-The '''1999 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys''' were a set of toys distributed with Kids Meals at Burger King in 1999. All toys were paired with a trading card, which were made exclusively for this promotion. The toys were used to promote ''[[M01|Pokémon: The First Movie]]''. There are 60 toys in total. There were also a set of six 23-karat gold plated cards which came in Poké Balls that were available to buy at the restaurant chain that year. The promotion used the slogan "Gotta catch 'em here!", a parody of the Pokémon slogan "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]".

 A promotional poster was also distributed at restaurants which had run out of toys (a common occurrence as this was at the height of Pokémon's popularity). The paper "Burger King crown" was also given a Pokémon edition.
