Innocent citizens of a tiny town in Switzerland were recently terrorised by a human-sized Pokemon throwing giant ‘Pokeballs’ at them.
Pikachu fights back
Part of a marketing gambit to promote Basel, a city in Switzerland, the video featuring four giant Pikachus chasing after citizens of Basel in the city’s key locations, garnered 4 million views on YouTube and over 92 million views on the city’s official Facebook page.
The video then directs viewers to the city’s website which highlights Basel’s Pokestops, Pokemon Go events and promotions.

According to Adweek, Basel’s tourism board together with its digital marketing agency Fadeout worked on the campaign to attract more young travellers to the city.
