Overview

• Nintendo filed a subpoena on April 18, 2025, in the Northern District of California to compel Discord to reveal the identity of user 'GameFreakOUT.'
• The 'Teraleak,' one of the largest leaks in Pokémon history, included unreleased game builds, concept art, lore documents, and references to future projects.
• The leaker allegedly uploaded the materials to a Discord server named 'FreakLeak,' from which the content spread widely online.
• Game Freak initially acknowledged a hack in October 2024, stating it affected employee data but did not disclose the theft of game-related information.
• Discord has not yet publicly responded to the subpoena, and Nintendo’s legal action could lead to a lawsuit against the leaker if the platform complies.
