I am with the gaming people of hong kong. xD
But for serious… Its hard to know how to feel about this one, It seems the pokemon company did it for specific reasons and it backfired on them, and it may be to late to change this decision… Also it is pretty kewl that they love the pikachu name/ there language culture ect enough to do this in the name of pika.
Edit: Its also really good the pokemon compnay brings these versions to china.
Pikachao? Geez…
Lol I was going to post this but you beat me Milhouse! Haha
I used to live and work in Hong Kong… I understand they whinge about alot of stuff. But anything where mainland mandarin Chinese is imposing on Cantonese style and culture, is a big no, no.
It’s really f**ked up in my opinion what there doing… I would be protesting as well if I’m there still… Well… Actually, maybe just looking for hot girls who like protesting pokemon… But the point is!
It’s degrading for Hong Kong, as it’s just another small f#ck you! saying your now part of China…
That’s all this is about…
They hate being part of China. They are separate countries and people with a different language. They want to keep the traditional style.
Yeah I agree man, life is a massive F*** you, i dictate yo ass. Im wit the people who dont want there culture rid of… Im with the protesters, and I want to also pick up some pika proters, that arnt male.
I remember when you lived in hongkong and i bought your alakazam and zapdos chinese 1st edition. I still have alakazam, but his getting sold But I have zapdos right in front of me and it was part of my 1st ever submission in psa sub history.
But yeah when I said its good what pokemon company did, i ment by how they release the games in china again, because there might be pokemon sets to come in cards soon… maybe… I dunno
Ridiculous that this has been politicized. It’s more of a failure to distinguish between Cantonese and Mandarin than a mainland/HK thing. Means Nintendo is failing to recognize the 107,240,000 people who live in Guangdong too, not just HK. Obviously Pokemon has never been released on the mainland, but they still watched the cartoon…!
Is this still a big thing?
Nothing political gets attention for more than two days in the US so I wouldn’t know what that’s like. lol
