Pokemon X and Pokemon Y hit retail tomorrow, and grown individuals world wide will hit up their local game shop to prove that Pokemon remains relevant to their lives. That’s not a foul thing, for sure, or even Nintendo helps prove it’s totally cool with a brand new TV spot for the united kingdom.

Much just like the U.S. TV spot for Pokemon X and Pokemon Y, the united kingdom’s TV spot is live action. What sets them apart is that the UK got a method cooler spot than we did. Their spot has an exact trainer starting on his trainer with only a lowly Charmander and slowly progresses to the purpose where he has a team choked with premium Pokemon, including a Charizard.

It’s every child’s dream come true, however the real kicker is that the teacher isn’t a child – he’s an adult. It’s reflective of Pokemon X and Pokemon Y’s push to really have the franchise “grow up.” Not only from a gameplay perspective, but from a playable character perspective to boot. Gone are the questionable 10-year-old trainers as they’ve been replaced by late teens/teens.

Of course, all of this doesn’t mean that children are suddenly unimportant to Pokemon. Over the following few weeks, you’ll see that Pokemon remains to be a strong brand among children. It’s just that Nintendo could have finally realized that the Pokemon fans who grew up with the franchise since its beginning in 1998 are adults now, they usually deserve some representation too.
