The makers of Pokémon expressed frustration with the White House on Friday after the Trump administration used Pokémon-style imagery in a recent X post touting the MAGA movement.
“We are aware of recent social content that includes imagery associated with our brand,” a spokesperson for Pokémon Company International said in a statement to media outlets. “We were not involved in its creation or distribution, and no permission was granted for the use of our intellectual property. Our mission is to bring the world together, and that mission is not affiliated with any political viewpoint or agenda.”
