Pokemon leak reveals gameplay footage for unannounced online co-op game

Key insights

• The Game Freak leaks reveal early gameplay footage of an unannounced Pokémon game codenamed Synapse.
• This game is described as an online game with co-op multiplayer.
• This is the same game that was previously described as “Splatoon-inspired.”

The Pokemon leaks continue, now revealing what appears to be early gameplay footage for an unannounced Pokemon game. According to those who have scoured the leaks, this footage comes from Codename: Synapse, a project that has been mentioned in previous leaks and has been compared to Splatoon.

Pokemon leaker Centro Leaks has detailed the latest alleged findings, reviewing material they believe is related to Project Synapse. This includes early demos of gameplay, as well as the reveal that players will be able to use weapons for the first time – albeit of the kind found in Splatoon.

The thread addresses several pieces of material apparently contained in the Game Freak leak. In addition to the gameplay footage, we also get some details about the game, giving us a better idea of ​​what it will entail.

According to Centro, this game is currently known as Synapse, but has also been codenamed Rodeo. It’s apparently about riding Pokemon, a bit like Pokemon Legends: Arceus but on a larger scale. We’ll also calm down “raging” Pokémon to ride them, as seen in another portion of the footage.

Additionally, the Pokemon will apparently be customizable, as a leaked image shows different markings you can place on the monster you capture.

One of the more striking revelations, however, is that we will apparently be able to wield a gun. Admittedly, it looks more like a spray can, which contributes to the game being described as Splatoon-inspired, but it’s still a new direction for the series.

Of course, Game Freak has yet to confirm the existence of this game. For now, everything we know about it is thanks to this leak, which also appears to have revealed several other projects, including the next generation of Pokémon. We have to wait and see whether these projects bear fruit.

Meanwhile, leaked material continues to be shared online. Game Freak has acknowledged the situation and confirmed that a data breach occurred in August this year.
