The company wants the name of the Pokémon filter and goes with all its legal arsenal

On the video game industry board, few pieces move as forceful as those of Nintendo when it comes to protecting what you consider. This time, the Japanese firm responsible for icons such as Mario, Zelda and Pikachu has launched a legal operation of surgical precision. Its objective is not a competitor, but an anonymous discord, indicated for having leaked Pokémon confidential content last summer.

The episode of “Teraleak”. Baptized by the community as “Teraleak”, the incident meant one of the greatest content leaks in the saga in recent years. We do not talk only about loose data or minor details: among the filtered files there were preliminary versions of titles in developing and unpublished conceptual art, all related to the Pokémon franchise. An extremely sensitive material that, once outside, spread as a gunpowder in an environment where virality is the norm.

The Nintendo Judicial Movement. According to documents published by Polygon, on April 18, Nintendo submitted a citation request before the Federal Court of the Northern District of California. In it, he requires Discord to provide the user’s personal data identified as “Gamefreakout”: full name, physical address, telephone number and email address. The legal documentation also includes a capture of the “Freakleak” server, where that user shared the file in question.

According to the company, after that initial publication there was a rapid diffusion of the content, although Discord received multiple DMCA applications for withdrawal. The damage was already done.

A known strategy, a clear message. It is not the first time that Nintendo resorts to the courts to defend their intellectual property. In recent years he has managed to close portals such as Romuniverse and Loveroms or Loveretro; And, in 2024, it reached an extrajudicial agreement of 2.4 million dollars that forced the developers of Emulators Yuzu and Citra to cease their activity. Github also withdrew 8 535 forks related to Yuzu. Each of those movements has left a trail: immediate closures, millionaire compensation and a warning that now resonates with renewed force. Filtering Nintendo material is not just risky: it is legally dangerous.

Game Freak, the true target of the attack. Paradoxically, the gap did not open in Nintendo systems, but in those of Game Freak, the Japanese study responsible for the development of Pokémon games. As recognized in a statement, the filtration was the result of unauthorized access that left more than 2,600 personal records exposed. Game Freak claims to have rebuilt the affected and reinforced server its security measures, although the episode showed the fragility of certain infrastructure in the middle of 2024.

The immediate future: And now what? The next play depends on the court. If he grants the citation and discord cooperates, Nintendo will be in a position to act with names and surnames. From there, the legal path could include different types of demands, although there is still no concrete information about the steps to follow by the company. For the user after “Gamefreakout”, anonymity could have the days counted.

The US tariffs have not yet entered into force, but there is already a console that has risen in <a href=Price: PlayStation 5″ width=”375″ height=”142″ src=”https://i.blogs.es/dfec2a/1366_2000/375_142.jpeg”/>

An industry on alert. What is at stake is not only an identity, but a precedent. Nintendo, with its relentless history, re -marks the path that other giants in the sector could follow. At a time when leaks are gestated and spread on community servers and social networks, the question is not whether it will happen again, but how those who have something to lose will answer.
