Pokemon coming to McDonalds outside of Japan.
On Bulbagardenit was announced that Pokemon is coming to McDonalds in North Amrica. The figures are Oshawott,Tepig,Snivy,Zorua,Zoroark,Reshiram,and Zekrom. And each will come with one of twelve cards. So be ready to go get you a happy meal people.

aw yeah time to go out in public and order a children's meal to get a Pokémon toy.
|
I am hoping for an event at McDonalds with this. Best bet is the Scraggy.
|
This has absolutely nothing to do with the games. Moving to Pokemon General. Anyway, no Victini, so I am not interested.
|
Yes it does it comes with the Trading Card GAMES card's . Yeah no.
|
Um no. Read the rules. This is talking about merchandise and TCG. There's a TCG forum already, but since this comes with the figurine as well, that just throws it in General.

I know I just made a minor mistake. I just came in here quickly and didn't notice I went to gaming central. But it's fixed now. I find it odd that there isn't a pikachu figure?
EDIT: NVM there is a pikachu figure. |
I thought you meant a WiFi distribution @ McDonald's (they did it in Japan). That I'd do. This? No.
|
I work at a McDonalds. This is going to be a fun promotion.
|
I have family who works at McDonald's...you know you don't have to actually buy the meal to get the toy, right? You can ask for the toy for like 1.50 or something. I might ask my family if they can pick me up few, like Tepig and Zekrom.
|
I'll be trying to get Reshiram,Zekrom Oshawott Tepig and Zoroark. Hopefully they are special edition cards that come with them and not re edited ones like we had a BK last time.
|
Hmm, might go for Snivy, Resh, and Zorark. Awesome figures, too!
|
There's a McDonald's right down the street from where I work. I know what I'm spending part of my gas money on! Especially in trying to get the Oshawott and Pikachu statues.
At least there's no need to buy the food in order to get the toy. That'll save me a few days of nausea. |
I'll go buy a Happy Meal just to get my Pokemon lol!
|
I'm hoping that they'll expand it to areas outside of the US~ It sucks when things like these don't happen in Europe. ;-;
|
I don't like Pokemon enough to go through the humiliation of buying a Happy Meal or even just buying the toys separately, so I think i'll pass.
The only way I would buy a Happy Meal is if they came in the red and yellow smiley box like advertised in the commercial, and not boxes with Hot Wheels and Princess' and s*** like that on it. |

That's probably true, because I remember buying just the toys when they had Neopets years ago. |
They have small pictures of the Reshiram and Zekrom figures up.
http://www.happymeal.com/en_US/index.html#Toys They look about as decent as the Jakks toys, so for a mere $1-2 it'll definitely be worth it. Though I was hoping for light-up "overdrive" tails, we have yet to get Resh/Zek toys that use that gimmick... (EDIT: Oops, rocky505 already posted them :S) The cards are definitely going to be reprints. Since I'm in Quebec, over here we're most likely going to get French cards (out of pure political correctness - most Pokemon cards in Quebec are in English and the franchise in general is more popular in English even among French-speakers, but McDonald's and Wal-Mart over here in particular seem to be fixated on not offending French language purists/separatists), so they won't be much use in my case. Doesn't matter much since they'd be fairly inexpensive to buy as singles, but still annoying. Hopefully that doesn't extend to the toys themselves if they talk, meaning anyone in Quebec who isn't a French-speaking little kid would have to hit eBay to get a Snivy figure that doesn't say "Vipélierre!" Not like we're getting Inferno Fandango Emboar or anything. |
Thanks for telling me the price, I hadn't seen it!

I'm surprised the French Pokemon names are used in the Quebec-French game (I didn't know, I always buy it in English). The best for the kids would be a French game with English Pokemon names. That's what we were used to in the anime after all! |
I think I'll pass. Figurines of the Pokemon themselves have never interested me *is still waiting to see a figurine of Leaf from FR/LG*
TCG has never interested me either, so the extra card really isn't an incentive for me. But now all of a sudden I have a sudden urge for Mickey D's fries... |
Any ideas if this is going to be coming to the UK? Hopefully it will.
Yeah, a WiFi event would be cool, not really sure what they could give us via WiFi though unless it's like a random Shiny Pokemon, that'd be cool :P |

And no, I was talking about whether the toys talk (say their names) or not. Just wondering that if we get talking toys, whether they'd be meticulous and distribute France's toys in Quebec ("Vipélierre!" "Gruikui!" "Moustillon!") instead of English Canada/USA's toys ("Snivy!" "Tepig! Oink!" "Oshawott!), even though their names IN ANY LANGUAGE aren't real words and they shouldn't worry about that kind of thing. (Pikachu and Zoroark would stay the same thankfully, and probably Reshiram and Zekrom too since they haven't been revealed as being able to talk yet outside of Japan). |

I do not know what McDonalds is think by having the Pokémon toy being distributed alongside Liv dolls. Last time I checked Pokémon appeals to boys and girls.
