Pokémon is using the leakers, who did nothing but get the truth out there when Gamefreak refused to?

Fortunately, we have reason to counter-sue.

Gamefreak has been on record saying that Sword & Shield would be cutting the National Dex to make room for higher quality animations. Dataminers have proved that the animations in Sword & Shield were recycled from the 3DS.

Furthermore, Gamefreak intentionally withheld vital information about the game, such as the starter evolutions, until everyone had already purchased the game. In addition, they cancelled the launch party after the leaks, despite the fact that Sun & Moon got leaked early and they did not cancel the launch party. This is damning evidence against Gamefreak.

This is a clear cut case of bait and switch.
