Pokemon developerGame Freak has suffered an enormous leak, leading to a massive amount of supposed information about both old and upcoming Pokemon games surfacing online, and it’s now claimed that the source codes of Legends: Z-Aandthe unannounced 10th generation games are out in the wild.
Source code holds the very essence of how a game runs – there’s a reason most developers don’t release their games' source codes publicly. In this case, for it to be allegedly out there for a game we haven’t seen any gameplay footage of,andfor a concept that’s not even been announced, would be considered catastrophic.
It’s worth keeping in mind that with this surge of leaks, there’s bound to be plenty of fake leaks and claims, too. At the time of writing, there doesn’t appear to be any hard evidence of the source codes being out there, although there arewhispers that the person who supposedly got hold of themis purposely withholding spoilers until the games' respective releases.
