Lady Gaga, JISOO, Trevor Noah and more declared “I choose you!” during a 2026 Super Bowl commercial celebrating the 30th anniversary Pokemon that aired during the Big Game on Sunday (Feb. 8).
The spot opens with comedian Noah — who just hosted the Grammys for his sixth and final time on Feb. 1 — asking a simple question: “What’s my favorite?”
From there, numerous celebs shared traits of their favorite characters. Gaga — who earlier not only sang the Mister Rogers theme song for Redfin and Rocket’s spot and then made a surprise appearance to sing during Bad Bunny’s halftime show — revealed that her No. 1 pokemon “has a 12-octave vocal range.” What’s more? Her character of choice “just always finds a way to make it funny,” the 16-time Grammy winner explained before revealing, “Jigglypuff is my favorite!” As the camera panned around her studio, Jiggly floated off the couch, and the two sweetly duetted on Jigglypuff’s lullabye. At the end, Gaga shares yet another thing about the character that she loves: “She uses her voice to protect herself.”
Another global star with a recognizable voice also praised her favorite pokemon in the one-minute spot: BLACKPINK’s JISOO and her preference for cute little Eevee. “I think she resembles me a bit,” the K-pop star said shyly in Korean as she fanned herself, adding that she finds the creature’s “ability to transform into many forms” an admirable quality.
Puerto Rican rapper Young Miko also shared her pick: the angry-looking Gengar. “He would improvise on the spot,” explained the artist. “He’s mischievous, but that’s sort of his love language.”
Pokemon first launched 30 years ago as a role-playing game. It has since spun off into franchise that includes not only video games, but manga, animated shows, movies, trading cards and more.
