==The Netherlands== | |||
In the Netherlands the discs were called '''Pokémon Flippos''' and given away from March 2001.<ref>http://www.everyoneweb.com/presentation_tier/Index.aspx?WebID=weggevertjes&BoomID=B1&KnooppuntID=K470&KnoopOpen=True</ref><ref>http://www.pokemon-paradijs.com/flippo/flippo.php</ref> There was a daily [https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Flippo_Update Pokémon Flippo Update] on Fox Kids Netherlands from 2001 to 2002. It was at that time a craze with children. | |||
The complete set consists of 70 Flippos with effect and 4 Slammer Flippos. First came a folder in which there was room for 25 Flippos. Those Flippos have all affect and therefore all 2 or 3 images. Then came an addition for the next series Flippos, the Evolutions. These also feature two or three different Pokémon. Finally, there was another addition for the Powerplay Flippo of 46 until 70, of which number 66 until 70 were Trainer Flippos. Then came the Slammer Flippos A until D. These Flippos are up to 2 mm thick and have no effect. | |||
Each series also contained a map with an overview of the new Flippos where you could tick off which Flippos you had. | |||

===Pokémon Surprise Flippos=== | |||
In 2001 '''Pokémon Surprise Flippos''' were issued by Smiths. This series consisted of both Flippos and stickers. On each flippo a sticker was pasted. The packaging of the number 1 to 40 was transparent, but because there was a sticker on the Flippo you could still not see what number Flippo you had until you pulled the sticker off. | |||
There was also a Flippo Collector for sale. This consisted of 10 parts which could be folded like a book or could be put up as a colorful display. When the sticker is removed from the Flippo, the Flippo becomes transparent. There was also a piece of cardboard with the Flippo Collector included to stick on stickers (doubles) and a large poster to collect all the stickers. There were 45 Flippos to collect: | |||
1 to 15, included in larger one person bags sold at gas stations, sports canteens and supermarkets. | |||
16 to 40, were included in family bags. | |||
41 to 45, were included in 'dispenser bags'. Stickers 41 to 45 have a glow-in-the-dark edge. These Flippos had a white paper packaging. | |||
