Following the Trump administration sharing a Pokemon Pokopia meme on X, Pokemon Company International has taken a stand against the White House’s repeated unauthorized use of its property. Sravanthi Dev, a Pokemon Company spokesperson, addressed the post in an official statement given to The New York Times, writing:
“We are aware of recent social content that includes imagery associated with our brand. 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.”

The image shared by the White House reads “make america great again” written in the same font used in the latest Pokemon game, Pokemon Pokopia, and set on top a screenshot from the game. This is part of a larger trend, in which fans of the Pokemon series have used a font generator to create their own version of the game’s logo with custom text.
