Its like you go to McDonald's and ask for Flat Tire replacement. Very wrong.

This is what the article said it will be:
Pikachu was originally translated as 比卡超 (Bei-kaa-chyu) in Hong Kong. Now it is named 皮卡丘 (Pikaqiu). While the name 皮卡丘 in Mandarin sounds similar to the global name Pikachu (as it was always called in China and Taiwan), it reads as Pei-kaa-jau in Cantonese, which doesn’t sound the same at all.

couldnt nintendo have just . . . .gave to translations for hong kong and china so nobody gets upset?
