As many folks worldwide know by now, the tragic death of George Floyd has spurred on a wave of angry protests across the US. We’ve already seen Nintendo of America share their take on the situation, and now it looks like The Pokemon Company International is making its move too.

The company recently shared their own message promoting Black Lives Matter on social media – where it expressed its support for the impacted communities at large. In addition to this, The Pokemon Company International also pledged two donations of $100,000 each to the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and the Black Lives Matter movement.

We leave you with their full statement below:
