Dylan and Cole Sprouse Commercial.
 
haha, i just saw the commercial, but didn't find it on youtube, but i found this.

I like to see people in my age-range play Pokemon, but it annoys me how they say Pokemon, Pokewalker, and whatnot. :D

I'm not sure if this is posted in the right place, or not, but it's about SoulSilver, and HeartGold, so i'd imagine i put it in the right place.

You can tell they don't really play the series XD

FerretFox41 August 18th, 2010 12:29 PM

Well, you know, they might actually play the series. My dad actually plays the games, and he loves them, but you'd never be able to tell. I mean, sure, they over-exaggerate the "ay" sound in Pokemon horribly, but, so does the narrator in some of the English dubs of the anime.

I like the fact that they advertise it using popular TV actors, since it might help stop some of the harassment that little kids give to each other about Pokemon being stupid.

Guy August 18th, 2010 12:33 PM

While it relates to HG/SS, this discussion is more about the video itself and not actually the games. So, I'm just moving this to Live, The Universe, and Everything where it seems more fitting.

I did see the commercial myself just yesterday, and the way Dylan says Pokémon irks me. "Poke-KAY-mon." ;-;

Évan August 18th, 2010 1:05 PM

Wow, really? It's pretty cool to use TV stars to advertise Pokémon HG & SS. Though I can't seem to picture any of them actually playing Pokémon >,>

Poeman August 18th, 2010 5:03 PM

TV STARS? They're on disney channel...

PokeLawry August 19th, 2010 7:03 AM

Hey, Now. They were on 'friends', too. :)

ßrooke August 19th, 2010 7:43 AM

That kind of amused me ^^ Lol.
You can tell that they don't play the game, but maybe it was intended to come off that way? Maybe they tried to make it look like they were obviously acting so the commercial would be funny.

Shadow-Star August 19th, 2010 7:53 AM

Pretty cool i guess, they don't know what they're doing but it was alright :P
but ya pretty cool that somewhat famous people ( they aren't really famous, they're on the disney channel -.- ) area advertising pokemon

PokeLawry August 19th, 2010 12:16 PM

They're famous if we all know them. Check, Please. :D :D :D

mew² August 19th, 2010 12:46 PM

They ruined Pokemon for me. Thanks Disney Channel -.-

I do agree that they are using older actors to endorse the product, though. I get harassed for playing it, but I say Oh Well! It's just a video game!

I agree.... If I ever see that commercial again.... I will shoot them... I realize Poh-kay-mon is the proper Japanese pronunciation.... But Poh-kaaaaay-mon? Over enunciation FTL....

ChrisTom August 21st, 2010 10:59 AM

Yeah, I agree the mispronunciation was horrible...

Pokaymon? What is this, the 90's?

joacen August 21st, 2010 12:37 PM

My apologies to Hiiro, one of the moderators. I didn't know that there was already a thread on this topic.

Anyway, I'm not really sure how I feel about the Sprouse Bros. advertising Pokemon. I've been reading comments on YouTube, and some feel that this is a good way to attract an older audience to Pokemon, while others feel that it will result in more people making fun of Pokemon, since not everyone's a fan of Dylan and Cole. It's quite an interesting debate.

Veelarion August 21st, 2010 12:39 PM

:L
 
Baha.. PokAYwalker...PokAYmon..
Hehe,sounds funny. :')

PoketalkCreator August 21st, 2010 1:24 PM

I stopped playing pokemon for a while after that commercial....
Pokemon has enough publicity, they don't need to resort to using the sprouse twins...

Dwayne Johnson advertising pokemon=stupid but cool

Sprouse twins advertising pokemon= stupid but stupid

Obama advertising pokemon= apocalypse

Hitsugiya August 21st, 2010 2:30 PM

i wish i had their friend code or something like that

Taemin August 21st, 2010 3:08 PM

lol

There were a couple of times in there, where they said it in a more toned down way, which is how I say it. But for the most part, all the 'KAY' was really annoying, and it actually makes me not want to play HG/SS for the next few days. >_> All in all, I believe that they are fans to a point, might not be Pokemon-forum-joining type fans, but I bet they really did play HG/SS and liked it an extent.

PokeLawry August 21st, 2010 8:32 PM

i believe they play. they're eighteen, they probably played as kids. i think it's cool they did this, Although it would be cooler if the Jonas Brothers did it. haha. And you have no idea how serious I am. :D

Please never repeat that. I may have to commit suicide.

The advert was interesting but all of my opinions have been expressed. I have nothing to say on that subject.

i love those twins, but this commercial looks really, you know, posed.

Sydian August 29th, 2010 3:25 PM

The worst commercials
 
In all my years of playing Pokemon, I have never seen one of the games get so much injustice in its commercial. First, we had the infamous "not my Chikorita!" commercial. I know. We all hated it. And now...we have...

http://thumbnails.truveo.com/0005/F2/A9/F2A96903A3EED7CF796ABF_Large.jpg

Really? Seriously? Anyone wanna shoot me? Even worse is the way they pronounce Pokemon in the commercial. It's obvious they don't even play it. ~_~ It's just...so fake sounding. I would rather have the "not my Chikorita!" kid. Opinions on the new commercial? Love it, hate it, obliterate it?

Poeman August 29th, 2010 3:53 PM

Already a thread for it but basically what you said.
It's obvious they don't play it, and they aren't even famous their on disney...

If they want an awesome ad, get morgan freeman :D

Planetes. August 29th, 2010 3:55 PM

Lol I love the way they say it, I actually find myself repeating it.
Also the commercial screwed it up because Cody/Cole (whatever) goes "I got 5000 steps", Dylan goes "Me too" Obviously he can't steal his steps, I think the commercial is a pretty big joke, but I kind of like it tbh.
why the hell isn't "not my chikorita" a meme yet???

Gardenia101 August 29th, 2010 3:59 PM

It is kinda lame, but it's really cool for those of us that watch Suite Life!
