      Yeah… I can see why they’d be annoyed at that.

      Games shouldn’t be used for political messaging

    2. I swear as a european that grew up watching Southpark it feels like it became real. Everything I read or see coming from the US seems so bizarre that I often question my sanity.

    3. Unprofessional, improper, _unacceptable_. Americans should be ashamed of their president’s office.

    4. >In September, Pokémon Company International issued a similar statement to news outlets after the Department of Homeland Security posted a video compilation of Immigration and Custom Enforcement arrests, interspersed with clips from “Pokémon” and set to the anime show’s theme song, “Gotta Catch ‘Em All!”

      What the everloving FUCK?

      Do those people have no shred of shame or decency left in them?

      I know The Pokemon Company and Nintendo have aggressive lawyers, they should be sending a cease and desist to get it taken down. Just putting out a statement isn’t enough.

    6. Nintendo…you know what you must do

      It is in times of great need that we call for thy help

      Bring out…

    7. They should stop writing stern posts and just start suing. If they already used the material, it hardly makes a difference anymore.

    8. They have no problem suing others. They even took down AOCs use of Animal Crossing. But this is all they’ll do? Why are they so afraid to demand this be taken down? It’s just like when they used Pokémon for ICE.

      If the President of the United States wants to use your IP, you are duty-bound to agree.
