Before you get too hyped there don't appear to be any actual pokemon in this world:

The series will tell the story of Madoka Akagi, a young girl who moves to Tokyo and becomes enthralled with the world of Pokémon when her mother gifts her a Game Boy and a copy of Pokémon Red.

To be fair, Tetris had a really interesting story, and was about the real-life licensing issues that arose as a result. That said, the film's storytelling pales in comparison to the more accurate gaming historian video on the same stuff.

Barbie also had a grounded, introspective view of its product, and was actually quite critical of Barbie. Though this one ends up being more effective as a commercial, it also had a lot of good social commentary on our society, and on the impacts of the ideals of sexism on both men and women alike.

The rest were definitely just sucking off their respective brands though.
