    Commerciallized SP

    Has anyone seen the Pokemon Traning Cards commericals used Team Rocket's Anthem?
    Also, Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green had a commercial with a bunch of kids saying TR's motto, they said the whole thing except for the 'Jessie' and 'James' part.
    Why is Team Rocket's anthem being used in Cards and Games? It's not even a good character thing to say!: "To denounce the evils of Truth and Love"
     
    Not only commercialized, but overdramatized as well =/ Come on, they really overdid the bit of the motto they used. I think they hired the same kids from the Yu-Gi-Oh duel disc commercial...a bunch of stony-faced ten year olds that overdo every motion and word...it really embarasses me; whenever they try to promo pokemon like that it makes us lose credibility with people who aren't insiders on the whole thing, like we're all a bunch of dramatic gradeschoolers. And the Team Rocket motto doesn't even have anything to do with the game...they just ran out of creativity so they had to use something catchy I guess =/ I liked the pokemon colosseum commercials so much better, with all the "save the pokemon" protesters. But the FRLG commercials are just dumb...they're really out of touch with what kind of commercials would be influential to people considering purchasing one of the games.
     
    Kaga, I couldn't agree more.
    It sort of did looked like stoney faced creepy ten year olds!
     
    LOL. I thought the kids were okay, actually. But I was baffled by the use of the Team Rocket theme. I finally wondered if all the kids the one main kid was passing were all Team Rocket agents and so was the kid he started to battle at the end.
     
    It seems Nintendo of America have been doing this a lot lately, trying to market games based on something else (it's not just Pokemon), in this case, the anime. And they do it as though to say the anime is "canon". I'm frankly getting tired of it.

    Besides, it's just not the same when it's not coming from Jesse (Jessie?), James, and Meowth (plus Wobbuffet). =\
