Pick two
friendly reminder that the title is bait
There are tensions in China between those who speak Cantonese, and everyone else.
There is a weird stogma towards those who speak it, and some suggest that Cantonese speakers are oppressed. Pokemon games always supported Cantonese, up until now. Sun and Moon won't be supporting it at all.
This has some Cantonese speaking citizens a little riled.
The name change isn't the real issue, they're just using it as a platform against the PRC imposing Mandarin on Hong Kong
