X and Y leaks in a store in Canada!

[SpellCheckJoe]

A store in Canada has officially been distributing Pokemon X and Pokemon Y today, DAYS BEFORE the launch date.

Information has been derived from Twitter, however there is a leaker that has dedicated an Instagram account to all of his findings with his Pokemon X copy which was obtained earlier today.

Instagram name of the leaker is: KOSTHEDIN

Be warned. There are MAJOR spoilers within that Instagram account, including the confirmation of a speculated pre-evo. He also has videos on this account, which proves the gameplay is 100% real.

Do you guys think GameFreak will release the new games early worldwide because of this disaster?!

 

[kite]

Most likely not. If spoilers end up on Tumblr, I'm gone... until I beat the game.

It's at least a week before >.>

Damn, that store is gonna receive a lot of **** for this.

Have all stores even gotten it yet? I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if they were still sending out shipments.

Funnily enough, it was a series of stores. Depending on if any of them get fined for it the rest of the area(I dunno how Canada does their area stuff) will be able to sell copies early as well.

Sigh..I wish they would just release it early now. I can't wait any longer.

 

[Nefarious]

KOSTHEDIN was contacted by Nintendo to stop leaking images. So he took down the screenshots.
I doubt they'll release it early; it's just those lucky Canadians that got it early. Xc

Apparently Nintendo went as far as taking back the prematurely-released game.

 

[Zeiro]

Nintendo doesn't f**k around! Oh my god!

Pokemon is srs bsns.

Hopefully he and his friend learned their lesson lol

I don't think they would have taken the game off him. For one, he owns the game as he's paid for it? The shop it liable for the release he was a consumer who bought it when it was in shops. He did nothing wrong in my eyes, he posted pictures and videos of a game he just got. Unfortunately, it was released early but he shouldn't be penalised for it.

 

[Prof Gallows]

They didn't take the game off of him. He went back to the store and gave the game back so his friend wouldn't get fired.

The Nintendo rep that went down there only went there to keep anymore games from getting out.

 

[Unidentified Floor Orange]

I'm pretty sure he was aware of the release date and that he wasn't supposed to obtain it earlier than that. And our ownership of a game only extends so far, something which (along with ownership of other media) has been debated in court.

So I don't see anything wrong with Nintendo wanting his copy. He and his friend used poor judgement and had to face the consequences.

EDIT: I should read an article more carefully. It never actually says that Nintendo asked for his game back, just that they were less than pleased with the store in question.

I heard about this apparently nintendo is PISSED and is sending a representative down to that game stop.
it's gonna be on like donkey kong

 

[Link32]

I'm from Canada and I didn't get it. It's probably like family-runned stores that distributed it.

GameStop is on Canada?

 

[Bread Kennedys]

GameStop is on Canada?

No, I think he means EB Games. Because Gamestop is in the US and Mexico, while EB Games is in Canada and Australia.

Already said that in thread lol

If the store released it, shouldn't it be considered out in Canada? How did the store even get it btw..

Something seems fishy about this.
