Nintendo is subpoenaing Discord in a California court for the identity of the user behind the Pokemon "Teraleak"


Nintendo wants Discord to give up GameFreakOUT’s identity

The purpose of the subpoena is “to obtain the identity of the Discord user ‘GameFreakOUT,’ who posted infringing content,” wrote James D. Berkley, an attorney for Nintendo. The Pokémon leaks were published around Oct. 12, 2024, but Game Freak announced in a statement on Oct. 10, before the information was released, that it had been hacked. Given the materials that the leaker said they obtained — like an early version of the upcoming Legends: Z-A game — Nintendo would surely appreciate having the court’s backing to prevent that data from leaking.
