"official trailer" for the mod - I don't see the problem here.
They probably could've just made a more honest title like "Portal: Revolution - Official Trailer for the fan mod". The title is longer and more unwieldy, but at least it'd be very clear
Your point is worthless. Not everyone needs context hand fed at all moments, and your misunderstanding of the title is anecdotal and unique to very few people.
Edit: changed wording because it wasnt one single person making the argument
I wouldn't say worthless, that's hyperbolic, but it is far beyond necessary, just saying that it could've been clearer, definitively.
In your example where literally every detail has been changed, including the type of product being produced, that makes sense.
The video says, "Portal Revolution Official Trailer." What that says to me is "This is the official trailer" presumably released by the creator of Portal Revolution (which is a community mod).
Even in the worst possible way I can try to interpret that, calling it "manipulative" seems like a huge stretch.
If Valve somehow thinks it's the same thing as your Pokemon example, I'm sure we'll see some action taken.
