More like Google is doing their marketing for them... But this is a great idea however, (even though its a joke) Nintendo should do something like this for real and gain ad rev

I doubt it... Google does stuff like this all the time but it doesn't mean they get paid... Although they do need Nintendo's approval in order to do this but I doubt Nintendo paid anything for it

Well at the bottom of the screen towards the end at least I noticed it says 

Nintendo/pokemon/gamefreak/2014.   or something to that extent.  So regardless Nintendo got some form of money out of this or was part of it in some way.

 

But ha, pretty good April Fools joke.  If not an aprils fools joke, I want to go jogging tomorrow and see in any pokemon in my area.  lol.

Speaking of April Fools.  Guess tomorrow I'll ignore the internet.  Good day to sit down and read a good book.

I couldn't find even one, was trying 5min ago, maybe it's only for US version of the GM? (can't think why I can't find one when I go to a spot where one was supposed to be).
