A special Pokemon CM reserved for that holiest of American events the Super Bowl has been revealed early courtesy of the official Pokemon channel, apparently emphasizing determination and having little to do with Pokemon itself despite the CM commemorating the franchise’s 20th anniversary.
The CM:
Considering how popular the franchise already is, just how much more notoriety can be squeezed out of this prime advertising spend is open to some doubt.

What USA watchers thought with this video: "Wow, so Pokémon was acknowledged and used for a Super Bowl commercial? Not many get that privilege, they must be proud!"
What some people elsewhere thought: "Huh, so they deemed Super Bowl important enough for Pokémon to spend time and money on them? Who would have thought."
What the grand majority of watchers thought: "...what the actual fuck is a "super bowl"..?? A cereal bowl with a cape?"
But Dad, There's just no way I can do that! Its not possible.
...Why did even buy this 3DS? It's not fair.
Where the hell did they find a tube tv? No one has those anymore
I thought it was a coca cola commercial rip off at the beginning. They should have trolled the fanbase by having one trainer sent out a magikarp, metapod, and dunsparce going up against a wailord, arceus, and mewtwo...and winning...that would have been hilarious.
I can't wait until you guys see the retarded as fuck new game they're making (something about pikachu and detectives)
Well, they are releasing red, blue, and yellow in Japan packed with 2DS, which is not available there.
So, yeah, original 3 rereleased for 3 DS.
football is crap and fixed. pokemon is also garbage. it's like a shit sandwich in here man
For the background music they chose "And Now For a Taste of Things to Come" from the first Mortal Kombat movie.
So, has Ash Ketchum won the Pokemon League? Can he do that?
I can run toward a rocky cliff, barefoot.
I can disrupt multiple chess games at once.
I can play football.
I can stare at the Jumbotron and a bunch of billboards for a long period of time.
I can watch TV. In the dark.
Congrats on the retardation.
knuclear200x? I remember you from the old G4TV forums
You can do those, but would you waste your time doing them?
wat?
These are the little pokemon references I (with help from others!) could find so far:
1. Outfit of boy running at the start strikingly resembles Youngster Joey
2. 0:02 Red and Blue carpets on the right of the screen references to Pokemon Red and Blue which were the first games to be released in the US. Also, the boy's shirt is yellow possibly hinting at Pokemon Yellow
3. 0:12 Boy runs past a truck with the writings "4 15 96" which was the day Mew was first distributed in Japan. There are some ancient writings on the truck referencing to the Ancient Mew card and these all acknowledge the 'Mew under a truck' rumour
4. 0:15 Location on the tv says "KANTO"
5. 0:15 If you look to the right of the "Breaking", it says "Roadblock on Route 12", referencing to Snorlax blocking the road in the Gen 1 games
6. 0:15 Beside (3), it writes "Crowds flock to see rare fossil discovered at Mount Moon", referencing Dome and Helix fossils
7. 0:15 "Learn to SURF HM03" on a poster below the tv
8. 0:16 "SURF' poster appears again on far left of screen
9. 0:22 Black NIDOKING chess piece
10. 0:29 Football captain's number is "20" referencing to Pokemon20
11. 0:33 Blaine's Volcano Badge on the helmets
12. 0:36 The 2 numbers on the backs of 2 of the players make up "1996", the year where Pokemon started in Japan
13. 0:37 "LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS" Lyrics from the original Pokemon theme song
14. 0:40 Moomoo Milk advertisement on the bottom left of screen
15. 0:40 Rare Candy on a pink background on the right of the screen
16. 0:40 'GAME CORNER' on the bottom right of the screen possibly referencing to the Game Corners in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh
more to come
In the trailer you can see the region on the TV is Kanto, "Learn to Surf HM03", a Nidoking Chess Piece, Volcano Badge on the Football Helmets, 2 players 19 and 96 (1996) running through the door, "Like no one ever was" written on top of the door, Rare Candy neon sign, and a Moomoo Milk ad.
Nice catch on those easter eggs!
Thanks GameXplain
Watched this last night.
This commercial is the most pants-on-head retarded Nintendo commercial yet.
Of course, what else would we expect from a company whose regional president is responsible for such great marketing ideas such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnwbES0MLxo
As I'm only seeing Kanto Pokemon. Lemme guess, re-remakes of pokemon red and blue?
