Safe
Widely-distributed Pokémon game archive with 897 submissions, zero malicious detections, and 16 tier-1 engines reporting clean.
c8b7174a6c03912226…d2cd4fe27eThe verdict, reasoned out.
Not a rules engine. The MT AI Engine reads every signal we collected, weighs them against history, and commits to an answer.
The evidence overwhelmingly supports a safe classification. All 16 tier-1 antivirus engines (Kaspersky, Microsoft, BitDefender, ESET-NOD32, Avira, Fortinet, F-Secure, GData, Emsisoft, DrWeb, Avast, AVG, and others) report the file as undetected or clean. Zero engines flagged it as malicious or suspicious. The file's prevalence classification is 'common_old' with 897 submissions from 831 unique sources spanning over 8 years, demonstrating it is a widely-known and widely-distributed file. No sandbox behaviour data, no dropped children, no malicious host contact, and no external-intelligence hits (CIRCL, MalwareBazaar, YARAify) provide additional confidence. The filename is straightforward and non-adversarial.
Each signal cites a concrete token from the evidence the arbiter saw — engine name, MITRE technique, signer string, or an exact count.
