i am livid about it. The hacker took personal info from employees which is horrible and puts them at risk. What is worse that fans actually think the company deserved it when they don't. This paints a bad image for the pokemon community and fans. This is why pokemon leak culture is just awful in my opinion.
I don't usually leave comments on youtube videos in general, but honestly you make a great point about how this is overall a bad thing. I didn’t realize it was a bad thing until I saw someone point out that employees at game freak had their personal information leaked while looking at the comments of a post about why the hacker said they were keeping legends za stuff to themself (to be honest, I feel like its just so they don’t get into even worse trouble than they already probably are). Up until that point I had just naively thought that it was neat being able to see some stuff from earlier builds of games that got scrapped, among other things. However, after I saw that comment it hit me that there was a cost for being able to see some of the unused stuff.
The thing is, it is neat to be able to see how the past became what it was, but it isn't worth it. I'd love to have known through this through a different way and even if it was a leak, it could've been one where the hacker didn't take personal information. This while thing is basically a mess.
Agreed, it would have been nice (and better) to see concept stuff through a different way. I just hope that those game freak employees stay safe. Edit: Wording
Also sorry if I worded things poorly (I was tired when writing the original comment). My point is that I agree with your overall point, it's just that I didn't realize it until after I learned the price of all this info (a price that isn't worth it).
Oh, no worries! I probably sounded a bit harsh as well since it's a topic that is bound to have you repeat the same over and over. It's all good either way! 😁
Thank you! But I'm not really going for information here - it's more of an opinion. It's gonna get crazier in the next few days/weeks/months. Be ready!
That's really true. I feel like for Game Freak it'll barely mean anything. They'll just ignore it till it all calms downs and practically everything will return to how it was before. As for lore, yeah, it kinda sucks but we still have games in a future that will feature a new lore, so there will always ne something to speculate about.
I think the worst part is dealing with the amount of likely spoilers as things will inevitably be leaked. Cleaning up the comments will not be fun at all!
@@notsoAceTrainer Oh, man, absolutely. The internet is already a minefield for me as a huge Pokemon Horizons fan. The day Legends Z-A is finally being fully leaked (I'm sure it IS going to happen), it'll be just easier to isolate ourselves from the internet. On the bright side, all of us can finally touch some grass... Hooraaay??..
Yeah, I was spoiled on what the ZA starters were by just opening youtube and seeing the thumbnail of a video displaying them and saying " These are the ZA starters!" I was like " seriously..."
Think of it like this. Even if the starters were leaked. We still do know totally what they will become. Either mega, new variant, or whatever else. There is still mystery to be found.
I believe what others are saying in the comments is true. It was someone trying to get clout. Or a speculation/theory video! But things will not be like that forever...
Hi Ace, We talked about these leaks on DM so you already know what I think about all that... Thank you for this video. This lore/theory content on your channel is what made me bet on it in the first place (that and the pokemon news video you made... even though there was only 3 of them back to the Ace beginnings) I wonder if those huge leaks would have happened if Game Freak released a bit more info via trailers or teasers thememselves more regularly... We will never know... Cheers to your honesty here 🫡 P.S: I would have loved to know about PLZA starters though... 😅
Hey! No need to thank me or praise the honesty! I needed to get the frustration out somehow, and I can't do that by not saying it like I feel it! And I think it would have happened anyway. The breach happening in August and only coming out in October has all the works of a denied ransom. The hacker probably asked for money, waited, Gamefreak didn't pay and they starting throwing stuff out. Stay on the bright side! No starters until the trailer! 😅
Hacking the personal information is the sin here, I wouldn't have made this video if it was just beta designs and builds. Blessed be your comment either way 🤣
I'm happy you were honest and direct, hacking GF like that was awfull, i do hope that they will take the future more serious now though. Something had to happen, but not like this.
I don't understand why you think something had to happen, though. I see no issue with how they conducted themselves future-wise. They announced that they were releasing a game in 2025. Yes, I would like news, but I'm not entitled to news - there's not even pre-orders yet. I think that the Pokémon community got too used to having something all the time, while so many franchises have this happen regularly. A game is announced and sometimes you have to wait a long time to know more. But if it is something different, please explain it to me 😅
@@notsoAceTrainer something in the sense that they need to hire more employees so they have more security aswell as not overworking their game developers. Orginisation wise somethinf had to happen
Got it! I still disagree, though. I don't think this had anything to do with either of those things. An employee clicked on something they shouldn't without knowing. It had nothing to do with their game developers being overworked or their security. In fact, there's no information about their developers being overworked at all. This is something that has happened many times to many different companies, the worst here is how so much personal stuff is out - and how the community seems to not care at all.
They certainly need more training on phishing scams and suspicious links. They are serious hazards that the authorities warn about for very good reason.
I really appreciate this video! With all the leak videos floating around, I was starting to get the impression that many people just don't care about the criminal way in which all this information was leaked. I sincerely hope that the employees whose personal information was leaked will be alright 😔 I'm avoiding the leaks as long as it's in my power to do so, but I've already seen some spoilers from thumbnails. I'm going to assume that all those things can still change during game development, but still 😓
Glad you did! I felt like there was too much "turning a blind eye" to the actual situation for personal gain among creators. As for spoilers, yeah, it's better to believe that things will change but it's gonna be a long 2 years if the 2 games get out!
I believe this is also a social problem with the fomo and always wanting to know what comes next, this is bad for GF, I just hope they can bounce back from this one and find the people responsible for this.
It's 100% also a social problem, yeah. I think Gamefreak will be fine like I said and yeah, they'll 100% find them like usual and then the fine will be heavy for sure!
Don't be disheartened mate. Theories have never been about what is canon to the devs. It's about what's canon in the heads of players. Additionally whatever was cannon pre gen 3 is not the moment gen 4 hits, same for every gen that follows. What's canon is what's presented on the screen and what's open to speculation and theory is all the space in between. That fun will always be there to be had.
I appreciated you for saying that, I really do! And I agree with it! In fact, as I was feeling demotivated, it was your polls a few days ago on X that made me "get back up" again and write another script. However, I can't help but to feel that the next 2 years, in case the games get out, are going to be very frustrating to deal with in terms of the comment section, or even wanting to speculate about the next game after the reveal trailer since the answers would be out already. But I'll keep going. I quite like this content creating thing! Again, really appreciate you!
Why would they change? I mean, sure they could change as anything leaked wouldn't be a final build, but the overall thing will be virtually the same. We saw that with how Sword and Shield leaked ahead of its release.
@@notsoAceTrainer Someone has the souce code, which in the past made companies cancel their games. Pokemon is very big so no they won’t cancel the game, but delays to make changes to already known information could definitely happen. They haven’t shown any Legends ZA gameplay for a reason. That hacker can release the build any moment now and its a huge risk.
A leak could've happened without the personal information involved. The fact that this came out 2 months after the actual hack shows possible malice from the hacker (likely a denied ransom for the information). Giving positive attention to what's happening will end up with a huge mess as things are bound to come out. No beta design or build is worth that.
And I agree with that! I think reusing ideas likely already got us a bunch of cool Pokémon through the years! Imagine if they had made them Paradox Pokémon, that would've been pretty cool!
Honestly I do not pay attention to leaks at all I have heard of these leaks about ZA and Gen 10 but I do not take this seriously and if these leaks are true I find these leaks disrespectful to the developers and the franchise as a whole which is why I completely ignore the leaks and only take Gamefreak's word into consideration because it's *THEIR* franchise not *OUR* franchise we are just the community we have no say so in the direction of the franchise but I suppose that's just my opinion though and if the person reading this disagrees than just say you disagree in the reply section below and don't try to pull me to your side i have had enough people already doing that and It's annoying and to clarify this is a broad blanket for those who disagree with me I'm not talking about anyone in particular
Sadly, I can't escape them if I want to continue making videos, but I agree with you. The worst is how some people like to go with the "they deserve it" mentality, just because they didn't have news for a long time. It's crazy and childish.
@@notsoAceTrainerWhat? People say they deserve it because the technical and graphical quality of their past games was poor, as well as numerous bans on fan art and the vile trial of Palworld.
I have heard that and what I said. But even then, the devs deserve to have their personal information out because of the legal side of the company they work for plus their work on the games through the 3 year development? Even those who are retired and likely worked on the games that people praise as the best ones? That's exactly the same stupid mindset I was talking about, just with a different path to it.
@@notsoAceTrainer So they don't want the game developers to suffer any damage, they just enjoy the fact that a multi-million dollar company has suffered significant damage due to such poor treatment of their competitors and fans. If it was just news that game developer data was leaked online without other leaks related to games, no one would laugh at it.
@hungry_rabbit9032 the company hasn't suffered anything. Do you remember the 2018 leaks that went all the way to 2020? The Gigaleak as they called it that affected not only gamefreak but also Nintendo? They were fine and are still fine. Nothing happened to their revenue. But your words show the childish way the community sees this. "Big company bad so it doesn't matter!" It's not the company that will suffer if something goes wrong. It's the people that make virtually no decisions. Thank you for giving everyone an example of what I talked about in the video, though:)
Worse case scenario...everything including legends za. Will be scrapped and we will wait another 3,000 years for a game. I feel bad for employees, their lives may be ruined just because someone was starving for game content. 😢
Considering they got in August 2024, I think it might have been a ransom gone wrong. They asked for money, Gamefreak didn't pay, so they started leaking 2 months later...
