Unite Pokémon explodes straight and with a new patch hits the servers in early August, many players have followed their accounts to stay up to date with MOBA news. However, the game is not managed by The Pokémon Company or Game Freak, but developed by the Chinese developer TiMi Studio Group. That official Twitter account has been quite chatty lately so one gamer has befriended a popular meme that encourages them to say gay rights.
You’ve probably seen this before – just this week, someone paid for the original gloriole Announcer to say trans rights. It has become a habit to ask celebrities to repeat this phrase or variations of it because the bar is so damn low that anyone dares to say something as vaguely political as that mere concept of equality for queer people feels like an asset to the community. Brands always say they are inclusive, but usually in the broadest sense. Most of the time, brands related to Nintendo don’t really say something that is reminiscent of politics.
But the TiMi Group Studio didn’t get a PR strategy memo here and instead of ignoring the joke or just typing in “gay rights” for simple internet points, their communicator replied, “Why? Straight player rights are just as important. ”The tweets have now been deleted, although screencaps show that TiMi’s account provided several more responses.
Hours later, while the posts were going, the TiMi account stated that it had made a mistake.

Someone answered That suggesting that it matters because not everyone in society has equal rights. To which the TiMi Studio Group replied, “Learned a serious lesson.”
The Pokémon Company, meanwhile, commented that they did not endorse anything of TiMi in any way, and that beyond that … they will deal with it somehow. A representative from the Pokémon Company said Kotaku that the monster collection company would say nothing more on the subject, so there is no real idea of how the situation is being dealt with.
At The Pokémon Company International, we believe in a just and just world and that every person, employee, and fan has the unique skills, powers, and intentions to contribute to this common cause. As part of this, we celebrate the humanity of each individual and fully support the LGBTQIA + community.
Diversity, equality and inclusion are the foundations of our culture of belonging, and our core value of integrity and respect underscores the importance of treating people with respect and empathy in order to create an open and trusting environment.
These statements are inconsistent with our beliefs, culture, or values and are fundamentally incorrect. We are working with our external partner to resolve the situation.
So there you have it. The Pokémon Company doesn’t support the straights, all of you. Good for you.
