Pokémon Puts Out Statement After Stripping A Player Of Win
Earlier this month, a competitive Pokémon Go player called Firestar73 was stripped of a win at an Orlando tournament for what was deemed an “unsportsmanlike” pop-off. After weeks of fans flooding The Pokémon Company’s social channels to demand a repeal of the ruling, the company has finally issued a statement. Spoilers: It will not be reverting its decision. The company’s statement omits player names, but references both Firestar and an incident with the Trading Card Game player Makani, who was also given a penalty at the Orlando Regional Championships for dropping his headphones on the game board.
