Final Fantasy is not historically relevant at all. Video game history, yes, most certainly. But actual world history? Nah. If they did a sub-series on video games, which I hope would fall in the hands of other people (seeing how neither Pete nor Lloyd are that experienced in the field), then yes, Cloud would have a chance. But how would they picture him? With a costume? Goku's costume was already borderline unbearable.

Did they really consider doing a Video Game Rap Battles format, though? I hope not, but I can see it, since most of their fanbase are weird, decoupled kids that want to see Slenderman, Freddy Fazbear and Sasuke in rap battles or that think they have actual relationships with people they never even met.

Pokémon, however, is historically relevant and fits well into the normal ERB. Pikachu and the name "Pokémon" belongs, together with Mario, Lara Croft and Pacman, to the most recognizable video game characters worldwide. Pikachu was embossed on official coins in NZ, there is a protein named after it, Pokémon spiked many controversies, was discussed by highest political tiers and news worldwide, and in the late 90s sparked the handheld video game era and pushed it as something social and communicative. (one punch against Pokémon would be that Tetris and Mario accomplished that feat and Pokémon just jumped on the bandwagon.
