The shorter version was such sh*t. Some people weren’t fans of the whole commercial… but I was. I WAS NOT a fan of the shortened one. Took every reference away and really killed the overall effect IMO. If that was worth $5 mil, I think playing the whole thing uncut would have been worth $10 mil.
I was expecting to wake up this morning and have some Pokemon related news after that commercial’s airing. And there is absolutely nothing. I ran to my computer to check PokeBeach, Pokemon’s social medias, everything. Aaaand there’s nothing new. No information about possible Pokemon Z or anything as I thought there would be. Wow. Much disappoinment. Such sadness.
The opening post basically summarizes my feelings about this commercial. It just makes no sense. They spent millions and millions of dollars for an ad spot during the biggest televised event of the year just to say “Hey guys we have an anniversary (that isn’t an anniversary for 99% of the people watching this because you all got into Pokemon in 98)?”
I said this same thing in the Pokemon Generations thread, but whatever guys, you do you. ¯(º_o)/¯
As an aside - why do people want Pokémon Z? Never understood people enjoying Pokemon Yellow, Pokemon Crystal etc. It’s just the same game. It’s like getting excited over the iPhone ‘S’.
