With its universal themes of adventure, friendship, and perseverance, it has also been welcomed into the lives of an incredibly diverse fanbase in countries around the world. We are dedicated to leveraging that unique ability and the support we’ve received from our broad community of Trainers to be a positive force in the lives of children and create a more equitable, inclusive world in which all can flourish.”>The money will be donated to a number of organisations that The Pokémon Company has already chosen, but it will also be giving out a "gift of play" to the groups that are able to distribute items such as Pokémon Trading Cards or Pokémon Center products.>And that's not all. The Pokémon Company has said that it may also add to the predetermined list that it has already sketched out, so more organisations will benefit from the donations.>You can find a full list of organisations that The Pokémon Company International will be supporting once the scheme has launched on its official website.Link points to site below.
