Visiting the Yasukuni Shrine.
Creatures Inc., a Japanese development studio heavily associated with The Pokémon Company and Game Freak, has caused upset amongst fans of the Pokémon franchise in China and Korea.
Best known for producing the series' trading card game and toys, and helping with the development of video games, Creatures came under fire this week for tweeting images of a studio visit to the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo. Creatures employees seemingly visited the shrine for Hatsumode (a Japanese New Year tradition where people visit Shinto shrines that are close to where they live or work), sharing pictures of the team enjoying the visit online. The tweet has since been deleted, but has been captured and re-shared by other users.
