The incident, which took place on Sept. 1, involved six pictures of {{p|Janovy}}, {{p|Chaobu}} and {{p|Futachimaru}}. The three Pokémon were scheduled to release seventeen days later in {{game|Black and White|s}}. The images were found on a "cyber patrol". Although police did not release the source of the images, they did confirm that the images were from the October issue of {{bp|CoroCoro}} magazine, which was due out on 15th September 2010. CoroCoro often leaks ahead of its release, but not usually two weeks in advance. Of his intent, Sekiguchi said: {{quote|cat=no|I thought I would show everyone the characters that haven't been made public yet.|Makoto Sekiguchi}}
