Pokemon has surprised the public today by posting a clip full of explicit words in their kid-friendly TikTok account. For so long, Pokemon has been attracting children from all corners of the world. For this reason, Nintendo has been keen on sharing content that is suitable to children all over. Surprisingly, the team today accidentally shared a post using a corrupted version of a famous children’s song, ‘If You’re Happy and you know…’ filled with swear words.
Pokemon Accidental TikTok Post With Swear Words
A few hours ago, Nintendo spotted a post with obscene language on the Pokemon TikTok account. Nintendo was prompt in pulling down the clip shortly after the release. However, the damage had already been made and the clip has since been shared widely shared on social media handles.
From the deleted post, the clip displays a Pikachu happily dancing around a Lucario character. In the clip, Pikachu was dancing to the children song, “If you’re happy and you know, clap your hands…’

However, the in the clip the song had a twist. Instead of using the correct words as its always used in the song, the team decided to incorporate a curse word. As the song continued, the voice in the background added words likes f*cking or motherf*cking, an incident that has never been seen before from the franchise.
Although the video has since been deleted from the site, the effect is still active. The franchise has not delivered a comment regarding the incident. Therefore, we are not sure what might have transpired for such an incident to occur.
One of the popular theories is that an employee from the Japanese Pokemon company might have downloaded the song. If so, due to language barrier he may have not been able to clearly establish the exact meaning of every word in the song. Thus sharing the fun video using a song filled with swear words on the Pokemon TikTok account.
