Forums - Nintendo - Pokemon Super Bowl Commercial is uploaded!

Pokemon Company has uploaded their Super Bowl Commercial onto Youtube recently! This is the extended footage though and only 30 sec of it will be aired.

From http://mynintendonews.com/2016/01/25/check-out-the-new-pokemon-super-bowl-commercial/

“For 20 years, the Pokémon world has inspired fans to train hard and have fun,” said J.C. Smith, senior director of Consumer Marketing at The Pokémon Company International. “This ad is reflective of that passion, and I can’t think of a bigger stage to share this story than the Super Bowl.”

What do you think of this multimillion ad?

Yep. It will be Pokemon Go. And if it releases the same day, it will be massive in hours.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

TPCI is just the best at making videos full of Easter Eggs, I just love to see them again and again until I "catch" them all

Is it just me or is this ad a bit light on... well... advertising?

The Pokemon don't come on until near the end and then the only thing they advertise is a Pokemon website?

I guess they are just focusing on advertising the brand in general. Wish they included Pokemon Go in the end but this is the whole extended ad. 

From http://mynintendonews.com/2016/01/25/check-out-the-new-pokemon-super-bowl-commercial/ again:

"The Pokémon Company International today unveiled a new TV commercial that will air during Super Bowl 50 on Sunday, February 7... A 30-second version of the ad will be aired at the beginning of the third quarter of Super Bowl 50. An extended version can be viewed at Pokemon.com/20."

I do like the diversity in this commercial though lol

It's buildng up for Pokmeon Go, the Pokemon iPhone/Android game. It had a trailer previously that was in a similar style to this.

That's sort of how most Super Bowl commercials are. Remember the Coke commercial that had nothing to do with Coke last year? Or the Budweiser horses? Just two big examples. Doritos is the only one that actually incorporates their brand really.

 

It's fine for what it is. If they add a little bit to it at the end where it sort of just jankily cuts off (as if they're hiding a bit) then maybe we're talking something big. But I think the goal here is to remind people that Pokemon exists. That alone will spark so much brand interest in people who haven't even thought about it in fifteen years; hence why they're doing a Super Bowl commercial. 



You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt!  I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading.  After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!

Hmmmmmm expected to see more pokemon related stuff on the advertisement.But it was really good nonetheless!

That Stadium part though.... Pokemon Stadium 3 confirmed!!!



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I kinda would've liked to see more Pokemon but pretty solid ad nonetheless. Hoping that it does end up being an ad for Pokemon Go.

Pause at 0:21 to see a Nikdoking chess piece

Did no one else noticed the two football players with 19 and 96 running together and the words "Like no One Ever Was?" above the exit doorway?
