Before you get too hyped there don’t appear to be any actual pokemon in this world:
The series will tell the story of Madoka Akagi, a young girl who moves to Tokyo and becomes enthralled with the world of Pokémon when her mother gifts her a Game Boy and a copy of Pokémon Red.
BlackBerry still exists and is a pretty big publicly traded company, they just don’t do phones anymore.
Does BlackBerry exist or does RIM?
I agree with what you’re saying but the BB example doesn’t fit for me.
Research in Motion (RIM) was renamed to BlackBerry Limited in 2013.
Go figure. I stand to be corrected.
That’s fine, still feels icky to me personally to watch movies glorifying real life corporations. Not really my idea of entertainment.
Check out BlackBerry.com, that brand name recognition definitely isn’t going to waste. They just serve the enterprise sector now.
Makes sense. Even back in its hardware heyday, BlackBerry leaned on its strong security reputation to mainly market itself to business/enterprise users and was the only hardware trusted by high security sectors of the US government.
