Former Pokemon Legal Chief "Wouldn't Touch" Homeland Security Video That Used Ash Ketchum
The article discusses the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) use of Ash Ketchum and the "Gotta catch 'em all" theme from the Pokemon franchise in a video promoting ICE activities. The former legal chief of The Pokemon Company, Don McGowan, explained why the company is unlikely to take legal action against the DHS. McGowan cited the company's preference for keeping a low profile and the immigration status of some of its executives in the USA as potential reasons. The article suggests that The Pokemon Company may choose to let the incident "blow over" rather than pursue legal action, despite fan outrage over the DHS's co-opting of the beloved Pokemon brand.
