I didn't find much at the toy fair I visited recently, but I did see this Pikachu Burger King toy from the year 2000. Pikachu originally talked but apparently it has only just stopped, after 25 years!

Despite this, I couldn't leave it without a home, so I brought him home with me!

I certainly go through waves of using Mastodon, it's a great platform despite being smaller and with less reach, the people here do seem more real.

There's one or two people in particular who have been sharing our content and keeping in touch with us ever since we launched this account nearly three years ago, it's really cool

I'm going to try and reach even more people, so if you see this and you're a fan of Pokémon from the late 90s and early 2000s, and appreciate that era of the series, i'd love to talk!

Our moderator Sheep asked "Do you remember your first spin-off [Pokémon] game?"
