The Pokemon Company says “permission was not granted” for ICE arrests video

The Pokemon Company has commented on the use of its IP in the widely shared ICE video showing the deportation of migrants. The Pokemon Company say in a statement that it was not consulted on the use of the Pokemon anime clips and theme song being used in the video. Many online have suggested that The Pokemon Company should take legal action, but that seems unlikely. Here’s what was said:

“We are aware of a recent video posted by the Department of Homeland Security that includes imagery and language associated with our brand,” the statement reads. “Our company was not involved in the creation or distribution of this content, and permission was not granted for the use of our intellectual property.”

  1. “Unlikely” uh I doubt it…. The Pokemon Company may not do it, but Nintendo (its parent company) is perfectly capable of it, American ‘justice’ department or not.

  2. Yeah Nintendo not winning against the US government. Everyone anti Nintendo the soylennial leftists will be mad walking back their slander over Nintendo in the past like Palworld.

  3. I’m not anti-Nintendo but even if Nintendo does sue them, they ain’t winning. Legal Mindset put out a video talking about it. Also, the video is a parody which falls under fair use.

  4. I don’t think Nintendo is not going to win against the US government due to their so called precious qualified immunity for government officials. Plus, the Department of Homeland Security didn’t even bother on crediting the song that used for the first Pokémon anime opening for the US. Everything that people created or invented deserved to be credit under their names. We all have to respect that, but these clowns did not.

      1. That’s the sad truth, my family and i had to go back to Mexico when all this orange man™ nightmare came back to screw the world.

        1. Joe Biden Likes To Smell Children

          Maybe don’t come to this country illegally and you won’t be deported. I don’t care what reasons you have for crossing the boarder, do it legally.🤷

          1. I wasn’t illegal, trump supporters started to attack anyone who isn’t “American”, they forced us and a lot of people from my community to leave the country, those “people” destroyed businesses and burned houses just for the sake of hatred and to be honestly it took time to accept the sudden change but at the end i am glad i am glad i returned to Mexico to teach my American born children about their roots 😀.

            You should keep your fingers out of the keyboard before judging…smh.

            1. Source about these “people” destroying businesses (many, many, as you imply) and burning houses (again, many, many, as you imply) sounds like it’s be huge news. Then we can share what the criminals who create this bad rep for y’all have done. Please multiple sources.

            2. Bro if this businesses and homes from your community were destroyed due to the orange man. Then political opponents would’ve been plastering this all over online and on TV the past few months. They would jump at the chance to go after him. But I haven’t seen anything you are describing.
              If this was happening around 2020 to 2022, then you are talking about a very different group of people unrelated to the orange man.

          2. In this case, you too should leave America since you are all illegal immigrants…only Native Americans are true native Americans.

  5. Gotta Sue em All!

    If they sued they’d be in the right, and they’d win. It seems like they just don’t want the attention though and hopes the story goes away quickly. Which, fair, but also facism just doesn’t go away, you gotta kick em in the balls at every opportunity. Chinga La Migra!

  6. This situation shows how quickly content can spread without full context, especially around sensitive topics. Clear statements from organizations help reduce confusion and prevent misinformation from escalating. The same need for accuracy applies in everyday matters too, such as checking verified records like Highland property data when people want reliable details. Transparency and proper permissions play a key role in building trust and informed discussions.

  7. It’s interesting to see The Pokémon Company step in so clearly and state that permission was not granted, as it highlights how sensitive brand use can be in serious real-world situations. These kinds of clarifications matter, especially when videos spread quickly and shape public opinion. In a similar way, having access to accurate, verified information—like what you find through Bay County Properties helps people separate facts from assumptions. Transparency from organizations, whether in media or public records, ultimately builds more trust. It’s a reminder that context and consent should never be overlooked.

  8. That clarification from The Pokémon Company adds important context, especially with how quickly short clips can be misunderstood online. It highlights the importance of verifying consent and original intent before reacting, similar to how insights shared through Tell Aldi Opinion reflect genuine customer viewpoints. Moments like this show how easily narratives can shift without full information. Open, fact-based discussion really helps keep things balanced.

  9. This situation highlights how important it is to verify permissions and sources before sharing sensitive footage, especially when legal or public agencies are involved. Clear records and transparent documentation help prevent misunderstandings and protect all parties. For anyone researching public data practices and official records, resources like Palm Beach Property can be useful for reviewing verified information. Accurate data access plays a key role in maintaining trust and accountability across different sectors.
