Pokémon in Russia: Difference between revisions

There is a lot of Pokémon merchandise, which used to be especially popular during the airing of the anime on ORT. Toys, {{wp|Playing card|playing cards}} (not Trading Card Game ones), official magazines, {{wp|pogs}}, {{wp|chewing gum}}, clothes were finding a quick sale. In 2001, {{wp|PepsiCo}} released its drinks with [[Stereoscopy|stereoscopic]] images on the bottles' caps - these caps are collectibles among Russian fans now. [[The Official Pokémon Handbook]] and the [[The Official Pokémon Handbook 2]] by [[Maria Barbo]] were translated and released under the name "{{tt|The Manual of the Pokémon Champion|Справочник чемпиона покемонов spravochnik chempiona pokemonov}}" and "{{tt|The Manual of the Pokémon Champion II|Справочник чемпиона покемонов II spravochnik chempiona pokemonov dva}}" respectively.
