Randoman Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 So I was really surprised that there's no threads on the Pokemon Arceus leaks, and all the juicy new info that was revealed. I was wondering if it's just because I was the first one to get around to making the thread, or if we're avoiding talking about it to not get in trouble with Game Freak/Nintendo. Can anyone answer this question for me? As much as I want to talk about specifics on the new info, I'll refrain for now until I get a definitive answer on if it's okay or not.

FlyingKitsune Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 To be honest, I knew all about the leaks but didn't feel like making a topic. I didn't really think about getting in trouble with Nintendo tbh, but it should be fine. Gamefaqs and Reddit seems to be discussing it just fine.

Shanty Pete's 1st Mate Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Per the forum guidelines: Quote Forbidden Content Requesting or giving links to ROMs and other illegal warez is strictly forbidden. The punishment for doing this is banishment. This includes PMs, as well as threads. Do not make topics about inappropriate content such as nude images, pornography, gore, etc. This will most definitely result in a ban. Also, please try to keep discussions PG-13. Cursing is allowed, sparingly. However, please take care not to curse in topic titles, do it excessively or otherwise abuse the privilege. Threads created for the purpose of trolling or harassing someone or a group of people (members of these forums or otherwise) by calling them out in a public thread are disallowed. Threads created for the purpose of discussing banned members or lobbying for their return are disallowed. Absolutely no plagiarism allowed. No unauthorized hotlinking. Notice that discussing leaks isn't included here, so it should be fine. @eclipse, could you please provide confirmation on this? It's usually good etiquette to spoiler-tag leaks, but a thread explicitly dedicated to them would probably be an exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair General Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Well, someone leaked most of the plot of 3H on 4chan and nobody got in trouble for talking about it, here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interdimensional Observer Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Leaks are totally fine I would say. It's not our fault video game details got accidentally revealed. It's not like we're talking about a country's governmental cybersecurity infrastructure's inner workings, where it compromises something actually important. I and others have already chatted about the leaked Hisuian forms in a certain FFtF topic. And, I'm pretty sure all the reputable gaming news websites are going to be posting links to the leaks in their headlines too.

vanguard333 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I can't speak for anyone else, but as for me, I try to avoid leaks; that's the main reason I didn't make a thread about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punished Dayni Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Oh, right. The leak. The leak for Pokemon, the leak chosen especially from Legends Arceus, Pokemon's leak. That leak? Because some of us might be trying to avoid leaks I'll put my brief thoughts in the comments. Spoiler I am not as harsh about most of the new mons (barring the fusions, which on reflection I never really talked about the USUM fusions but Dusk Mane actually looks pretty good and even Dawn Wings was decent. I may have given USUM a ton of crap), even some I actually like, but it's a pretty hit or miss situation for a game that's been in development over the last two years and focused on for most of that. People playing it have been more positive about the gameplay, but graphically speaking this one might top most of the Switch library in terms of issues. There's plenty out there, but I am not sure if I will get asked to withdraw any evidence I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciphertul Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I'm not interested in the leaks but I gotta say.... the new forms look awful to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, so what if I learned what you're getting your friend as a birthday present and ruined the surprise by telling them about it? Would you appreciate that? Especially if it was something you put months if not years of work into? Pokemon is still Nintendo and Game Freak's intellectual property and thus they have the right to control the rate at which content about it is revealed. It doesn't take something as serious as national cybersecurity to expect a basic level of decency, including respecting a content creator's wishes to reveal their content at the time and in the manner they choose. Leaks like this are disrespectful to the people who worked hard to create the content and planned to reveal it on their own terms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaks like this are disrespectful to the people who worked hard to create the content and planned to reveal it on their own terms. It's only about a week before official release when it occurred. I'm not saying it should've leaked, but eh, this happens from time to time, don't cry over spilled milk, it isn't the worse possible thing that could happen to a video game and its developers. I very much doubt this would actually affect sales, as I would assume that of the millions of Pokemon fans who exist, only a minority takes notice of leaks at all. -Although, I do disapprove of any related piracy of new and "living" games, that is theft.

eclipse Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Sorry I'm late! Leaks are generally not forbidden, however, leaked stuff should be in spoiler tags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
