Friday Video: It's raining Pokeballs


Go Nintendo has posted a new commercial for the upcoming Pokemon: Diamond & Pearl games and we have to say it is one of the most epic game commercials we've seen in a while -- which makes it perfect for this week's video spotlight. It really gets us pumped for the new game and if you're a Pokemon fanatic, we imagine you're probably going to pass out after watching it and probably convulse on your floor for a few hours. Do us a favor: grab a popsicle stick or something else to bite down on. We don't want you to swallow your tongue after checking this out.

Head on past the post break for the seizure-inducing commercial.

Why does Japan get the commercial with the excited enthusiastic Japanese guy and we get storytime John Tesh? I pray Nintendo gets some decent voice acting for Battle Revolution, because it sounds perfect in Japanese.

The song is a remix of the Pokémon title theme. Or at least, it becomes that toward the end of the commercial.

I wish they'd stop showing just kids in those commercials. Hey Nintendo: us grown-ups enjoy the series too!
