Pokémon is certainly popular, but it never fails to impress me how many people actually play the game. The Pokémon Company has released a video of two NFL players battling in the franchise’s trading card game. Richard Sherman and Johnny Hekker both demonstrate some excellent knowledge on the series, the two obviously having a history with the franchise. Check out the video below.

It’s like a cringefest.
Hahaha awesome!
“Why do you think I wear number 25???” That’s so awesome! I wore 25 in baseball too :P
||It’s scripted, my logic is undeniable…||
Damn their acting sucks, couldn’t they just have asked anyone on the NFL if anyone plays it and got them for the commercial?
and this is news why?
I don’t think I saw a single card from the set being advertised.
TPCi Marketing HQ:
“What should we show viewers to convince them to buy our latest product?”
“How about a few GX cards?”
“That’s silly, if we show people something new they won’t understand it. Didn’t you see what happened to the Wii U?”
“What about some of the M EXs that GX cards are supposed to replace?”
“Great idea!”
“Yea, maybe Nintendo could’ve sold more Wii Us if they had our brilliant idea and used a Wii in the adverts!”
Oh Nintendo, you and your marketing strategy.

Did you see how scripted it was?!
