I'm surprised to see no Charizard there

Turned 24 this year. I remember every single fucking thing about this whole series from day one. When will it stop?

>>29888019
I had the Mewtwo from that. He came in a tank instead of the Pokeball. Pretty fucking rad.

>>29888019
Yeah i still have the Pokeballs and the Pikachu/Meowth, Gengar, Dragonite, Golem, Electrode, Venusaur, Nidoran.

I still have like 80+ of these cards in a box in my closet. Are they worth anything yet?

Had one of these. Been so long now I'm not sure which one it was.

Long ago, when I was still living NJ, I had an uncle who got so shitfaced one time, he was carrying around one of these, throwing it at random ass people in his apartment building in the halls, trying to "capture" them.

I had the voltorb top and muk keychain. Pretty good for fastfood toys.

It was the first and last time I ever went to burger king.

Yeah I remember these. I had the glowing Raichu one and my brother got the Oddish.

I also remember the Pokemon 2000 Burger King toys and I wanted the Charmander but I got the shitty Golduck

>>29888482
I traded a Dark Blastoise card for the Togepi one but never got the pokeball to keep it in, and my mother took it from me because she thought I stole it. I don't know what she did with it but I never saw it again.

I also had the Geodude keychain, Poliwag water squirter and Chaney top in OP's image and a Bulbasaur pencil sharpener that looked like the Bulbasaur in the image, a little Raichu toy that came in a small pokeball keychain and still have a Squirtle Christmas ornament that I hang on the tree every year.

what is this?

>>29888019
I remember super long lines, unlike the KFC promotion which happened in '98. Love my KFC plushes.

>>29889021
AY I think I still have that in my closet.

I hope I still do anyway.

>Pokémon GO is the second coming of the PokéMania you guys!

>>29888019
Man back in Gen 1, the weirdest monsters got mainstream merch. I feel that's one thing the modern stuff misses and you get stuff of the same marketing department assigned monsters over and over now.

>>29888019
I think I still have my Koffing spinner and the Muk keychain. I also have one of those "gold" plates with Togepi on it.

>>29888568
Used to have an Electabuzz one of these.

I also had the Pokemon version of Monopoly back in 1999/2000. God, I love Pokemon so much, but I wish it could be better. I haven't even played SM yet, but everything I've heard about it worries me.

Didn't these get recalled because kids were choking to death on the poke balls? I remember the panic.

>>29889352

What is it with americans and eating toys?

Its the same reason they banned kinder surprises isn't it?

The bright colors and round shapes mean it's safe to eat

>>29889352
I was a little kid back then so I remember jack shit, but did plastic capsule things just not have holes in them until the big recall? I can't think of anything outside of those shitty vending machine toys using capsules like that, at least not in the US.

>>29889415
>Eating toys
No, no, it was suffocation, kids would put half of the ball over their nose and mouth and suffocate. I think they fit too well over the faces of young children.

>>29889494
iirc it was one literal baby that got it caught over its mouth and suffocated to death. but im not sure.

I remember so much. It's wonderful to remember because it occurred during the time when I was truly happy. Now I am a joyless adult.

>>29889092
A really old-ass pokemon board game that was pretty confusing, I loved it and still have mine right along with the old manoply version.

>>29889021
stop anon my nostalgia is making me hurt

>>29889531
Yeah, 13-month-old died, then an 18-month-old got one stuck on their face but their parents noticed in time.

Can't find anything about if similar things started having holes made in them because of this or not, maybe someone who wasn't 7 at the time would remember if there were typically holes or not before this.
