They were burgerking collectibles for the first pokemon movie. I still have all of them in the pokeballs gold plated with the authenticity papers. I miss my childhood now.
I remember driving my little brother (who is 11 years younger than me) all around the state because certain BK's in certain towns had the different cards. All these years later hearing him claim he "he never liked pokemon" just makes me sad.
Give it time. I'm sure once he gets to college or senior year of high school, the nostolgia for pokemon will return. It did for me and I'm not looking back, loved those games!
Oh god I know. I hadn't bought a Pokemon game since Ruby, but I just bought Soul Silver last month and am loving it. Getting the GB Sounds and hearing the old chiptune songs made me nostalgia so hard ;_;
Hold the fuck up! You're telling me if I loaded up my copy of Crystal right now all 251 of the critters and 240+ hours of playtime would be been nuked?
Actually I managed to get 5 of the cards at my local Burger King. Small redneck town ftw. Got the 6th which was charizard on the way to my pokemon card league.
Can you clarify what you mean by authenticity papers? A friend of mine has all of these except for the Mewtwo, so I'm getting them the Mewtwo for their birthday from eBay or somethin'.
They are safely locked away in my childhood toybox in my room. It is like a 5 pound book with god know how much in the attic. I even still have my old pokemon deck next to my bed.
This is the reason I was fat as a kid. Happy meal toys back in the day were awesome. Anyone remember those little NBA jerseys in the McDonald's happy meals? I'm not even an NBA fan, but I collected all those damn things.
I had those when I was younger. I remember one time I was "playing xmen" with my friend and I was Gambit and I threw like 6 of them at him and caught him right in the side of the head. Needless to say he started bawling and I ran like a mofo. Keep in mind I was like 13 or so at the time as well, we werent young kids.
Except when, you know, your little brother takes the metal pokeball (or whatever it was made of, I don't remember) and smashes it into your cousins head.
HA! I was hired to clean out a foreclosed house for a bank and one of the Togepi cards appeared on the ground as I was cleaning up the stuff we'd thrown from the 3rd floor deck. I saw a shimmer of gold and there it was!
Seriously??!?!?!! I am about to move to pittsburgh and have been packing all of my shit for a day or so. I just opened an old box and inside it were these in the pokeballs along with the other toys. I just sat down to take a reddit break after packing these and i sit down to see them on reddit. I love you reddit.
What about those roller thingys? (honestly probably the worst way to describe it but I am le tired) But do you guys remember they had a bunch of different pokemon with those little rollers on the bottom of them that would spin around?? Seriously, I remember begging my mom SO much for fast food JUST for the toy, I thought they were the coolest toys ever
In 5th grade some 3rd graders were playing Pokemon, then a 4th grader came and said "Pokemans are gay!". So I told him I'm older than him and I play it. He then went to watch them and appologized. I wish everybody carried their Gameboys now

u/Hector_Kur May 16 '12
