The Pokémon Company International today unveiled a new TV commercial that will air during Super Bowl 50 on Sunday, February 7.

?For 20 years, the Pokémon world has inspired fans to train hard and have fun,? said J.C. Smith, senior director of Consumer Marketing at The Pokémon Company International. ?This ad is reflective of that passion, and I can?t think of a bigger stage to share this story than the Super Bowl.?
