In November last year, Pokémon Sword and Shield suffered numerous leaks ahead of release, including the Pokedex and designs of specific Pokémon. <\/p>\n
The incident was something Nintendo and The Pokémon Company took very seriously, with a joint statement released explaining they have discovered the source of the leaks and will no longer work with the publication in question. <\/p>\n
The publication named is Portugese website FNintendo, with Nintendo and The Pokémon Company clearly wanting to make an example of them ahead of the upcoming expansions<\/a>. <\/p>\n The joint statement reads: “In early November, Nintendo identified a number of photographs taken from game play that revealed multiple new and unannounced Pokémon from Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. These photographs had been posted online and Nintendo, together with The Pokémon Company, quickly identified the person responsible for these leaks, and took immediate action. <\/p>\n
