The sign in the background says "Unattended children will be sold as slaves".
This game just got dark.

That's great. Nice to see that TPC has a good sense of humor.
This just makes me feel more happy to be hyped for a pokemon game after being in burn out of sort with this series.
WTF.XD

The advert showed gameplay footage, the product itself and highlights how Pokémon can bring people together even if they don't speak the same language.
The advert did a great job.

Nice.
But now I'd like a trailer of Pokémon Sun & Moon being directed by Zack Snyder.

This was a very nice advertisement. Brings back a bit of childhood memories.

Oh cool, we can see the trainers in battle. Didn't notice that until now.Oh yeah? Take that!
(Nice ad! Like thestopsign, I don't have audio available either and it did a good job! Thanks for sharing!
(Enjoy!)
It looks like it, so hopefully!
Hopefully this too!

I'm not sure what to think of this...

Before anyone goes and starts speculating based off of this, it's a joke. Lots of stores have signs like this.
More on topic, loved this trailer a lot. Seems to be a direction they're trying to head in with marketing. Remind the old people of the nostalgia of playing with their friends. Show the new kids how much fun it can be to play with your friends.

Glad you like it! May it come in handy in the future!
I'm liking their new ads a lot, especially since the Super Bowl. (I'm not sure if they were in this sort of style before that point.) It's a great way to show that this is a legacy brand that is important. Nintendo ought to do this with exposing their IPs! (I don't know if they use the same marketing/PR groups or anything like that with TPC, but I have my doubts!)
Is it??

Yeah, pretty much.
They really didn't think this through very much, though it's a really good ad nevertheless.

I love this ad.
3DS top screen is 240x400 in 2D mode. I think one of the biggest tech hopes and expectations for the next Nintendo handheld is a better screen. If you check out the 3DS emulation thread, it shows how much increased resolution benefits its games.

Now that's a great Pokémon ad, scratch that, a great game add period!
The basic theme's really one most of us can identify with in our early years. Heart warming and yeah, mushy. Lol
Kid moves abroad bringing his love of Pokémon with him, not sure if he has much in common with his new classmates... until the launch of a new Pokémon! Let new friendships begin...

Made me miss living in Hawaii more than anything. Also the dichotomy between Japan getting this heartfelt spot with a chunk of extra footage while America gets "Here are the new starters. Go away."

Really did make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Reminded me of when I went to go and pick up Pokemon Sapphire with my mum almost 14 years ago
What.

That's a nice ad. Really captures the allure of Pokemon games to me: the connection and experiences you share with others.
Shh! Just minor details...

Lol I agree, but funnily enough this looks like the most portable game yet. The whole aesthetic could easily translate to a console, complete with a decent resolution
Good to see Nintendo fighting the good fight though. Online gaming is one of the things I've hated the most about the last two generations

They realized friendship was more important and that it was the pokemon we caught along the way.

That will probably just be for Battles with rivals, Gym Trainers, and Elite 4.

Oh, I legitimately thought this ad depicted a dystopian future where companies are legally permitted to enslave the populace.
His mom likely bought him a US 3DS. You can choose any language in all of the region versions of the game.
There are people who buy both versions of Pokemon, so we are pretty close to being enslaved,

I wonder how the kid got his Japanese copy since he was in the USA before launch date!
I love how that store sells nothing but Pokemon Sun and Moon and some Wii U accessories. No wonder they need to sell kids for slavery

What a weird complaint.
Anyway, this ad legitimately made me tear up. I know how it feels to connect to people through Pokémon.
Considering they are the overworld models (I think?) all trainers should show up in battle, shouldn't they?

And...? A game that can't be played on a different region system despite being identical apart from a region flag in the code is still region locked.
I never stated it was TPC's fault, but how is that relevant?

I gotta laugh because all I can think about is how Nintendo had to get a bunch of kids to act like they were buying pokemon that they can't get for half a year still...
