此次中国年轻网民的集体行动并非个案。从小红书大"对账"，到"斩杀线"引发讨论；从西方奢侈品牌因 文化冒犯引发众怒，到部分外企因涉台问题面临质疑，年轻人在诸多热点事件中扮演了重要角色。这背 后是年轻一代民族自豪感的觉醒，是文化自信的外在彰显，也是中国市场日益成熟的重要标志。他们以 行动证明，过去所谓在西方一度流行的"中国年轻人将被西方文化洗脑"的预判，完全错了。新时代的中 国青年是心中有家国、眼中有是非、肩上有担当的一代。 一些人辩称，该活动是由游戏玩家自主申请、官方并不直接提供场地和人手，因此与宝可梦和任天堂无 关。这种说法根本站不住脚。活动信息能通过后台审核，堂而皇之地出现在宝可梦官网上，它就有无法 推卸的责任。而且，这不是宝可梦首次在靖国神社问题上"踩线"。2016年，其手游《Pokemon Go》将 游戏道馆设于靖国神社；2019年，宝可梦制作公司员工公开"拜鬼"。这些举动都曾引发批评。人们有理 由怀疑，这一次很可能并非"偶然疏漏"。 自中日建交以来，即使在双边关系"冰冻三尺"的时候，文化交流也始终是两国交往的一泉活水。任天堂 于上世纪90年代进入中国大陆市场，在中国年轻人中掀起游戏旋风，这既给任天堂公 ...

第三，宝可梦不能一边从中国赚钱，一边损害中国利益。缺乏历史责任感的日本公司，中国玩家不可能 容忍。 2016年，实景互动的宝可梦游戏"Pokemon Go"在日本上线，由于以玩家所在地区实景地图作为游戏地 图，很多地标性建筑更容易成为玩家聚集区。当年宝可梦官方居然将"道馆"（游戏中进行宝可梦挑战的 重要地点）和"补给站"放在了靖国神社内，成为了日本玩家的"必经之路"。中国玩家发现这一情况后， 丝毫没有给游戏官方面子，游戏发售第一天，就将位于靖国神社的道馆"占领"。 然而宝可梦吃一堑并未长一智。2019年，宝可梦的股东之一Creature公司一批员工公然参拜靖国神社， 并且在推特上大张旗鼓宣传。在受到大量网友批评后，该公司也仅是"删帖跑路"，并没有明确的道歉态 度。 但这一次，宝可梦恐怕很难再蒙混过关。（补壹刀 环球时报 视频/河畔视频） #宝可梦踩靖国神社红线不是初犯#【#任天堂宝可梦至今未道歉#】日本知名游戏动漫IP宝可梦官网近日 发布消息，计划于1月31日在供奉日本甲级战犯的靖国神社举办相关活动，这件事在中外社交平台上迅 速引发关注，"宝可梦靖国神社"相关话题一度冲上热搜。 对这起事件，任天堂和宝可梦至今 ...
