Pokémon Brand Objects to White House’s Unauthorized AI Meme
TL;DR
Pokémon Company International said the White House posted a MAGA-themed image resembling its Pokémon Pokopia in an AI-style design without permission, noting they were not involved in its creation or distribution; the White House did not respond, and this adds to ongoing criticism of using branded IP in political messaging without consent.
