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).
