Pokemon’s Leaked Multiplayer Game Explained

by

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I’ve witnessed the evolution of the Pokemon franchise from a simple Game Boy game to a global phenomenon. The latest Teraleak has sent shockwaves through the community, revealing tantalizing glimpses into the future of our beloved series. Among the leaked goodies is a multiplayer game, codenamed Pokemon Synapse, which, if true, could be a game-changer for the franchise.

A recent leak, dubbed ‘Teraleak’, has unveiled a wealth of details about the Pokemon franchise. Among the flood of disclosed information is a glimpse into a future Pokemon game from Generation 10, which boasts multiplayer capabilities.

The internet has been buzzing with revelations from Game Freak, the source of which began to surface earlier this month. Known as the Teraleak, it’s being called the largest leak in the franchise’s history, and it certainly lives up to that title in terms of its contents. Among other things, a multitude of abandoned and prototype Pokemon have been exposed, along with extensive pages of discarded backstories and lore. Moreover, previously unseen Pokemon and upcoming Pokemon games for Generation 10 have also come to light.

Pokemon’s Leaked Multiplayer Game, Pokemon Synapse, Explained

In the contents of Teraleak, it was discovered that a multiplayer Pokemon-like game was leaked. Since Game Freak hasn’t commented on the leaked Pokemon content, especially not about this specific game, details are unclear and have led to some misunderstandings. Initially thought to be an MMO when the leaks first appeared, Centro Leaks X has clarified that it is not, leaving a lot of mystery surrounding what form the game “Pokemon Synapse” will ultimately take.

Pokemon Synapse Will Allegedly Look Like Splatoon

The most solid information about Synapse, according to Pokemon leaks, primarily concerns the studios rumored to be involved in its production. As reported by Centro Leaks, this battle-centric multiplayer game is believed to be a joint project between Game Freak and ILCA. It’s worth noting that ILCA has been associated with the development of Pokemon since at least 2020, specifically with Pokemon Home. However, they may be more recognized for their work on Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

It was somewhat anticipated this year that this collaboration would occur, as The Pokemon Company set up a new division within Pokemon Works, located in the same building as ILCA. While the specific purpose of Pokemon Works is yet to be revealed, its proximity to ILCA clearly indicates a strengthening relationship between the two companies and may result in the upcoming game called Pokemon Synapse.

Regarding gameplay style, it seems the game “Pokemon Teraleak” has sparked speculation suggesting that “Synapse” might share similarities with “Splatoon”. While it’s not guaranteed that Synapse will be a paintball turf war, this comparison is being made to challenge the idea that the game will be a Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) title. This could imply that Synapse may offer a multiplayer experience structured around matches, and potentially function as a live service. However, these are just predictions at this point.

In connection with the leaks concerning Synapse and various Pokemon projects, images of files have been circulating online. A screenshot obtained from Centro Leaks X has revealed eight game-related files, many of which bear rather ordinary names. Two files contain the word ‘kaiwa’ (kaiwa and kaiwalist), suggesting a possible reference to a Japanese term for conversation, although this is unusual given that all other terms are in English.

What Synapse Could Mean For The Franchise

It’s well-known that Game Freak has been increasingly exploring the world of online gaming, particularly after the triumph of Pokemon GO. With similarities to Splatoon noted, Synapse might be pushing boundaries like never before – potentially standing tall as a formidable competitor in the AAA online gaming arena.

It’s regrettable that the world of online Pokemon games is becoming more linked with greed. The way money is handled in Pokemon GO continues to spark debate, while the recent release of Pokemon Unite faced heavy criticism for its microtransactions. As for Synapse, we don’t yet know what their monetization strategy will be or if there will even be any microtransaction-based monetization; we can only wait and see how things develop in the future.
