I thought this company was innocent and never thought they could be so evil. They had an incident where pictures of the Ku Klux Klan were posted to their official Google Maps page. Their support did not respond aside from the generic messages sent to reviewers. No clarification or apology was made. These images depicted White Kyurem and Black Kyurem as members of the Ku Klux Klan, in addition to Zekrom. I heard about the controversy surrounding these characters and would never think the company would handle a situation like this. They even claimed that the group was "nonviolent" which is completely false. First it was the resemblance characters like White Kyurem had with the Ku Klux Klan, but now it is apparently okay to let these characters exist in a kid's game and tell our kids that this behavior is okay. If the company cared, those pictures would have never been posted, the comments would have never been made, and those characters would have never seen the light of day. This can no longer be described as an "accident" because it has gone too far. Stay far away from this company for your safety.

Tip for consumers:
The support could have been more helpful instead of sending hurtful messages or not responding at all.

Zekrom and Reshiram are anti-Islamic symbols. Reshiram symbolizes burning cross hate symbol....

Zekrom looks like the Ku Klux Klan Knight Hawk, having eyes like a nazi flag. It was emphasized...
