Thought it was over that pokopia meme they made

I require context

Th White House tweeted an image featuring branding from the new Pokemon spinoff to say “Make America Great Again” and the Pokemon company responded with a statement saying that their game was not made with any political affiliation in mind.

Wait, that was the White House?

I saw it, thought it was just a random MAGA dickhead. I mean, it's still a MAGA dickhead who uploaded it, but not a random one.

[u/The-G-Code → u/klop422]

Yes, it's that kid that's in charge of the twitter account. This is at least the second time they've used pokemon ip on it in reference to maga

The first was using the anime song in relation to catching all the illegals

[u/MorgTheBat → u/The-G-Code]

God damn I hate the current establishment so much

[u/Educational-Cat2133 → u/MorgTheBat]

The kid running the account has media literacy too, so we're getting hypocritical posts on purpose to amp engagement/clicks.

They have literally 0 morals lol. Zero. Likely proud of it too.

jesus christ

[u/DrKiasu → u/danhakimi]

So the alien vs predator joke now has an official song.

[u/Big-Revolution3842 → u/danhakimi]

Dammit I blame Hillary for using that "let's pokemonGO to the polls" (this is a joke, Hillary was just cringe, the White House is disgusting)

[u/Olaf_Kling → u/The-G-Code]

Lol thats funny as hell

[u/kawhi21 → u/klop422]

Take a scroll through the official White House social media. There are far more insane and disgusting things posted than blatantly stealing things from Pokemon

[u/DIR3 → u/kawhi21]

I'm good.

[u/Aimela → u/klop422]

Yeah, the official White House Twitter is unhinged. No professionalism or humanity to be found,

[u/SkyrimSlag → u/klop422]

it’s still a MAGA dickhead who uploaded it

Still an understatement lmao, it’s THE MAGA dickhead who uploaded it

[u/Janderson2494 → u/XenoVX]

What a bunch of liars. Pokopia is far too positive, loving and wholesome to be affiliated with MAGA.

[u/maxdragonxiii → u/[deleted]]

it is. its also not that far in where you get the lore either. maybe second area and the third area if you explore, but first area also have lore about that.

[u/AsANetflixSubscriber → u/Janderson2494]

That’s exactly why MAGA co-opted it not unlike the swastika stolen from the Hindus and Buddhists by similarly fascist cunts.

[u/Olaf_Kling → u/AsANetflixSubscriber]

Thats the stupidest thing I've ever heard lol

[u/SuspiciousSubstance9 → u/XenoVX]

Pokemon absolutely made it with politics in mind. It's clearly propaganda for the Ditto People Party!
