Dylan & Cole Sprouse – Pokemon Pair!

Dylan and Cole Sprouse keep it cool in a beach house in Santa Monica, Calif., as they film a new Nintendo Pokemon commercial earlier this month.

The 18-year-old twins played both Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version on their Nintendo DSs, battled against each other and race to see who can rack up the most steps using the Pokéwalker accessory, which a small pedometer-like device that lets players bring their favorite Pokémon with them wherever they go.

By walking, players earn Watts, which are used within the Pokéwalker to encounter and catch wild Pokémon or search for hidden items that can then be transferred into the Pokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version games.

Cole shared of the game, “I think I like Pokémon HeartGold and Pokémon SoulSilver because we played the original Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver, so to play these games again is really nostalgic.”

The twins also told JJJ about their favorite features of the game. “The shiny leaf idea and the ability to have your Pokemon follow you,” they shared.

The commercial they filmed will begin airing on Monday, August 16 on Cartoon Network, Disney XD, Nickelodeon and Nicktoons.

How To Train Your Dragon Poster & Trailer!

Check out the newest poster for Dreamworks’ How To Train Your Dragon!

Based on the children’s book of the same name, the new animated feature focuses on a Viking teenager named Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) who lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. The teen’s smarts and offbeat sense of humor don’t sit too well with his tribe or its chief… who just happens to be Hiccup’s father.

However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other Viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter. But when he encounters (and ultimately befriends) an injured dragon, his world is flipped upside down, and what started out as Hiccup’s one shot to prove himself turns into an opportunity to set a new course for the future of the entire tribe.

Also featuring the voice talents of America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, and Gerard Butler, the film will hit theaters on March 26,
