googled it, not one thats willing to admit it.

but weird al might be one, since his song "polkamon" was the only famous song to actually feature most of the 251 pokemon (at the time)

Hulk Hogan was involved in some kind of Pokemon promotion thingy. This was years ago though. But there was a quote of him saying something about the values of Pokemon, like friendship and teamwork...

As for the Sprouse twins... Is "Po-kay-mon" really that incorrect? "kay" is close to "keh."

(Then again, since this series is "Pocket Monsters", "Poke" should sound like "pocket" without the "T", but no one does that...)

Yes. If you pronounce it wrong, it's wrong.

Unfortunately, coming from Pocket Monsters doesn't mean it has to sound like the individual parts.

I mean, yeah, it's incorrect, but it's so incorrect that it's keeping you from believing they like Pokemon? Which this...

I'll believe it when they pronounce it correctly.

... implies.

I guess there must be a few celebrities who like Pokemon as their "guilty pleasure", but they don't express it lest they embarrass themselves.

I only know of a Dutch VJ called Valerio Zeno that plays Pokemon, he's in the Dutch commercial for Black/White, but he's still in his twenties, so not that weird.

For the English commercials, a group called One Direction (from the X Factor, like American Idol or something like that) featured in one. But then, they just might have been forced to do the commercial.
