>>9524594>Burger King that tied in with the first movie. People weren’t really on board at that pointWTF?
I can tell you were barely conscious when that happened, because they fucking ran out of toys in a week. One of the biggest promos Burger King ever had and even these cheapshits sold out in a week, which weren't even free with a kids meal.
Those pokemon cards you're talking about? Rushed pieces of shit that they gave with the kids meal, because they had to give you SOMETHING after the first week.
ANYWAY, you could tell that Nintendo themselves wasn't ready, because Nintendo Power gave the Pokemon games a mid-tier score. They didn't know it was going to be huge and Nintendo Power rectified their mistake by giving Pokemon Yellow a high score, despite it being exactly the same game as Red and Blue (ib4 pedantic faggots)
