bs. Gave up his copy? That wouldn't do anything, nor do they care other than someone posting.
>>14164625Because all that matters in Pokemon is the Pokemon. There was no big stink about Black 2/White 2 leaks, just Black/White. It's only with new generations. They don't want the primary selling point and hype train being spoiled in North America.
You can't spoil Mario.
Zelda can be spoiled, but it's about the experience. Even if you know what's coming, it's not the same as playing it.
Pokemon's whole pull is discovering the new Pokemon. If you know them all already, Nintendo gets all poopy.
But I also don't think Nintendo did -anything- except maybe e-mail people to please stop without any actual threat.
