Nintendo Sues Discord to Unmask Pokémon Data Leaker Behind 'Teraleak'

Nintendo is pursuing legal action against Discord in a California court to identify the individual responsible for the massive Pokémon data breach known as "Teraleak." The leak included source code for the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A (though unreleased), next-generation Pokémon titles, older game builds, and extensive concept art and lore. Nintendo alleges that a Discord user, GameFreakOUT, posted confidential materials to the FreakLeak server, from which the leak spread widely. Despite DMCA takedown attempts, the information persisted online. The lawsuit aims to obtain GameFreakOUT's identifying information to hold them accountable for the breach.
