The newspaper is an obsolete medium of information, therefore it reflects an attitude of rejection towards progress as well as implying an excessive feeling of nostalgia from the consumer.
The Switch is completely turned off, showing not only how little new pokémon games have to offer but also how little interest the average consumer of these games has in video games.
The Pokémon Sword box is positioned in a very contrived way so that the product can be easily identified, implying a twisted and distorted sense of pride in the act of consuming products.
And then there's Pepe, who shows a somewhat perverse emotion of satisfaction on his face, but yet he doesn't seem to show any interest in playing with the Switch or the new pokémon game. What's more, at that moment he prepares to watch TV, hence the remote in his hand. We can deduce that the satisfaction comes not from the fact of playing with the pokémon games, but from knowing that by buying the product he is contributing to the decline of a franchise loved by many but that he really doesn't care at all. Basically he bought the product driven by a hatred towards the fans who really love Pokémon passionately, a hatred caused by the lack of understanding or envy towards the real fans, who are able to feel an emotion that for this Pepe is something totally unknown, passion.
