 Hey everyone welcome back to Nintendo Prime and look we're going to talk about something today that I find quite interesting because okay sure the big news of the big news we haven't even gotten to November 1st and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have leaked online. Okay that's a thing whatever that's going to happen it happens all the time why they have copies of Pokemon this early is beyond me but you know what it is what it is I guess they wanted to give you know two three weeks for for media outlets and such to do something with it and while leaks usually don't come from the media things fall off a truck leaks are going to be coming out galore now we've actually been getting Pokemon Scarlet and Violet leaks pretty much since the summer but now we have you know leaks are going to be coming in from a new place right the actual final build rather than an old build that seemingly came from a group that was doing QA testing now the big thing to remember here is we're not actually going to talk about what the leaks are we're not going to get into the leaks we're not going to even reveal any new information on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet so that's not what this video is about this video is actually about something rather interesting happening that I'm surprised Nintendo didn't try cracking cracking down on like at all before because these leaks have been going on for so long enough just these leaks all Pokemon leaks have been going on forever I Nintendo's trying to shut it down legally they are taking every legal course action they can and one of the biggest accounts the probably the largest in terms of gathering information from other leakers and from their own sources would be central leaks on Twitter I do follow them I do pay attention to what's going on there in case there's something we need to cover and this just happened to be something that I feel like we need to address so they put this out there and I have now independently verified this I actually got a hold of somebody else who yes I know is leaking information and I was shown documents proving that Nintendo is trying to take legal action and here is what central leaks put out on Twitter so this is all publicly so something I can share with you guys I'm not going to share private legal documents it says hey Nintendo trying to send a cease and desist to Latin America oh wait you don't even have an e-shop here and even less Latin American Spanish translations for Pokemon games have fun with our useless and incredibly slow legal system and it says bring it next it says for central leak specifically our team is scattered across Paraguay Costa Rica Argentina Venezuela it's not the same as our main account team and then they put out pretty much a similar message in I believe Spanish or so now they follow this up later with a new tweet and this this one's quite interesting because it goes in a little bit more detail it says here's what's happened so far major media outlets will be getting the review copies starting early next week that's basically today tomorrow Nintendo isn't threatening letters to other leak accounts potentially in anticipation of cease and desist if they post any leaks we will cover leaks anyways we think leaks from reviewers are very unlikely Nintendo does a good job at catching them and making sure they lose their job and never get one again in the industry getting court orders to get their IP addresses from places like 4chan or discord that's right Nintendo is pretty big sticklers about it if you get a copy of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet and want to share information safely with the world you can DM us in our main account at Centro Pokemon you can also send us an email to via Centro Pokemon dot proton dot M E now basically what Central Leaks is doing is they are staring down Nintendo and going hey you ain't gonna be able to touch us yes they have multiple Twitter accounts Central Leaks itself has 233.1 thousand views or followers their local account that's in the actual origin country Centro Pokemon has 268,000 so they're pretty big accounts and they have a few other console looking out there as well this is quite interesting because there are certain reasons that some leaks don't get shut down a lot of leaks of Nintendo games as an example Nintendo games leak all the time they come from places like China where Nintendo can't really do much about it legally clearly they think they can maybe make some progress in Latin America but I don't know according to Central Leaks their legal system really isn't that great and this probably not going to be enforced so I find this quite interesting that just now they are deciding hey all these leak accounts out there we're gonna try to get them shut down what's interesting of course is that most of Central Leaks and and and a lot of the Pokemon leakers are doing it on Twitter and yet they're not going towards the Twitter management being like hey shut these accounts down they're sharing you know private information they're they're sharing information they're not legally able to share maybe it's because Twitter doesn't care maybe it's because I don't know I don't think it has much to do with Twitter changing ownership because these accounts have been doing this for so long and so many years that Nintendo could have shut this down a long time ago but I just kind of feel like Nintendo has a couple fundamental issues in their pipeline one it turns out that leaks aren't really coming from reviewers they're not really coming even from people who might get review copies on social media it's quite interesting because the big assumption all these years has been that when Nintendo games leak online that it's coming from the media it's coming from the review outlets but a central leaks points out that's not really where the leaks come from what happens is when they send retail copies out sometimes they arrive at stores a couple weeks early and let's just say one of them goes missing from the back and it's usually a retail employee or a friend of an employee that gets their hands on it and leaks it to the internet and that's typically how people are playing the game early and obviously getting all this information out there about the games which is assured they're gonna happen pretty soon Nintendo obviously worries if they don't get the retail copies to the retailers in time like if they wait okay let's ship them out a week beforehand what if there's some shipping delays we've had many shipping delays all over just the United States and then the retail copies don't even get to retailers and then legit customers that want to show up day one to pick up their copy they have to be like hey sorry we don't have them this is why Nintendo does them a couple weeks early because they want to make sure that they actually have their hands on those copies so look I find this to be quite interesting Nintendo's going this legal route I don't know that it's gonna make much ground because I feel like if they could they would have made a much more ground of this I don't think cease and desist are gonna slow the information and I think right now Nintendo is just kind of grasping at straws but I want to know what you think Nintendo obviously is trying to do everything they can but they know they can't stop it and do you think they should even be trying because now they're just drawing even more attention to leaks by doing this and I feel like maybe that isn't the right way to go about this but what do I know Nintendo just wants to protect their games you guys let me know what you think down in the comments below I'm Nintendo Rebel Jants from Nintendo Prime and I will catch you guys in the next video
