Nintendo's 'Pokemon' Franchise

"Pokemon" remains one of Nintendo's most beloved and popular intellectual properties, and the company made it clear that it is against copyright infringements which saw significant actions against hackers and pirates. Recently, Nintendo hunted down a prolific Japanese hacker who was responsible for modding "Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's" game data and then sold it to the public.

This game remains the latest entry to the "Pokemon" video game franchise, and it is yet to see a successor coming, apart from the continuation of its "Legends" series with "Pokemon Legends: Z-A" which will succeed "Arceus."

Additionally, Nintendo has been busy building a case and successfully filing it against PocketPair Inc., a fellow Japanese gaming company that allegedly infringed the franchise with its hit action RPG, "Palworld."

The wait for the next "Pokemon" game is a long one as it was revealed by earlier leaks that the Nintendo Switch 2 will not get a new release come its speculated drop next year as it will need more time before this AAA-rated, first-party title. However, the leaks struck the motherlode, Game Freak, over the weekend, revealing more of the unnamed region's watery setting, to be Generation 10's upcoming focus.
