Video: Nintendo Prepares Pokémon X & Y Trainers With Launch Trailer

The game looks great but the commercial could use a lot of work.

I like how they tried to keep realistic sizes for the Pokemon. I mean Charizard is only 5'7" it's definitely not towering over most people.

I hope Ninty releases a trailer based on the new corocoro scans.

Only a few hours left.

Time to Marathon some anime to get ready for tonight.

Nice!

Downloading it now!

Oh crap I still haven't preordered Pokemon. This month has been such a whirlwind I forgot all about it

Woot! Can't wait to get it tomorrow! :'D I just hope my K-Mart has it in stock :<

Huh, it's out tomorrow? Loads of people I know for their shopto and amazon orders yesterday so I figured today was the release date. I'm going to a 3DS meet up tomorrow and I imagine I'll be the only one not playing this.

IT'S ALMOST HERE GYUUUUOMGWTFBBQ

It's already out in the UK in loads of shops, so broken for life...

Is it a midnight release on the eshop?

grr preordered mine on amazon so probably not till monday at least for me

Yep pre-ordered mine on Amazon, only just shipped when I could wak down the road to My Game store where I could have just bought it there :-/

I wonder if they shot this in the same forest that was used for the Pikmin 3 commercials.

@Trikeboy yup

Now that brought back memories, I miss seeing these live action commercials. Sure beats a series of clips from the game followed like most are.

I keep anxiously checking Amazon to see if mine shipped yet, sadly its still on preparing shipment.

So now we have an idea where that snippet in one of the Nintendo Directs (or was it the Toyko Game Show...) was likely from, probably test footage from a Japanese version of an ad just like this, and we can stop pretending there's some amazing new realistic Pokemon game coming to Wii U any time soon, right...?

o wow great commercial so fun to see pokemon with real people lol. cant wait to get my preordered copy tmw ^^

Downloading it tonight on the eShop. Only 12 hours left until I can download it

Yeah i finally can be a black trainer why did take it so long to do this all my friends n cousins play pokemon:)

@rmeyer I love the commercial

@Nintendboy14 Amazing it took so long!

So ready! tonight at midnight!

@Nintendboy14 That definitely has me happy as well, can finally look more like myself.

@MysticSheep:

K-Mart sucks! They have the worst selection of games I've ever seen... and have often not had games on release day... if there's somewhere else you can go, I'd go there.

Holy Crap They have a panda...I am officially sold.

For those of you living on the west coast in the US that are downloading the game, it goes up at midnight EST, meaning you can download it at 9 PM tonight.

inb4 ninty releases exclusive content for people who bought it at the supposed release date

funny accent on the voice over, almost sounded South African

@CountWavula HA! YOUR loss, friend! :B

@CountWavula Actually, they're both incredibly addictive, I never understood why as far as Animal Crossing goes as you hardly do anything but they truly are. They're actually the only two Nintendo series I really like and I've tried all of the main ones, I find Zelda and Mario (for example) much more boring but hey, that's your opinion and this is mine, no point arguing over that. Also, no visual evolution in Pokemon? Have you SEEN the in-game graphics on X and Y? They're like none of the previous Pokemon versions although I will admit a 3D Pokemon version HAS been a long time coming and a much-needed change for the series. However, compare Red/Blue/Yellow versions visuals with, say, Gold/Silver/Crystals then Black and Whites, include all the ones in between if you like, each generation has had improved visuals, even if only slightly. Anyway, finally, if you don't like Pokemon, why are you looking at a post about Pokemon?
