Pokémon Company objects to Trump administration's use of its imagery

The Pokémon Company International has criticised the Trump administration's use of its characters and imagery in political meme posts. The latest example was a still image from the newly released Pokopia that was altered to feature the slogan "Make America Great Again", with series mascot Pikachu poking out from behind the "e" in "Make".

"We were not involved in its creation or distribution, and no permission was granted for the use of our intellectual property," said Pokémon spokeswoman Sravanthi Dev.
