Post by: Penguin_Of_Thyme on August 12, 2010, 10:36:05 PM

Disney Channel's Sprouse brothers will soon star in a new commercial for Pokémon HeartGold and Pokémon SoulSilver.

Five months after Pokémon HeartGold and Pokémon SoulSilver hit store shelves, Nintendo is preparing a brand new commercial to reignite interest. The upcoming television ad will feature Dylan and Cole Sprouse, the stars of Disney’s The Suite Life on Deck.

The Sprouse brothers are longtime fans of Pokemon and fondly remember playing some of the Game Boy titles.  In the commercial, the brothers will attempt to show how playing Pokemon on the DSi XL is a wonderful beachtime activity.  The commercial is slated to debut on August 16 on a variety of cable networks including Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network.

Check out a behind-the-scenes video for the upcoming ad below.

I hope some new "EVENT" Pokemon become available along side this re-ignition.

I don't know, there already is a event Pokemon right now (Latios or Latias via the Enigma Stone) and that is set to end the day the new commercial starts. Maybe they could give use the Mew that Japanese gamers got back in January? Or better yet, the Celebi that will be used to unlock something in Black and White (especially since the only other time they gave us non-Japanese gamers Celebi was the 2006 Pokemon 10th Anniversary Tour).

It would be nice to get the Celebi.  I have been waiting since the original Pokemon Silver to get an official one.
