The Japanese language statement carries a date of October 10, 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">In the statement, Game Freak apologized to all those affected by the data breach and insisted the vulnerability at the heart of the hack was since rebuilt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>ORIGINAL STORY:<\/strong> Pok\u00e9mon developer Game Freak has reportedly suffered a significant hack resulting in the leak of stolen data that includes codenames for 10th generation Pok\u00e9mon games and even the Nintendo Switch 2.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2024\/10\/pokemon-developer-game-freak-reportedly-hacked-massive-amounts-of-data-allegedly-leaked\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nintendo Life<\/a>, data leaked includes the codename of Nintendo\u2019s next-gen console (reportedly \u201cOunce\u201d), the codename of the unannounced 10th generation Pok\u00e9mon game (reportedly \u201cGaia\u201d), and the codename of the announced <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/pokemon-legends-z-a\">Pokemon Legends: Z-A<\/a> (\u201cIkkaku\u201d).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Neither Nintendo nor The Pok\u00e9mon Company have issued a statement on the leaks. IGN has asked both for a comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The codenames for two versions of the 10th generation Pok\u00e9mon game are part of the leak (\u201cK\u201d and \u201cN\u201d), which may relate to Nintendo\u2019s intention to release it for both the Switch and its successor as a cross-gen title. According to Nintendo Life, &#8220;Ounce&#8221; is mentioned as the target platform.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">A Pok\u00e9mon game codenamed \u201cSynapse\u201d is also reportedly mentioned.
