Remember earlier this year, when The Pokémon Company jumped aboard the ASMR train with a video which aimed at "those who have always wondered how Grimer sounds when it moves"? Well, we're getting another helping of relaxing audio goodness thanks to arguably the most famous Pokémon of all.
"Here’s our ASMR offering that will have you spend a lazy sunny afternoon with the playful Pikachu romping around the room," reads the video's description – and it's pretty much spot-on. In the 15-minute clip, Pikachu potters about for your aural delectation.
If you like what you see (and hear), then there's a whole series of these videos on YouTube. It's also worth noting that Nintendo has released other ASMR videos in the past, including a 30-minute offering which shows someone playing a Switch and making a sandwich. Yum.

I don't get it. Is this art?
@Yanina To be honest I just thought ASMR or whatever it is was just something strange guys tomas tank over , so pokemon asmr must be furfilling a really niche fetish for like 3 people.
@Yanina ASMR videos, from what I can tell, are meant to be that minimalistic, where there's not much in the way of music or obscuring noise, giving way to sound effects of simple concepts or people doing something simple. I'm not sure if it's meant to be art, but I'm thinking that it's meant to be more relaxing, if anything else.

Google is your friend.
Not really an ASMR with this ear-piercing "Pika Pika" every Nth second... 🤮
I thought ASMR things were supposed to be relaxing?
I don't mean to disrespect anyone but I was under the impression that ASMR was associated with something cringe. Blame Twitch.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhh
@heiko People these days are so easily influenced, don't research or form their own opinions anymore.
@HorridCrow thank you. But I was being ironic.
@ShockFire10 I guess something in my brain is different then. I find Pikachus noises rather annoying in this case.
@KomrathDE Exactly my thought after watching 30 seconds
@kerr9000 Congrats! You won my most ignorant comment of the year award!
I’m getting some strong Hey You Pikachu flashbacks from this.
So this is what they are doing instead of working on the next game...?
More binaural without the ASMR.
I'm sorry, "latest"?
@drewber2635 Have a Tomas the Tank and 2 paracetamol while watching your ASMR I am sure you'll feel better. Seriously relax and be less tense you'll live longer, try gaining a sense of humour it might also help.
ASMR and Pokemon.
Is this supposed to appeal to the sort of guy that has a fleshlight inside of his build-a-bear pikachu?
@HorridCrow or maybe they're not interested in strange people whispering on their ear, at all.
That has to suck for some pokemon. Many are as smart or smarter than humans. And all they get is a ball or a fluffy toy. I feel like I’d have to pry my Switch from my Abra’ hands. I’m sure they likely think humans are needlessly complicated but, you can’t tell me there aren’t a few pokemon that look at a ball and are like “let me know when you buy a TV...”.
Oh Lord I thought this was gonna be hey pikachu thank lord.
