Pokemon X and Y Commercial USA
 
I just saw the USA Commercial on TV! For those who have seen it what are your thoughts on it?
I liked it it was creative and it showed the starters and the legendaries and GoGoat.

I saw it on Comedy Central earlier today. I like how it was all older kids. Too bad I didn't spot any new pokemon Lol.

Yeah they did look older. I liked that about it too. Wish they showed Game play along with it. I guess just showing CGI with Humans was good too.

I never never ever see Pokemon commercials on my TV programming. :(

WishCookie September 16th, 2013 1:15 PM

Any youtube video of it? I really want to see it. xD

Same here!
You know it feels weird to have English commercials at this point...proably due to the simultaneous release, as before the first ones we usually see online are Japanese...

That sounds vaguely similar to the older Pokémon commercials that used to air during the days of RBY, GSC, and RSE. If it is, then color me both intrigued and delighted! If anyone finds a youtube link to this commercial, please do share.

The latest commercial I saw on tv was for Diamond And Pearl lol :(

Same here. I loved the old commercial for Pokémon Emerald. So hopefully it'll be that good.
I hope we get an animated one like the B2W2 one...but at this point it's seeming unlikely with less than a month to go.

Found it. Low quality, but it's something.

Thanks for that.

It was kind of corny...it's not as good as I thought it'll be {XD}

Cheeyev September 16th, 2013 4:47 PM

I don't really have cable but I'll check it out sometime... I'm just a mere outcast because I think X & Y are going to be bad.

Oshamaru September 16th, 2013 4:59 PM

Better than some of the commercials shown around here lately. It's...interesting. That short Xer and Yvel battle where Yveltal used Oblivion Wing was cool.

Patrick September 16th, 2013 5:20 PM

Saw it today, not sure how to feel, really. It felt more like a TCG advert to me. Also, I guess I just wasn't really buying the juxtaposition. Why did the Pikmin commercial feel like a much more natural blend of live action and CGI? The Pokémon models were rather... stiff.

Well, that's not what I was expecting... It just makes me cringe!

Iceshadow3317 September 16th, 2013 7:16 PM

To me it was better than DPPt's commercial's. They were horrible to me, I don't think I ever saw BW/BW2 English TV trailers. Actually, if Dylan and Cole Sprouse were in the commercials for BW, I may have seen them. I know they were in the HGSS commercial.

It wasn't great. It was ok, I still like how they used older kids though.

I liked the DPP gameplay ads. This, on the other hand... Not so much.

Pinkie-Dawn September 16th, 2013 8:07 PM

Seeing teenagers used in E-rated game commercials make me kinda cringe because most of the time their praises of a game contradict the scores proffesionals gave. An example of this was the Disney Infinity commercial, where kids and teens were praising the game despite the possibilities of that game getting panned by critics. Hopefully, Pokemon XY doesn't meet the same fate.

ilias_ September 17th, 2013 2:18 AM

Am I the only one that finds the commercial too awesome? >_>

I really want to see it in a better quality. {:3}

metalhand September 17th, 2013 2:49 AM

Never liked a use of animations in real life video.
Thats the same for this commercial.

Nope, that's pretty much what I was expecting. It's CGI mixed with live action on a limited TV commercial budget. I hope no one was expecting something more than that.

For what it's worth, I like it! It didn't have that same human-Pokémon interaction feel that the older commercials like this had, but it was fun to watch. It's honestly better than just a boring rehash of gameplay footage that they've done so many times already in recent years. So I'm glad they tried to at least put more effort into these. They even gave subtle hints to the new sky battles and riding feature before they even showed the game play at the end. It's kind of crafty.

What's priceless, however, is the facial expression of Flint ( from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs) at the start of the next commercial. Pretty much everyone's facial expression to Pokémon X and Y. Hahaha.

Someone uploaded it in HD :) It is a cute commercial!

Echidna September 17th, 2013 10:17 AM

I really liked how this commercial focused on slightly older kids. They were still kids, but not as young as we're lead to believe the target audience is.

Nakuzami September 17th, 2013 12:31 PM

Oh, I actually kind of enjoyed that. It certainly wasn't bad. In fact . . . it was better than many commercials around today. It wasn't too stupid, corny or childish; it showed off older kids immersing themselves in the pokemon world, and it actually looked kind of neat. (Well, the girl sitting on the Gogoat looked slightly odd, but that's to be expected when a live-action person is in contact with a CGI character.)

Better than other commercials, certainly. The best? No, but still cool.

Spinosaurus September 17th, 2013 12:40 PM

Assuming this is footage from the final game the frame rate didn't improve AT ALL.

How disappointing. :/
