Fake Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu ROM is bricking Switch units

Here's a bit of piracy that Nintendo might approve! As you know, Pokemon: Let's Go was leaked onto the internet last week, and pirates have been downloading the game ever since. To fight against that leak, someone put out a Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu ROM that hides something sinister. As soon as the user fires it up on their Switch, they'll find that their console has been bricked. That's learning a lesson the hard way!
