Almost everything they’ve done or changed for the pandemic was forced by online fan pressure. It got so bad that a whole hashtag and MAJOR media coverage of the issues started happening this year. It was not a good look for Pokémon in the major media.Has... GO not handled the pandemic well so far? They've implemented so many changes and bonuses into the game and compensated for so many things, it seems like their handling overall has been pretty stellar. It would be bizarre for TPC to have any issue with them to the point of petty symbol changes.
the recent news is of course too late to be related to this, but it’s still very telling. We see nothing of the behind the scenes relationship between Niantic and TPC, but this plus the lootbox controversy (which is still going on, years later) and general poor relationship the company has with fans and players… it is nothing like how TPC runs things they have complete more say over.
Sorry to detail the thread! Just thought it was a perfect explanation of them creating a new set of symbols.
