We may as well just stop reporting news for the rest of the day because the content we've all been waiting for – no, desperately praying for – has finally arrived.
The Pokémon Company has released the latest video in its ASMR series (that's 'autonomous sensory meridian response' or 'tingly feels by sounds' for those not in the know), and this time it features none other than Piplup. For the whole half an hour, Piplup can be seen rolling around a living room, laughing and giggling as it plays and just generally having a fantastic time. Until it finally falls asleep, that is.
We've been sitting and listening to the video while typing this and we can't say it's helping us to relax. Having said that, have we mentioned that it's half an hour of a Piplup flopping about all over the place? Because that's worth a watch regardless.
So, sit back, put some headphones on, and experience the video for yourself. You're very welcome. Or we're sorry. Whichever applies.

I love it didn't know I needed it but I did...
This timeline I swear
It's all cute fun and games until you return and find your bed, carpet and hardwood floor full of feathers and baby penguin droppings.
Edit: having watched a bit of it... It's kinda sad? the way it turns to look at the camera like it wants the person to wake up.
This is the loudest ASMR I've ever heard. Does Nintendo not understand what ASMR is or something? Lol
Thank goodness he wasn't licking rubber ears.
Who wouldn't want a Piplup in their house?
Ow my favourite starter is so cute
Kinda creepy. It just sounds like a Japanese girl making weird noises and enacting those actions in a quiet room.
I mean, it's not really ASMR. Which is good, because ASMR is mostly stupid. But, it's ... something. What a world we live in. =P
I love Piplup, but this is both cute and disturbing.
I feel like Pokémon have been trying to "get in with the kids" by following certain trends. I mean, didn't they make a tiktok account earlier this year?
Not saying this is a bad thing, just pointing out how unorthodox it is.
This was far more entertaining than the video games award show.
@Luigi05 yes , cause Lord knows pokemon has ever had nothing to do with kids. WOW!
I feel like we're missing a whole other character who is supposed to take care of Piplup. Hmmm.....
Jesus, the amount of content that they can (and will) make for Pokemon, truly is endless, this is a 30 minute ASMR video for a single Pokemon of 900+ we currently are at, and not gonna lie, it's pretty damn adorable, my eyes can't look away from it. I'm not saying I expect an official ASMR video for every Pokemon, but stuff like this just kinda makes me realize that they have no shortage of things that they can make for the Pokemon franchise, and they do seem to making more content than ever these days at that.
They made more of these before, but knowing they made another…that’s good to know.
"Loud ASMR" should be a crime. It's kind of hilarious how the Pokemon company has no understanding of how it works. Too lazy to actually hire real ASMRtists.
