I see the Splatoon ads all the time, even at hours most people are in bed. Here in Australia, we ended up the the infamous Kid/Squid ads.
But the problem with pandering to genders is due to a lot of games for girls are shovelware titles people with a brain would avoid.
And video games are not toys, and shouldn't be treated as such. Same argument as why you should never call animation a genre.
Frankly, I don't like ads for mobile games on TV. I think they should be banned, due to most I've seen being freemium trash.
