The news about the former Pokemon executive came amid a busy time for The Pokemon Company, with several game and product releases coming down the pipeline. The lawsuit was filed with the King County Superior Court on Thursday, July 30, with the Pokemon Company listed as a defendant alongside the former staffer. One of the plaintiff's attorneys, Alex Dietz, said that The Pokemon Company needed to take steps to protect children. The Pokemon Company did not comment on the case, but acknowledged that Tsai was no longer employed by the company following his January arrest. It remains to be seen how the lawsuit against Tsai will proceed and what The Pokemon Company's involvement will be.
