The statement reads, “Our hearts go out to all those who have been impacted by the devastating wildfires in Hawaii. To support relief efforts, The Pokémon Company International is making an immediate monetary donation of $200,000 to its partner at GlobalGiving through its Hawaii Wildfire Relief Fund.”
While the announcement was met with gratitude from many fans, others expressed concerns about hosting the event in a region grappling with adversity. Some individuals emphasized that now might not be an ideal time to gather a significant number of participants and tourists in an area currently affected by natural disasters.
