Celebrities Who Play Pokémon

I just came across this story about a Denver Broncos linebacker who enjoys Pokémon. And not "enjoys" in the sense that he played it as a kid in high school and remembers it fondly. No, "enjoys" in the sense that he would rather relax in his hotel room and play Pokémon before the Super Bowl than go to wild pre-Super Bowl parties with his teammates. Honestly, going to a "wild party" right before the biggest game of your career sounds like a horrible decision, so good for Mr. Irving having a sensible head on his shoulders.

Anyone have any other stories of actors, politicians, professional athletes, or other celebrities who are avid Pokémon fans?

Spoiler: show


Besides Nakagawa Shouko.

I can't remember who it was, but there was an NFL player who challenged /vp/ to Gen IV Wi-Fi battles a few weeks back and had a 14 match streak before being narrowly defeated.

Yeah, Nate Irving is kinda awesome. And that's without my Broncos bias.

Also, Jeri, you're thinking of Brennan Williams, an Offensive Tackle for the Texans.
