Pro Hong Kong Protestors Spread Pokemon Fan Art To Promote Their Cause
As you all know, protests have been going on in Hong Kong for the last 5 months after the Hong Kong government tried to pass a controversial extradition bill and what many called police brutality.
Joining Overwatch’s Mei and Pepe the Frog is Pokemon, now icons for the protest movement. Hong Kong users have started coming up with Pokemon fan art to spread their cause and educate others about their movement on the Internet. The images come with the hashtag #PokemonForHK on Twitter.

Watercolor for #PokemonforHK. In the #pokemon anime debut of Dugtrio and Diglett, they obstructed construction site for the dam because they wanted to protect the forest. #HongKongProtesters may be obstructing the road but we are for a better future.

Wartortle can be seen as a volunteer, blowing bubbles to put out teargas. This Pokémon has a hard shell, but it still makes sure to wear a hard hat and bring an umbrella to the frontlines – safety first!#PokemonforHK #Pokemon#fanart pic.twitter.com/6jp9uq86aA

Suicune embodies the compassion of pure spring water…it has the power to purify dirty water.
I wish Suicune would come and wash out the eyes of everyone who've cried tears of pain because of tear gas or pepper spray ?#PokemonForHK pic.twitter.com/7yhat67t4H
