Pokemon fans in Hong Kong aren’t pleased with how Nintendo is approaching Pikachu’s name in Sun/Moon. There’s a bit of a change happening with the two games, which will feature traditional and simplified Chinese in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. While different regions have featured their own translations to reflect local language and tradition in the past, that won’t be the case any longer.

Quartz sheds more light on the situation in a new article:

Now Nintendo wants to unify them: Pokémon in Greater China will be officially called ?????, or Jingling Baokemeng in Mandarin (Jingling means “spirit” or “elf,” and Baokemeng is a transliteration of Pokémon). Earlier in Hong Kong, it was ?????, Pet Little Elves (or Spirits), while in Taiwan, it was ????, Magic Babies.
