In a heart-warming show of international diplomacy, a Japanese minister gave the president-elect of Chile a Squirtle plushie from the Pokemon series.
In a heartwarming show of international diplomacy crossing over with gaming, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs of Japan, Kiyoshi Odawara presented the Chilean president-elect Gabriel Boric with a stuffed toy of the Pokémon Squirtle. As Japan is the home of Nintendo, the creator of the worldwide hit video game, trading card, and anime series Pokémon, this gift was seen as one of Japanese culture to a proud ally.
Pokémon may have originated in Japan, but there is no question that in the decades since the release of the original Pokémon Red & Blue, the franchise has become a true international phenomenon. When Nintendo and Game Freak revealed the next installment in the Pokémon series last week, Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, many players began to theorize that the new region might be based on the European country of Spain.
This happened: the Japanese chancellor gave to Gabriel Boric a Squirtle plushie 🥰 pic.twitter.com/ijbL5McLGL — Duplakappa March 10, 2022 While it might seem an odd choice of a gift to be exchanged between the leaders of nations it is often customary for leaders to give gifts that are unique or important to their home nations. As Nintendo is the home of Pokémon, it would make a lot of sense for this to be a gift if the president-elect of Chile is a gamer or a fan of the Pokémon series. It certainly seems that Boric is a fan of the gift, even if his smile is hidden below a mask.
Certainly, this exchange will be enjoyed by those Pokémon fans in Chile who are already excited for the Spanish influence on the future Pokémon Scarlet & Violet games. The names of the starters from Pokémon Scarlet & Violet have some loose translations in Spanish, which means that fans like potentially Boric will understand some small jokes or Easter eggs in the game.
