With these donations, The Pokemon Company is joining the likes of EA, Niantic and Square Enix in financially supporting organizations relevant to the Black Lives Matter movement.
At this time, it simply is not enough for companies to say that they are for the Black Lives Matter movement, they must demonstrate it as well, and The Pokemon Company has done just that.
In a surprising move, another development company is now also pitching in: The Pokemon Company International.
This marks the first time that the Pokemon Company has taken a position regarding Black Lives Matter and the systemic oppression of Black people in America.
