Screenshot : The Pokémon CompanyThe world is terrible and everything is on fire, but heading into the weekend, you can at least try to stifle the urge to scream with two new Pokémon ASMR videos.
Normally, I’m not a huge fan of ASMR (cooking ASMR is the absolute worst).
When Apple released its own ASMR videos a few months ago, I wanted to stuff cotton balls in my ears.
That said, I listened to both Pokémon videos and for the first time, found myself kinda getting what the ASMR hype is all about.
More likely it’s because watching cute Pokémon is a form of stress relief itself.
