Welcome to the The Official Pokémon YouTube channel community!

Let the discussions begin! 🚀

Let the toxic debates begin, you mean! 🚀 Can’t wait for this place to turn into a warzone just because celebrities like Charles Leclerc and Lady Gaga picked 'mainstream' favorites. Honestly, if we aren't here to sarcastically tear apart the 30th-anniversary choices and complain about why Zygarde is finally getting 'ball knowledge' respect after decades of neglect, what are we even doing? 🤡 Stay salty, trainers.

Anyone else noticed how out of left field that Zygarde pick from Lamine Yamal was? Most people go for icons like Pikachu or Eevee, so seeing a legendary like that in a Super Bowl ad was a choice. Do you guys think this means the 30th anniversary is going to be dominated by Legends: Z-A news, or are we just in for a year of massive celebrity collabs?

The inclusion of Zygarde is certainly a calculated move to bridge the gap between the casual viewer and the competitive community. Historically, the 30th anniversary of a franchise of this scale requires a multi-faceted approach; while the Super Bowl ad targets broad brand recognition, the specific choice of a Gen 6 legendary indicates that Pokémon Legends: Z-A will likely be the cornerstone of their 2025-2026 fiscal strategy. We should also consider the technical implications—if they are focusing on Zygarde now, we can likely anticipate a deep dive into the 'A' portion of the title during the next Pokémon Presents, potentially revealing new mechanical iterations on the Mega Evolution system

"Calculated move"? More like 'paid endorsement' move. You really think Lamine Yamal *genuinely* has a deep affinity for a Pokémon most casuals wouldn't recognize, or is it just the producers going 'hey, let's throw in a competitive-relevant one so the 'netizens' have something to dissect'? It's all just brand synergy, people. We're getting played. 🙄 But hey, at least it's not another Pikachu pick, right? That would actually make me toxic. 😂
