Japan ese police arrested a man after finding evidence that he illegally tampered with save data for the Nintendo Switch games Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, which he used to create custom characters that he sold on an online gaming marketplace . According to machine translations of stories at NHK and the Asahi Shimbun, the Kochi Prefectural police arrested 36-year-old Yoshihiro Yamakawa on April 9th after cyber patrol officers caught him selling the characters online.
As we noted in our review of the games in 2022, battling and collecting monsters is an unsurprisingly major focus, and both titles were jam-packed with new, never-before-seen monsters. Players go on increasingly difficult raids to capture exotic and hard-to-find monsters, with the goal of training, battling, and, in some cases, even breeding them. It turns out some players covet rare pokémon enough to buy them on the black market.
