hopes up for some PC ports?

Also design documents like the dude that mated with an octillery lol. The concept of people and pokemon breeding was still referenced in sinoh, but in a way tamer way.

The people who will be most happy to have it would be the wiimmfi team and the devs running pokemon classic network.

They can finally see what the implementation of gen 5 ranked battles and game sync was, instead of having to reverse engineer it all.

Everyone else is probably only interested in asset data, Nintendo switch 2, or finding exploits for homebrew lol.

Oh no!

Anyways, is that new Palworld island any good

Ive no interest but hopefully there are torrents soon for those who are interested.

Time to clone mewtwo

This is, reportedly, a comment under, reportedly, a post

I've been holding onto a pet conspiracy theory that BW2 was a last-minute change from Gray, loose ends and plot holes felt too rushed. Curious if the leaked source code will corroborate this.

lets go, hope now we get to play these pokemon games on PC

Fuck yeah, going to compile me some free Pokémon!

Now that's really interesting! I wonder where I can go to see this stuff...

Nintendo deserves only the worst for killing yuzu and ryujinx

source codes

Is there a remind me bot like reddit?

I am seeing a lot of negative comments on here and while I agree the franchise has grown stale I can also say the personal emails of employees being leaked is shit and shouldn't happen. Nintendo had to have their day and it came and here we are but it sucks employees are at the butt of the leak.

Also as a fan I welcome competition and games like PalWorld but the classic Pokemon games hold true to my heart and some of these leaks are really dn cool while others set a concerning precedent for what data companies leave laying around and for how long.

For those of you that are interested there are some really interesting things to come out of this for fans.

Source code to games sucks in one manner but gives modders and ROM hackers the opportunity to do many things. It is tools like this Nintendo should have just embraced providing or should allow the community to have community versions to do what they want with it after 25+ years. Maybe it would he less intriguing if those tools were open sourced and the may hidden items were just openly shared. There would be less incentive to steal if they innovated on tools or left old ones to the past to be what they are. However, likewise, legally it is their IP to do with what they want.

Source code is one but straight up editing tools for how they created e-card code for e-card readers. 3DS Dev Kits and Pokemon Beta games sets a whole other wheel in motion and gives players real power to do what will absolutely hurt Nintendo's bottom line and that is develop. That has to be a real wake up call to Nintendo.

Seeing leaks about the anime, movies, and future games is a bummer to me and I don't want any part of that. I would rather those stay a mystery so I can be ready to play them and even if you don't like Pokemon or Nintendo that is fine some of us hate Nintendo and like Pokemon because it was there for us as a child when your parents are going through a divorce. (TMI I know) point there is stuff adult me loves seeing because kid me would never have thought some of this would shed so much light on Nintendo's development and scrapped ideas and processes. While Nintendo should and very much will take action on their IP. I really think if they want to learn from this they will tackle damages on upcoming films, shows, and games. Instead of being embarrassed by old stuff they should just say, "fuck it" and embrace the community doing with it what they want. We are talking about 20 year old data in some cases and tools most people have already debugged, replicated, and deciphered.

Good.

let the modding begin

HA HA

Maximum Poggers.

O boi
