Fans draw Pokémon in protest gear to support Hong Kong
Over the last week there's been an outpouring of Hong Kong support from Pokémon fans on Twitter, as artists have been redesigning Pokémon in protest gear under the the hashtag #PokemonForHK.
Similarly to what fan artists did with Overwatch's Mei, popular Pokémon are being drawn with face masks, umbrellas, flags and various symbology from the Chinese protests.
The art is being collated in a thread dubbed the Bauhinia region Pokédex - in reference to the flower on the modified version of the Hong Kong flag - and artists are drawing their interpretations of what roles the Pokémon would assume.
