This year, there will be a Pokemon commercial aired during Super Bowl 50, but people don’t have to wait until February 7, 2016 to see it. The 1 minute, ten second spot has been released via The Official Pokémon Channel.
The Pokémon Super Bowl commercial focuses on two messages. The first is, “I can do this,” spoken by a number of people around the world as they commit to the Pokémon trainer lifestyle. It closes with a battle between two trainers in a major arena, being watched by a child. his father, and his Pikachu from the comforts of home. That’s when the final message, “Train on,” appears. It closes with the 20th anniversary logo and a link to Pokemon20.com.

Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow will receive Virtual Console releases on Nintendo 3DS eShop on February 27, 2016.
