China's biggest social media app is currently advertising a knockoff Pokemon game to users as soon as they log on

This is quite surprising. The social media app Weibo is absolutely massive in China, with millions upon millions of users logging in every single day. With the app's popularity, you'd think the team behind the service would be well-versed in what advertisements are appearing on their platform. That doesn't appear to be the case, as users are currently being hit with a Pokemon rip-off ad.

This isn't just some random ad that pops up while you're going about your business on Weibo. This is an ad that plays every single time you open up the app! How in the world a bootleg Pokemon advert made it to the login page for Weibo is the question all users are currently asking. Hopefully Weibo staff are already working to yank the ad from their service.
