Commercial spoiler, in case someone didn't watch it?The whole idea of a football team having a sign that says "Like No One Ever Was" is endlessly hilarious to me.

No. You reveal things to the right audience.
The general public who watch the Super Bowl couldn't give two craps that Pokémon Z is now revealed.
They're celebrating the 20th anniversary. They made this advert to help celebrate it.
Not everything is about reveals.
seems like a waste. they should have pushed the mobile game, at least.

To be fair this is the brand which revealed their last mainline game by dropping a random trailer on youtube.
Pokémon is more than a mobile spin-off, and that spin-off won't be what people think it will be.
I should have clarified my stance on it, if TPCi or Nintendo or whoever want to use the 20th anniversary to play on nostalgia and get Pokemon back to it's level of popularity as it was in the late 90s and early 00s (which is highly unlikely now) then I feel they should've utilised the positive buzz they got from the GO announcement last year in the commercial a bit more, just look at the view count on the trailer for it.
I personally detest the idea of GO and Pokemon going mobile in any form, but that's just my personal taste. If it gets the franchise back into the mainstream and experiences a resurgence in popularity then that's not a bad thing at all. But the fact is, there is a large chunk of Pokemon 'fans' - see also: the kids that played in the 90s, grew out of it, still love RBY but 'anything after Mew, doesn't count' (that's an actual quote btw) - who while may have expressed an interest in GO, have zero interest in XYZ, or any other media that doesn't pander to the original generation.
RBY coming to the virtual console, while something that will certainly bring a few older fans back in, is not what these kind of people want for the plain reason being it's on the 3DS. The amount of times I've seen people say 'why isn't RBY on the app store! I want to play it on my phone!'. That's what people who loved the originals back in the day want. Which is why GO appealed to them. It played on the nostalgia of gen 1 with a new gimmick using a device that everyone and their mother owns.
As far as the commercial goes for advertising the brand, then yeah it was serviceable. And if that's what Nintendo or TPCi wanted then good for them. What a find baffling is why waste such an opportunity to get GO in the faces of so many more people than those who initially heard about it (and have probably forgotten it's a thing happening).
But ultimately, I don't really care. As long as they main games stay on the dedicated Nintendo handheld then I'm satisfied.
The football guys' helmets actually have Blaine's badge design. Or I think that's his cinnabar badge.
You realize most Pokemon reveals were in CoroCoro magazine before that right? Pokemon has NEVER had huge media blitzes for reveals, probably because TPC possesses common sense and knows that EVERYONE knows about Pokemon and no matter how it's revealed it'll be picked up by games media without spending millions on it.
Also this is an Anniversary commercial. Not sure what you guys expected
All of the people complaining that this isn't a Z announcement clearly have never watched the Super Bowl before. Imagine trying to push your chibi anime game alongside Budweiser and Go Daddy. To adults. Good luck with that.
No where in those video clips is Pokemon even hinted at.
Technically yes
"like no one ever was"

It will also be featured in a special broadcast dedicated to the Super Bowl's Greatest Commercials on CBS at 8 p.m. That program will include a behind-the-scenes look at the commercial's production.

GO is nowhere near ready. That's probably why.
By advertising the 20th anniversary, including the 20th anniversary website at the end, it actually manages to do it all.
We both know GO will disappoint anyway. That trailer was so hype, but the game will be nothing like that.
But you guys are wanting them to reveal and/or promote a game that is months away. That's not a good thing to do with the time. That would be wasting it.
Promoting the brand manages to do that with larger encompassing possibilities. It advertises:
The show for the kids
The games for everyone
The TCG for the card players
The Pokémon GO for whoever wants it
The brand in general
I doubt that your average Carolina Panthers fan knows what any of these are, so I fail to see how a commercial that neither describes nor depicts these concepts can be seen as advertising them.

Also BREAKING NEWS: Some kid's running.
Did a quick look frame by frame and that's the most interesting things I found.
Well if it's any consolation...
...it proved Lucario ain't "not popular".

And that's why a website link exists.

It's about brand awareness, with the hope that the ad will inspire some to look into what it offers nowadays.

Guys this was clearly the reveal trailer for a new pokemon chess game with Nidoking as the King piece.
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.
