The video was made to drum up hype for the upcoming ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'', ''[[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Pokemon]]'' anime, ''TabletopGame/{{Pokemon}}'' trading card game, and the rest of the franchise (but especially the anime). It was already becoming a CashCowFranchise in Japan and Nintendo wanted to make sure the franchise would be a hit internationally as well.
