The Japanese company has contacted a reputed law firm to identify those responsible for these leaks.
The Pokémon Company has initiated the necessary legal procedures to identify those who were responsible for filtering important details and even graphic materials of Pokémon Sword and Shield before its launch. The Japanese company, which had been especially discreet when it came to revealing surprises during the waiting months of these editions, accuses those responsible for "causing irreparable damage" for the company.
As Forbes advances, The Pokémon Company International has closed a contract with a well-known law firm, Perkins Coie, which has commissions in the past with tech giants like Google. The information clarifies, moreover, that a lawsuit has been filed to form in the court of the Western District of Washington, at the seat of Seattle, a document alleging such damages and the origin of those leaks – not the identity of those involved – .
It was through Discord where a total of four users were sharing the materials and revealing information that has proven to be real. The modus operandi was as follows: one of them delivered the images; the other three helped to distribute these captures in different networks and forums. Let them be mentioned, 4Chan and Discord. The Pokémon Company requests that those responsible for both portals provide the necessary assistance to identify the IP addresses of these users, registered anonymously.
The giant directed by Tsunekazu Ishihara since its foundation, back in 1998, expects to be compensated when the case is brought to trial.
