#### Is there a rundown of the whole gen 2 beta, capumon assets etc situation?

I'm assuming these two are linked and call it a situation because I've seen them mentioned together before. I was looking hopefully for just a… full explanation. All I've seen is the beta roms themselves, and some murmurings of controversy after something to do with capumon assets? But I never really poked around hard enough to figure out what exactly went on. I'm mostly curious as to A- where exactly do they originate? Both in terms of "do we know or have an idea of how they were obtained" and in terms of the people who originally shared them, cause I just happened to hear about the gen 2 beta from some tumblr posts but it was all art of what it was, no background detail. From the same people, or from different people?. B- why am I hearing about controversy? Obviously leaks are a dubious subject in general, but I have vague memories of seeing a lot of complaints regarding capumon stuff specifically that I just kinda skipped over cause they weren't really in context (if you know, you know and if you don't then go find it yourself lol sort of thing)
I think the only place I actually saw capumon related content is this helix chamber(?) site but I don't really know what's going on there either, it's all just detailed posts on what they actually contain?
Sorry if this post doesn't really make sense. I'll try and elaborate if asked.
(On second thought I'm not sure if this is the right subforum, so feel free to move it if needed)

I actually posted a decent summary of the series of events that preceded everything here: https://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=8950.0
tl;dr: Wack0 (Riley) hacked into Nintendo while on bail from Microsoft and obtained a crapton of Pokemon stuff, including pre-release builds, prototypes, source code, etc.
I released some of these assets anonymously and in an interpreted form to stay as legally-sound as possible (hence why there are PNG files and not actual data files, etc.), but it all got too stressful and I made the announcement linked above and deleted everything I had.
That's about it as far as a tl;dr goes though.
