Pokemon makes statement: #BlackLivesMatter, $100k to NAACP and BLM each.
- Thread starter Phendrift
- Start date
Yeah that was my takeaway. Apparently though the NA Pokemon rep is a black woman so maybe she had some influence.
Don't boost it. At this point all of the dumb BBND stuff in the replies is probably bots and doesn't deserve attention. Good on Pokemon for finally making a real post though, way better than the fist bump.
Much much better response and I'm super glad to see that they're donating money as well.
Can you believe that some people in this forum kept saying that the official Twitter account didn't have to say anything cause it's a kids game?
Yeah that account posted the worst thing you could respond with to something incredibly important. They deserve that response from Joe and all other attacks they get.

Another contribution, which is always good. The responses being mostly positive is nice, besides the usual dexiters.
What a king.
What a king.
But really on a post where they are trying to rectify their previous mistake?
Like Dexit would be the same response even if they lead with this response.
That guy has a script to constantly be one first people to comment in their statuses.
Dude lives a depressing life.
Ah, I didn't know that. That's cool. Them actually mentioning BLM and systemic racism was good. I noticed Nintendo's one was careful not to mention either of these things, and instead used more vague terms.
I'm not really understanding the question sorry! But I will say that no matter your thoughts on the missing Pokemon, it's not okay at all ever to whine about the missing Pokemon during any post about something serious like this.
Like at Sony where people keep asking for game reveals when Sony posted that BLM statement.
It's fine, everyone gets lost and things!
I mean the quoted one was you saying that in response to someone speaking about Dexit on this new one, so I thought you were okay with whining on this new post.
But it's fine. Just wish people could go a day without complaining about Dexit.
Oh no way definitely not! I applaud Joe for posting a response like that! I have my issues with some of the changes but there's a time and a place. It was absolutely neither of those in any of the posts.
I agree that the Dexit posts are insufferable but posting it as a response on a BLM statement of all times is absolutely repugnant.
Bullying corps works!
Y'all were in my thread saying we shouldn't hold companies' feet to the fire. Very clownish.

Perfect opportunity for them to band together and make their own anti-SJW game /s
I would imagine that nearly every single company that is matching and/or contributing themselves is not entirely maximizing the amount they would realistically be able to.
Are you being consistent with this opinion across all companies that are supporting BLM?
It's money donated to a good cause, and a positive message. It's fine. They're doing their part.
