    Dunno if you have this at home, but over in the UK Nintendo are going Pokémon mad, just look at the free Metro from Monday:

    I've also seen bus shelter posters of a Snivy hiding behind a tree with some flowers and a Tepig getting off a tube, but I didn't have a camera device with me at the time

    Honestly I think it's great that Nintendo aren't using bright irritating advertisements for this series. The players aren't retarded 5 year old boys afterall...

    There is a website available.

    Has one seen anything like this in Ireland?

    Unfortunately no :( All we got is a TV ad informing us of Victini.

    I thought I saw a bus shelter ad of a Trubbish drinking a beer but when I got closer it turned out to be Mickey Rourke.

    I'm kinda creeped out that it's showing nothing but horrific tsunami aftermath and Pokémon...

    First thing I thought was, "Tsunami hits Japan... Pokémon everywhere."
    I was about to accuse the Metro of being HIGHLY insensitive but well, turns out I'm the ****. :/

    The thing is I actually thought that the Mickey Rourke ad was serious for a sec, until I crossed the road to take a closer look at it one day on a bus stop :P

    You're not the only one to take that view. Someone uploaded those photos onto Kotaku. I can't post a direct link as the iPod doesn't want to open that page. It's in a news story called something like "Tsunami Disaster promoted by Pokemon"
