Almost 7 years have passed since this trailer came out and it still pulls heartstrings.

if only friendship was like that in high school.....

He has just one friend and he decided to take the fire starter while he took the grass one.. This friendship won't last long, trust me.

this got me believing in the power if friendship.

Eyes used water gun

ホントこのCM好き、言葉は通じなくてもポケモンで通じ合える… 心が暖かくなる

The feels are too strong with this one.

"So remember kids, if you have a difficult problem in your life, Pokemon will make it go away forever, just like your dad!"

This is how they should've ended the commercial. Shohei: My name is Shohei. Hoku: 私の名前はホクです。 はじめまして。

0:30 The kid is drinking MooMoo Milk! Look closely at the milk carton! Nice Easter Egg, Nintendo! xD

I can't stop re-watching these, they're so good.

This is one of the better commercials that I’ve seen in my days.

Tbh this is better than the American one

Man, I wish Sword and Shield did trailers like this. These were adorable. Guess they kinda went all out for SM tho since it was the 20th anniversary

I can’t believe it’s been 4 years since I first saw this trailer and fell in love with Pokémon. It’s especially sad as the 3ds and the 2ds aren’t used anymore for the release of new Pokémon games.

Inspirational music sets the scene: *"PPOKEMON?"* *"nah yugioh"*

This just proves that pokemon can connect anyone together :)

This brightened my day up tremendously.

The feels man...the feels

Crazy how looking back at this and now that nintendo discontinued the 3ds

このcmのおかげて僕は自分に 自信を持つことができました。 ポケモンってすごい❗️

Kid 1: My name is Shohe, but you have to call me Dragon... Kid 2: You have to call me, Nighthawk...

damn.. almost 3 years.. look how far we have gone. pokémon sun/moon, will be one of the best memory's i've ever had, this is beautiful.

Still having my eyes watery just by seeing the scene of the reacton of his mother, by seeing her son making friends and having fun... Nintendo you are awesome, you are my childhood

Man can't believe sm is almost 5 years old

Here after 7 years still the best Comercial for any pokemon game till now...scarlet violet Era now.

歴代のポケモンのCMで一番好きです。心を打たれる。

Who's back after 4 years. If you are respect to you

So a boy from Japan befriends a boy from Hawaii, with the Japanese boy selecting the starter stronger against the Hawaiian boy’s starter. So the main character and Hau basically. Edit: the Hawaiian kid even has an orange backpack and the Japanese kid has a blue and white striped shirt. This was intentional.

my name is goku ?

Dammit Pokemon company! I wasn't expecting to cry today....

友達がいい人ばかり

I came back for the nostalgia Pokemon Sun actually changed my life

There’s no way that sun and moon happened 5 years ago Man times goes fast

This is becoming nostalgic to watch

This is truly heartwarming 👏... and i love this game

Wow, that kid has better English handwriting then mine!

Reminds me of how me and my best friend met at church while playing Pokemon Gold and Silver. Good times.

Never been shot in the feels like that before...

After years and years Japan battling America battling Japan. A Japanese kid gets to reunite with an American kid.

My favorite Pokémon trailer no matter what Pokémon turns into remember it always brings everyone together 😄

"pokemon?" "yeah, who tf are you?" ".....bakka"

I nominate we show this commercial for US Pokemon ads.

It’s been 5 years… wow

You want to make friends? Dedicate your life to buying our games!

best pokemon commercial ever !like this comment if thats true

Easily one of my favorite television ads period

Literally at the end I cried because at the ending music I thought about 1st grade and beyond trading Pokemon Pokemon cards battling losing friends and gaining friends through battle bro this is heartwarming my eyes used surf bro

Funny fact: I did know my college friends through pokemon😂 so the commercial is very accurate

Such a positive commercial! That's what it's all about, bringing people together!

今までの中でサンムーンのcmが好き

That was one of the, if not the, best hype season. Every week, a new trailer was released. It left us with content to discuss about every week, basically. The best for sure, along with the Gen3 hype. Checking Serebii every day to see if he updated new news about Pokémon Advance was sheer beauty.

This was adorable, made me tear up

When a Pokémon commercial gives you the chills...

this was exactly how i met my best friend back in 1999. Them feels tho.

サンとムーンどっちを選んだのか気になる

i like how the kid was a transfer student from japan in Hawaii and the region in Sun and Moon is based on Hawaii. also trust me pokemon can help make friendships. from kids to adults it still works.

I'm really exited to see what the new region of pokemon has in store. This made my day.

How to get a friend -run at a random stranger -"p0kEm0n ??"

Wow I've never seen someone look that shocked and amazed to pick their starter pokemon

This is how friendship should be

Great trailer I really feel the power of Pokemon like I did as a kid with Red and Blue good job Nintendo make this your US trailer also

This brought me into tears Who’s here and playing gen4 remakes😊

Watching it after 4 years... hits different...

better love story than twilight

I used to watch this over and over back then

this commercial was ridiculously good

Me *runs up to classmate with a pokemon game in hand* Classmate: Tf do you want new kid?

0:29 Me everyday at school

Kid running to random people without telling his mom Me: hey there are you lost

Get ready for 25th Years in 2021

Three years later and I still get proper goosebumps

Just like the XY theme was friendship (mega evolution, pss, a large group of "rivals" which were really just friends), I feel like this game's theme will be bringing people together. This also goes along with the Hawaiian culture of ohana which means treating everyone like they were family Also there's probably going to be two professors, sort of like a mentor relationship. Kukui, the guy that called you cousin, and Hala, the person I assume threw the pokeballs (and Watson's long lost cousin), are both present when you receive your starter and are both named after Hawaiian trees Lastly, both the kid and the trainer and the Alola region and that town share quite a resemblance appearance wise. The kids wear similar clothing (horizontal striped shirts and shorts) and the towns both have that crater in the middle. What's interesting is that they modified the real town to include the volcano AND the little village in the middle, making me believe that there will be another Sootopolis-like city

Man 3 year ago time has fly anyway 2019?

My heart is so warm and this video makes me feel so happy and calm

If only making friends was like that these kids are just flat out evil at times

the only good video I've seen on IGN in awhile and it's not theirs lol

来た所がアローラ地方みたい

OMG this trailer is so happy

Man, I remember this like it was yesterday.

Unrealistic, kids are never that nice.

The starters look like fan art more and more with each generation.

I was hoping for more commercials like these for the ultra versions. Maybe even a sequel to these shorts.

Kid : buys the new pkmn game Me: wait till the roms web site got it avaliable for download

Lmaooo I could drown Hawaii rn I'm on the subway and everyone's staring lmaooo why u gotta make a man cry

30 second ad for someone else's video, typical IGN

This is still so cool after two years... I wish I have friends who play pokemon...

If we had a mom like his who gave him a Pokémon game without any hesitation........

I can't wait for the version to show the true essence of humanity. I also want more info on Pokemon Go.

Did anyone else notice that kid hitting the dab at 1:16.

Brings me back to a Simpler time in life great job Pokémon

The moral of this advert is the only way to have friends is by playing pokemon

if only the 3ds could do 720p

"Go to website" - Pokemon 2016

I like how they are jumping and pressing button, and they are just choosing the main pokemon

One of the best video game ads Ive ever seen. Great work Nintendo!

my name is Goku. im super saiyain

This make me jelous but also really relaxed and i feel happy for that pokémon group

my eyes weren't welting up they just got a little swollen because this vid was so darn heartwarming, that's all.

If only I had friends who play the same games as me
