I was playing a free app that had ads after each session (in this case I lost, so I was angry, naturally) and an ad for a ripoff started to play (in Chinese, since I live in Hong Kong and most people are more literate in Chinese). This naturally pissed me off more because, after all, I am, and I'm sure y'all are, fans of Pokemon and wouldn't dare touch a dime that was earned from your fan game, while these (swear words) rip the company off and doesn't have to pay a dime for earning money using the in app purchases.
Then I got so worked up and decided to look up Pokemon (using various translations of the franchises' name) and got more pissed when I noticed that there were apps in traditional AND simplified Chinese, meaning these (swear word slang that defines these shady people as male offspring of female dogs) have a market in both in China and the S.A.R.s + Taiwan.
Then I calmed down and thought: what would my fellow fan game fans and devs have to say about this? What would they think of the designs of the ripoffs' fakemon? What do they think about Hong Kong's culture as a whole, with its complicated, semi-democratic government that is somewhat independent from the Chinese government, its odd culture of idolization of its Tutorial class teachers and its colonial history?
So here's a bunch of screenshots I took from the app store and tell me what you think of it:
