After so many have been patient, the wait for Pokemon news may be over and soon. There are potentially huge leaks coming out about Pokemon and their future plans. So far the Pokemon Leaks may contain Gen 10 & Legends ZA news as well as a potential MMO in development. This could be one of the biggest leaks in Pokemon history so make sure to buckle up.
**PLEASE NOTE: THESE ARE NOT CONFIRMED & SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AS SUCH. ALSO TO KEEP NINTENDO FROM BEING MAD WE ARE NOT SHOWING CONTENT AS OF YET JUST THE FILE NAMES THAT ARE POTENTIALLY BEING LEAKED**

We are going to dive into each of the leaks individually and they will be shown with sources below. For now we will link to the sources on Reddit but will take screenshots just in case they are taken down. There is also the chance that these are not real but many in the community are starting to believe they are so keep that in mind as well.
If you want to see a lot of it, Centro Leaks is putting out quite a bit of information.
This was one of the first hintst that it could be happening. It looks like we will be getting HG and SS along with BW and BW2 on virtual console at some point.
Then this one was one of the biggest ones. A potential Pokemon MMO in development. This is the only thing that make it seem as though these leaks could be fake. Mainly due to the fact that players have been hoping for an MMO for years but Pokemon has seemingly been content not trying for one. This is likely because they are hard to maintain and can be complete money-sinks.
Should this one be true, it may dwarf every other announcement Pokemon has made in many, many years.
This one shows why so many in the community are starting to freak out about the possible leak. An entire terabyte of data getting leaked is multiple games and likely a lot more. There is no doubt that whoever leaked this will be in some hot water with Nintendo and The Pokemon Company, both who are notorious for protecting their IPs.
Right now, it looks like the leaks are on 4chan initially and spreading over to Reddit. Again, these could be completely false and while there have been a lot of potential leaks in the last year, many were debunked very quickly. This one just being file sizes with assets so far is what makes it interesting. There are also posts like this.
If different leakers or this person being an archivist are staying away then you have to think this could be the big one.
While we do not know for sure who or how this is getting leaked, it would be safe to assume one of two things. Either Game Freak or The Pokemon Company were hacked. Or, a disgruntled or maybe overly eager employee decided to make a big mistake.
Whichever one it is will be worth watching for but for now, this is our guess as to what is going on.
Ultimately if it is indeed fake then it could mean nothing. If it is not then we are hopefully going to be getting Pokemon news soon. Nintendo and The Pokemon Company will do everything behind closed doors as much as they can to contain this leak. Understandably. But if people are copy files already and are willing to be traced and face lawsuits galore then we may see an early version of some of these games.
We will continue to cover these leaks with articles like this should things be put out on Reddit or elsewhere.
