The Pokémon Company, meanwhile, commented that it in no way endorsed anything said by TiMi, and that furthermore, it’s going to…deal with it somehow. To that, TiMi Studio Group replied, “learned a serious lesson.” Someone responded to this suggesting that it mattered because not everyone has equal rights in society.
More often than not, Nintendo-adjacent brands don’t really say anything resembling politics. Brands always say they’re inclusive, but it’s usually in the broadest terms possible. It’s become a thing to ask celebrities to repeat that phrase or variations of it, because the bar is so fuckin’ low that someone daring to say something as vaguely political as the mere concept of equal rights for queer people feels like a win to the community.
You’ve probably seen this before - just this week, someone paid the original Halo announcer to say trans rights. The official Twitter account has been pretty chatty lately, so one player hit it up with a popular meme encouraging them to say gay rights. But the game isn’t handled by The Pokémon Company or Game Freak, and is instead developed by Chinese developer TiMi Studio Group.
#TIMI STUDIO GROUP PATCH#
Pokémon Unite is blowing up right now, and with a new patch hitting servers in early August, many players have followed the associated accounts to keep up with news of the MOBA.
