The first Pokemon Super Bowl commercial now available to watch
Pokemon is kicking off its 20-year anniversary in a big way with the franchise's first Super Bowl commercial.
The field for Super Bowl 50 is set, with the Carolina Panthers set to take on the Denver Broncos. And if this game is anything like the last time the Denver Broncos made the Super Bowl, then the commercials will probably prove more entertaining. With that said, a Super Bowl ad is an expensive proposition, usually reserved for top-tier brands from around the world, which this year, will include Pokemon.
The Pokemon Company has released the full 30-second ad set to air on Super Bowl Sunday, February 7, during the third quarter. Shot in Rio de Janeiro, the commercial highlights the very roots of what launched Pokemania in the first place: a quest to catch 'em all and a burning desire to be the very best.
A 30-second cut is set to air during the big game, but there's also an extended cut of the commercial and that can be seen in its entirety below.

Holy fuck, 20 years?

Pokken Tournament in March on Wii U, Pokemon GO on mobile devices from the Ingress people (which is going to take over the freakin' world, mark my words), and a very-heavily rumored main 3DS game.

Mobile. Just like Ingress, but with Pokemon.

Hadn't seen this before. I see now. You have to roam around, like Ingress, to capture Pokemon. And I assume it'll require proximity to trade and battle other players.
Wonder how they'll handle this for kids. Not like we want younger kids running around town trying to catch Pokemon. At least, I guess I see Ingress being played by adults more than kids. I tried it once, but the walking around bit was just too much of a hassle.-

I thought I've heard of some stories where Ingress players would get physical to keep people out of their area. But, ya, people using the game to lure kids is scary as hell. Hopefully it'll be local VR, like you have to look under your own bed, the kitchen cupboard, etc. Hopefully they won't enforce the proxy for battle thing. You're right, that could get so wrong so fast.

in our area, we have players who will figure out where you work and try to report you to your bosses for playing during work hours (even when you aren't). one guy chartered a helicopter to take out someone's guardian portal before they got Onyx on it.

yeah. overall, ingress is shitloads of fun.
last weekend, myself and a group of players from olympia, tacoma and seattle went to Anderson Island for the day. drove around, tailgate picnics in a couple of spots. spent the entire day having fun.
because of the portal keys some of us had on hand, we were able to throw crappy little fields across the puget sound into olympia and up towards bellingham. someone on the other side got pissed enough about it that he drove from olympia, wa to lakebay, wa (1+ hour drive) to kill the portal we were using up there. and then he drove back home. just... wow. alright duder.-

yah i quit playing... it was fun for a few months. But the time commitment was way too big to really make any difference.

anything you do in the game makes a difference, regardless of how "small" you perceive it to be. just taking down one portal a week is a difference.

yah it just got tiring... my neighborhood was heavily enlightened controlled. Never had enough gear to make much of a dent. Not to mention I was the only smurf that really played in my neighborhood. After they figured out I lived around here, I kinda figured they put a few frogs on recharger watch or something. If I started attacking anything suddenly they would be fully recharged before I could take them down.
I only managed to take out everything maybe twice and that was when me an another agent hit the entire neighborhood at around 2am in the morning.

The excitement for one of the Super Bowl's most beloved components — the commercials — is already so heightened that there are advertisements for the advertisements.
