While most people wait in eager anticipation for the Pokémon Sun and Moon release, while potentially keeping themselves busy by photoshopping the sh*t out of the world's seemingly least favorite Pokémon starter of all time, Popplio...other folks in Hong Kong marched in protest over Nintendo's plan to use the Putonghua (Mandarin Chinese) translation for 100+ Pokémon characters in the Hong Kong version of Pokémon Sun and Moon.
The core of the fans' unrest is with the Pikachu name change. Previously known as "Beikaaciu" but now set to be referred to as Pikaqiu in future games.
6,000 people banded together to sign off on a petition in March asking Nintendo to reverse the changes, but the request went on to be ignored.
Annd we get our first look at Team Skull's 'Enforcer.'

Salandit's Corrosion ability unleashes poisonous havoc on all, no matter the make, we're talking even Steel or Poison here. Female Salandits also posssess the unique capability of being able to control other Pokémon, through using specialized pheromones. What a week for Pokémon, man.

In all fairness here, anyone who saw that absurd trailer yesterday had to have seen these kinds of reactions approaching fast on the horizon; not only did Snorlax wake up to perform a 'Z-Move' titled 'Pulverizing Pancake' (....), but he did the move on the Donald Trump-esque Pokémon, Gumshoos. It didn't stop there though: we had Raichu riding the swell, and we had a reworked Rattata with one badass mustache.
The newest Pokémon Sun and Moon trailer dropped today, and revealed six new Pokémon. Of course the internet had to collectively focus on Bewear -- the normal/fighting-type Pokémon that just so happens to bear an uncanny resemblance to...Pedobear. Based off these reactions, you just might see it for yourself:

Can't imagine what Trump would make of all this. For those unaware, Yungoos is a Pokémon species that was brought into the Alola region to manage an infestation of another Pokémon (an attempt at mirroring what the Hawaiians did with bringing mongooses to the islands to deal with a rat problem).
Who's to say whether Yungoos might yet make the Alola region great again?
