After the hacking of Game Freak, a significant amount of information, images, and other data related to the Pokemon franchise were released on the internet. Hackers published not only prototypes and concepts for previously unseen Pokemon, but also information about future plans for the franchise, including the name of the next console after Nintendo Switch. The representatives of Game Freak confirmed the leak.
According to sources, a substantial number of concepts from the animated series “Pokémon” were leaked online, including a significant number of sprites. This is a summary of previously released information.
A variety of games are in development for the Pokemon universe, including the Gaia Project for the Switch successor, code-named “Ounce.” The leak refers to a potential new area that is “oversaturated.” Fans speculate that this area may resemble Greece.
Another game is the Synapse project – this game will focus on multiplayer combat.
Additionally, it has been reported that a live-action series based on Pokemon is being developed in collaboration with Netflix. While the status of the project is uncertain at this time, it is expected that it will consist of eight episodes and will air in 2024.
The franchise will also launch a new feature-length film, known internally as “Bauer”. The project has been in development since 2021 and is scheduled for release in 2023. This film was conceived as a fresh start for the franchise, aimed at captivating both longtime fans and appealing to a more mature audience. The film will explore dark subjects such as cyberbullying and suicide.
Furthermore, it appears that a sequel to “Detective Pikachu” is either in the works or has been in the works, with Jordan Peele at the helm. The full script for the sequel has been leaked online. The film was initially scheduled for release in 2024, but it is possible that the date has been adjusted or the project has been shelved.
Furthermore, a project titled “Game Boy” was developed for “Pokemon”. The objective of this project was to “unveil the theme of Pokemon’s boundless potential by crafting a narrative that underscores the significance of relationships, whether they are between companions or between Pokemon themselves.”
A 12-episode anime series, codenamed “Reload,” was also being produced for the Pokemon franchise and consisted of 12 episodes.
The data provided above is just a fraction of the leaked information, which will continue to be disclosed gradually.
