On its official website, The Pokémon Company explained his choice as follows:
The Pokémon Company International has taken the opportunity to return the warm welcome to communities since its first introduction. Pokémon is a brand that has been spreading joy and capturing the imaginations of children around the world for 25 years now.

We are committed to leveraging this ability to make it a positive force in children’s lives and to create a fairer, more inclusive world in which we can all thrive.
The Pokémon Company International unveiled a 5-year plan to support organizations that improve the lives of children around the world and social equity.
