The toys were used to promote ''[[M01|Pokémon: The First Movie]]''. There are 59 toys in total (although it was promoted as 57 due to 3 of the toys being variants of each other). 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. | 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).
