I don't think this is the superbowl commercial they will show the 7th, is too long... Pay a 1:10m ad for nothing to actually sell or announce? Seems odd.
This is why I want Augmented Reality to be a big thing.
Oh I just noticed the two football players run out and make 1996 with the backs of their uniforms
Commercial seems to cut off at the end (especially the percussion audio), suggesting this isn't the full version. We'll probably get a cool reveal during the Super Bowl in the full version of this ad.
does a 1:10 commercial imply that they're not showing us 20 seconds at the end? or does CBS allow ad buys not in multiples of :15?
The Pokémon Company International today unveiled a new TV commercial that will air during Super Bowl 50 on Sunday, February 7. The ad, shot in Rio de Janeiro, celebrates the millions of Pokémon fans around the world, encourages them to enjoy the Pokémon references hidden in the ad and Train On. 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 http://bit.ly/1KzQloU.
30 Second version according to the PR. This is the longer one.
Well there it is.30 Second version on the 7th according to the PR. This is the longer one.
That didn't make any sense.
It shows person doing stuff completely unrelated to Pokemon, running, being good at Chess and football. Then the next person watches and says "I can do that". No where in those video clips is Pokemon even hinted at. It's more like the person is saying that can become great at Chess or Football.
They wasted their money in my opinion.

What a complete waste of time. The perfect opportunity to get Pokemon back into the mainstream, especially with all the buzz around GO in the media and various sites (For the first time ever my Facebook feed was full of Pokemon when that was announced last year) and they threw it away for some generic commercial. Like, that's fine, it makes the public conscious of Pokemon again but the Super Bowl is one of the biggest platforms (if not the biggest) to get something in the eye of the mainstream, and they chose this? Like one of the easier posters said, just the GO logo would've changed this completely.
Pokemon games coming out this year:
Pokemon Go
Poken Fighters
Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow for virtual console.
And possibly Pokemon Z?
The Pokémon Company International today unveiled a new TV commercial that will air during Super Bowl 50 on Sunday, February 7. The ad, shot in Rio de Janeiro, explores ambition, drive, and training, concepts that every Pokémon Trainer is familiar with. It celebrates the millions of Pokémon fans around the world who will enjoy identifying all of the hidden Pokémon references in the ad. It ends with a call to action for all those who strive to achieve their dreams: Train On. 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.
“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.”
Made by Omelet, a Los Angeles-based creative agency, the Pokémon 20th TV commercial will also be featured in the upcoming CBS special Super Bowl’s Greatest Commercials. This annual show, which will air on February 2 at 8:00 p.m. ET, revisits fan-favorite commercials from past Super Bowls and also gives a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the Pokémon Super Bowl advertisement.
The ad is part of a yearlong campaign celebrating 20 years of Pokémon. First introduced in Japan in 1996 with the video games Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green for the Nintendo Game Boy system, Pokémon has delighted fans of all ages around the world for two decades. With more than 275 million video games sold worldwide, 21.5 billion TCG cards shipped to 74 countries, and an animated series spanning 18 seasons, Pokémon is one of the most successful entertainment brands in the world. More details can be found at Pokemon.com/20. Fans visiting the site throughout the year will find information about monthly Mythical Pokémon distributions, retail events, special products, messages from some of Pokémon’s biggest fans, and the upcoming Pokémon Photo Booth app.
Pokémon. Twenty years. Train On.
Yeah. Well it'd be the first time in quite a while we had two years in a row without a main series pokemon game.
This is airing during the Superbowl? They are spending that kind of money to not reveal anything? Huh
Why would they reveal things during an American sports game?
Why would they do anything "during an American sports game"?
Pokémon is a global brand. Get exposure during an American sports game, sure. Reveal new stuff? No.

Oh right, you only reveal new stuff to much smaller audiences to not build hype
What do you mean by "exposure"?
It seems arbitrary to say this makes sense but then say revealing a new product does not.
