>>3927463880s and 90s advertisers were fucking geniuses at pushing a product no matter how garbage it was. They somehow managed to turn something as mediocre as Pokemon the First Movie into an above average film with fantastic press that transformed it further into a production goldmine. Hell back then they even managed to get Burger King to produce toys of all 151 pokemon. Compared to now with Detective Pikachu with its lackluster trailers and ads despite being even more mediocre and its Burger King deal only having 6 pokemon toys.
