>>36645829This. You had the "core" Pokemon of the starters, Pikachu, Gengar, Poliwhirl, Jigglypuff, ect, but you were much more likely to find something like Zubat or Sandslash on merchandise than something like Sandyghast today. Just look at which Pokemon were chosen for the first wave of toys. And I knew people who actually had shit like the Beedrill and Kakuna set.
