Pokmon "Banette"? Media: Don't even think about trying to slip this past us.
According to reports, the well-known Japanese game and anime IP Pokmon recently announced on its official website that it plans to hold related activities at the Yasukuni Shrine on January 31. Although the organizer of this event is not the official Pokmon company, the event page was quickly deleted under strong questioning from netizens both in China and abroad. However, Pokmon and its parent company Nintendo have not provided any explanation so far. What kind of place is Yasukuni Shrine, how many evils does it hide? Doesn't a multinational corporation like Nintendo know this? It is a symbol of Japanese militarism, a sore spot for peace advocates in Asia and the world; it enshrines Class-A war criminals who initiated aggressive wars and committed heinous crimes against neighboring Asian countries. Pokmon is clearly aware of these facts, otherwise they would not have hastily taken down the related information after public outcry. Now, this incident has greatly hurt the feelings of the Chinese people and even the people of Asia. It is obvious that simply saying "unofficially organized" will not be enough to get past this. Pokmon and Nintendo remain silent, as if pretending this issue doesn't exist. Do they want to turn a blind eye and deceive their way through? This kind of thinking is not only foolish, but also a second offense to the feelings of the Asian people.
