Japanese Pokémon Sun and Moon commercials

You don't have to know Japanese to understand but their overall message can still be understood and appreciated.





The Sun/Moon male protagonist does remind me of Ash but with a few minor adjustments, the female protagonist reminds me a bit of Dawn, just more like game Dawn but with a different outfit and hairstyle. Dawn appealed to Japanese girls and that's also why Pearlshipping main demographic are the same as Dawn fans. Both female protagonists in the DP games and SM games represent and resemble ideal Japanese female Pokémon fans.




The overall message of Sun and Moon is that Japanese kid travels to Hawaii, feels a little isolated until he makes friends with them all because they play Pokémon. Connecting different peoples through Pokémon. I hope the producers capitalize on this connection. I honestly don't think the female protagonist should be introduced, they should bring back Dawn because she did a hell of a job in promoting Pokémon.
