I lol'd so hard at this commercial.
Did anyone else have a similar reaction?

インフェルノの津波 April 3rd, 2010 12:04 AM

ROFL

Um, once. I think it was when my friend beat me at Wi-Fi (Totodile Vs. Cyndaquil), kept spamming Smokescreen and I kept missing, and then I lost D:

Yusshin April 3rd, 2010 12:07 AM

rofl... he doesn't seem too concerned. His expression is fail.

FreakyLocz14 April 3rd, 2010 12:10 AM

I bet he looks fail because he lost to a Tododile.

560cool. April 3rd, 2010 1:40 AM

Whaaaaaaaat ?
Man, Pokemon Commercials don't even know WHO to film in it . If it's a 9 year old joyfully skipping around then losing to a Totodile ... that's just fail ...

That commercial can actually make someone not buy the game . Also, the PokeWalker Doesn't count steps effectively when you run . You must walk for it .

Toxicroak April 3rd, 2010 3:14 AM

Lol they are showing this ad in Australia. every time its on i go, "you've gotta be kidding me, not my Chikorita!"

Katie_Q April 3rd, 2010 3:36 AM

Yep it's showing in Australia. Does NOT help it look more mature, or make people want to buy it. It's embarassing. Seriously, my family and I will be watcing tv and this ad will come on, And I'll random say something stupid or attack my brother, or something to get their attention away from the ad. Just so they don't think I'm a major freak for being obsessed with it. Why didn't they have that kids brother on the lounge playing as well to show it's for all ages. Haha it is pretty funny though

ChrisTom April 3rd, 2010 5:36 AM

Yeah, I saw this commercial on TV. I'm just glad America still airs Pokemon commercials too :(

I honestly can't understand what the kid is saying, all I hear is "Chikorita" at the end. He just says it too fast...

I agree with KatieQ. It's these sorts of things that make me embarassed to like Pokemon. If you look at the full commercial you can tell that the older brother is getting pissed. Now I saw one commercial for Pokemon that I loved. This one:

Only problem with that one is the narrators voice, which sounds like some weird guy.

It is hard to enjoy Pokemon with the Chikorita commercial. I've found 3 people in my entire city who are half interested in it. It's just really sad. I'm afraid Pokemon is going more and more down the tube every day.

Katie_Q April 3rd, 2010 5:57 AM

*looks at the video christom put up* Much better. Shows some older people, and not a bunch of immature little kids skipping around their house

.Occam April 3rd, 2010 7:22 AM

Pokemon. We know it's going to sell 10 million copies. But we spent the money on a commercial anyway.

xxChazxx April 3rd, 2010 1:46 PM

That was awesome.


"Are you kidding?! Not my Chikorita!"


I had to replay that part a couple of times.

Sudeki April 3rd, 2010 2:43 PM

yeah, I hate there comercial lol >>, At least I have no problem meeting other people who play pkm here, of all ages 13-20+. Since every week on saturdays there is Competions with prizes and such not to far away, and alot of people come.

^ this.

s0nido April 3rd, 2010 3:01 PM

When I watched that ad for the first time, I started screaming out of excitement that it was finally released in Australia. After that, I actually listened to what he said. My friends and I lol'd at the part when the kid was like "Not my Chikorita!"

Kirbychu April 3rd, 2010 6:31 PM

I actually appreciate that there's a teenager playing on the couch.

And maybe that idiot should have trained his Chikorita.

MarstheCar April 3rd, 2010 6:35 PM

I despise that "commercial". My baby brother finds it fun to repeat "not my Chikorita" over and over again.

EJ April 3rd, 2010 6:42 PM

I think the commercial is funny. Pokemon is childish....I think we all have to accept and embrace that =]

MadaraUchiha. April 3rd, 2010 6:49 PM

Well you people are blind :P When he says "Are you kidding me? Not my Chikorita!" he makes an expression and his brother does the "yes" by pulling his hand down really fast and smiling so he was battling against his brother.

Whoa your right! oops... Haha and when the little dude was skipping around happily about winning a battle, the brother was annoyed. It all makes sence now *facepalm*

Lt_Nite April 3rd, 2010 8:23 PM

Wow I have not seen that, and I agree with all of the above, seems so immature and makes it seem like only kids play it, but that D/P commercial, was MUCH better, both how it was made and who it appealed to.

Yuoaman April 3rd, 2010 8:27 PM

Jesus...

Nintendo does realize that most of their die-hard fans are in their mid to late teens now, right?

Sydian April 3rd, 2010 8:28 PM

I hate that commercial so much. I really, really do. The Ruby/Sapphire commercials were good as well as the Diamond/Pearl one. Why they had to butcher one of the most anticipated Pokemon game's commercial, I will never know. It's a shame, really. And embarrassing, because HGSS is really a great game. It's gettin' bad rep, yo.

FireApe2135 April 3rd, 2010 9:01 PM

I laughed at the brothers expression when the little kid lost lol

Wings Don't Cry April 3rd, 2010 9:16 PM

They're showing this on NZ TV but the voices are all different, so it doesn't sound as ridiculous but still having razor leaf and losing to a lvl 5 Totodile, I'm a bit disappointed in the creators of the ad.

ChrisTom April 3rd, 2010 9:27 PM

I don't care if it was because "The kid won against his brother"

It still makes Pokemon look immature in my opinion. Thank you Katie Q for liking the other commercial I posted. I think if they made it more like that it would be good. It isn't childish, or adult: It's simply cool. I think the original Red/Blue Pokemon commercial (the one where the Pokemon walk across the cable cord) was better than this one. Anyways, to each his own.

With all regards,

-ChrisTom
