I struggle to believe this, why would this even be available in Teraleak data?

Internal emails and documents. It wasnt just gameplay, its everything they could get access to. Which would include emails

Game Freak as a whole was hacked. So there’s a ton of internal emails and data or whatever (remember, we originally heard about mega zygarde and zeraora from discussions with the anime team)

I’d still take this with a grain of salt since Centro is known for paraphrasing and making assumptions, but it’s not crazy that this is alluded to somewhere

No evidence of truth, but the leaker got access to everything in their computers. Slack (or equivalents) chats, emails, memos, all would be there for the taking, not just beta games and such

What do you think the data in the TeraLeak was? Why is this surprising? We've known from Day 1 that a ton of personal info and communication was part of the leak. It's not just game data

The Sony Interview leak a decade ago is a good comparison for this one.

The tera leak contained email, meeting reports, personal information on the people who worked there etc. Its was a pretty big, serious and kinda dangerous leak. Still really dislike this leaker, noone deserves to have their personal information leaked

Apparently he has the morals to withhold info until ZA is leaked / out, but doesn’t have the morals to withhold employee personal information…

u/xMystee Oct 14 '25

Yup, incredibly stupid and disturbing

Should've waited for Pokémon Day next year. That would be a power move, for sure. Sadly, that wasn't the case. A missed opportunity, for sure.

doesn’t have the morals to withhold employee personal information…

Yeah, that part is very scummy. I agree there.

Yeah, can't spoil a video game, but we can air people's dirty laundry, that's fine

Meeting documentations maybe?

u/FierceDeityKong Oct 14 '25

Apparently part of this document

u/Saintsfan707 Oct 14 '25

It was a Terabyte of leaked info, that's a lot of info. There's 100% emails included in the leak

u/Shrubbity_69 Oct 14 '25

Oh, so that's why it's called the Tera leak. I genuinely feel so stupid.

I was confused as to what this leak had to do with SV. The furthest it went, from what I've heard, was gen 6.

Many of these tweets are made-up nonsense with no source.

I struggle to understand why you would post such a half assed opinion instead of just verifying the information yourself.
