In a demonstration of solidarity and support, the Pokémon Company has donated two hundred thousand dollars to help fund humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine. The Pokémon franchise is well-loved around the world, with the games celebrated by younger and older fans alike.
For the past week, the country of Ukraine has been fighting against the invasion of Russian forces, united in a battle for freedom. Over a million of Ukraine's citizens have been forced to leave their country, and cities have endured damages that have destroyed homes, public buildings, and crucial resources.
Hopefully, the Pokémon Company's involvement will be a call-to-action for other franchises, encouraging companies to donate in support of the relief efforts. For those actively affected or watching the Ukrainian crisis unfold, new game announcements, upcoming events, and console ports have taken a back seat.
