3DS one is a coverplate though, not a themed 3DS.

I think the real question should be why are they doing a Pokemon commercial in general during the Super Bowl? Has this been done before? Most of the commercials and marketing during the Super Bowl are aimed at an older demographic(beer, man-things, cars, women, Star Wars, Marvel, beer... did I mention beer?) Pokemon obviously does have an older audience with stuff like the VGC, but it will still always be aimed at kids. What could possibly move TPC to spend 5 million bucks on ad for something like this? It ain't no side-game, I can tell you that much...

A lot of kids watch the Super Bowl. I remember watching it with my family when I was a little kid. Even then, people of all ages who aren't in to football watch for the commercials. It's a good opportunity to get Pokemon into the eyeballs of people who wouldn't notice it otherwise.
That said, if we don't get three Froakies on a log saying "Bud." "Wei." "Ser.", I'm going to be disappointed.

Glad they are making all the event Pokemon available, the only Pokemon I missed out on were Mew, Jirachi, Darkrai (sadly), Shaymin and Manaphy and also helps to ease the trouble of transferring them over from my old games. Not sure how Darkrai is going to get released in Australia since there are no GameStops there but we will wait and see.

Sorry but when exactly is the Super Bowl? Around June?
If TPC are spendin that much money on a simple add, it could be important news.
However, I am sure a main series Pokemon game wouldn't be revealed there. It would always be revealed in Japan first. I would bet on Pokemon Go or Pokken, but I might change that bet when I think of a better idea. XP
PD: Wait... Super Bowl is connected to America. Unova is America.
Unova remakes confirmed.

The Super Bowl is February 7th. As others have said, I really wouldn't expect a new main series game to be unveiled during an American sporting event.
Using it to promote Go actually makes sense. The first teaser trailer for Go featured a lot of teens/young adults, and tying it into the 20th anniversary celebration can play on people's nostalgia. The Super Bowl viewers who may have loved Pokémon when they were younger, but drifted away from the franchise, probably don't even own a 3DS...but they almost certainly own a phone, and might be willing to give Go a try.

Easygoing Luxray.
As if they would skip Sinnoh that easily.

Unova is New York City, not America as a whole.

1. They could just change order and remake Unova first, for the surprise...
2. I was joking anyway xD

Even ignoring that we can easily remember the fact that Pokémon GO is created by an American company for predominantly Western and young Japanese audience, rather than appealing to the nostalgia of older games specifically as they are trying to do with the original games in Japan*.
*With a 2DS bundle and Mew event to appeal to younglings.

Do they even think of the fans who don't live in caountries with gamestops and the like?! This is not celebration for everyone then. Why not just give codes for Mystery Gift and make the fans from all over the world happy?
I still hope they make a limited Pokemon Z green New 3DS XL.

I bought Pokemon Ranger a month ago just to get Manaphy...
...The game was fun anyway and now I'll have 2!

That is a lot of mythical pokemon distribution. Good thing they made each one monthly to avoid clashing with each other.

Is this mythical distribution via nintendo network wifi going to be US only?
Or can we get it anywhere in the world?

It could have been worse, they could have make it Pokémon Center exclusive in US.
That's how the Gen II events worked.
