That was really surprisingly terrible. Just bloody awful.
'Hey, what if we make a typical sports product ad, then shoehorn terrible CGI pokemon into the last 5 seconds as a bait and switch... would that make pokemon cool again?'
Lame as hell. Also fun that it opens in Brazil when Nintendo pulled out of there. Good luck to that little Brazilian kid if he actually wants to play Pokemon.
Nothing in pokemon is like athletic training, and playing pokemon is about as far from an athletic activity as is humanly possible. The ad is just discordant as fuck. As a huge pokemon fan for every single one of those 20 years, I'm disappointed by this.
