Nintendo lawyers want to force Discord to reveal Pokémon Teraleak source


Nintendo wants Discord to reveal the user behind last year's massive Pokémon 'Teraleak'.

Lawyers for the Mario maker have now filed a request to subpoena Discord, where materials from the Teraleak spread in October 2024, for information on the alleged culprit. In its legal request, Nintendo says GameFreakOUT was responsible for posting "confidential materials not released to the public", which were then devoured by Pokémon fans far and wide. Days before the Teraleak spread, the Pokémon developer quietly acknowleged that "unauthorised access" to its servers had been obtained "by a third party" and that employee information was at risk.
