We have to tell you, whenever we see that king of the burgers, we immediately think about training pocket monsters. Or greasy food. We can't really recall at the moment.But, someone at Nintendo and Burger King think the two are a hot ticket, as it's revealed that Burger King will be offering Pokémon-based prizes in their kid's meals. We can't say we're surprised, given Nintendo's recent enthusiasm with fast food outlets. Included in each kid's meal will be a Pokémon Trading Card Game card and accessory. There will be 12 different Pokémon TCG cards and accessories available through this promotion.
The promotion will start on July 7th and runs until August 3rd domestically, and throughout the late summer and fall internationally. The press release also lists a site here, but it's currently down.

I remember when they had the plastic pokeballs, and there was a plushy toy pokemon inside. It was neat.

I remember when they gave out the Pokemon beanie-babyish things at McDonald's back in the day. Those were awesome. I still have the Zubat one, it's my dog's favorite toy.

I think that was KFC's promo.
Seel, Vulpix, Dratini, and Zubat. A rather random selection of monsters (and the series' "mascot" nowhere to be seen!), but the plushes were pretty well made.

I'm sorry, shouldn't this be 'Nintendo and Pokemon team up to promote Burger King'? Cause, really, of the three I suspect BK (Hungry Jack's here. :) ) is the less popular with the kids.

I remember the gold card thing. And there were some poster board-like cards from BK, as well. /sigh If I hadn't given away my Pokemon cards...though I know who has them and how to get them back... >;D
