I just heard the usual "praise Satan", "kill your parents" and "drugs are fun" that are in everything when played backwards.

EvilHomer - 2016-09-24 Didn't hear the Leo Burnett part, but I dinstinctly heard "4katd", without prompting or prior knowledge that is what I was listening for.

EvilHomer - 2016-09-24 Looking further, it appears as if the nerds who are "in the know" about this incident believe it is legitimate and intentional, with TVTropes even going so far as to claim that 4kids admitted to it. I have not yet been able to locate an original source, whether from the voice actor himself or from some other employee, so I cannot confirm the internet hive-mind's claims of premeditated intent - but it *could* be legit?

Can't verify what the actual question was, and it is possible Mr Stuart was answering in jest - but it's a source, and it does corroborate the rumor.

4kids responded to this by calling the Devil a donut and replacing Leo Burnett with a water gun.

So apparently Leo Burnett was the ad agency that first hit upon the idea of using cartoons to sell products to kids. As far as I know, they're not directly connected with Pokemon. But the more you know.
