I noticed that in the Rayman in popular culture article there is a section named "Nestlé's Chocapic 2001 Portuguese commercial" with no images or references, I found out this edit was made by Haruka, who mentioned seeing this ad in this post from 2009.
Now, I recently found out this Chocapic/Nestlé commercial that was uploaded by UpscalePUB in July 20, 2020:
It seems that it's in french and from the year 2002. There is a kid playing a videogame in 2 instances, and on the screen you can see a character that I assume is Rayman (I attached some of the best close ups I could get). At the beginning of the ad there are 2 kids, one on the bed and another playing (like Haruka described), but the video is not in portuguese and is not from 2000/2001, so I assume it is a different version of it. I don't know if this is the commercial that Haruka saw as a kid.
I think it's safe to assume that character on the screen is Rayman, but maybe other people have different thoughts.

Re: Rayman in Nestlé's Chocapic commercial
If it fits the description Haruka made, then it's probably the same one! It just wasn't limited to Portugal after all.

Re: Rayman in Nestlé's Chocapic commercial
I find it funny that in a Rayman 1 commercial, someone asks: "does it bother that critics call this game addcitive?" and then you have this video about video game addicition, with phrases like: "Une nouvelle forme de liberté" and "Allez tout le monde dehors, il fait super beau, allez allez hop".
