I'm 99% sure it falls under fair use. There are a shit ton of social media videos that use songs and show clips from the anime. Virtually every YT channel uses Nintendo music from their games as background music, too. Searching "Pokemon theme song" on youtube shows dozens of results so they're obviously not taking those down either.

It's not comparable to them taking down fan-works.

Genuinely asking, as I'm not that versed on copyright, why would fan works not be under fair use as long as it's not for profit?

That’s something that fan-fiction authors cling to, but it’s not accurate. Even if it doesn’t make money it’s still infringement. It just means there’s nothing to go after, so IP owners tend to leave them alone.

I see, thanks! Transformative work copyright is always confusing to me.
