Hey, Pokemon fans. Today, I'm gonna talk about why McDonald's promoting Pokemon toys to boys is what Pokemon's marketing outside of Japon when wrong.

Ugh. Why, McDonald’s? Why do toi have to promote Pokemon toys to boys? Pokemon is not for boys. If toi target Pokemon to boys, it’ll fail. That’s why The Pokemon Company International is not happy at toi for releasing Pokemon toys to Happy Meal for boys. Pokemon needs to be promoted on its own. Not paring with a girl’s toys. Releasing plus girls toys to Happy Meals with Pokemon made Pokemon’s audiences Lost a huge chunk of girls. Pokemon does not needs to be on the boys side. Pokemon can be promoted on its own and toi know that, McDonald’s.

seconde stop putting Ken Sugimori art and Pokemon Trading Card Game on your Pokemon toys, McDonald’s. Put the artwork from the populaire long running animated series from the 90s to your Pokemon toys, McDonald’s. If toi promote Pokemon only to your Happy Meals and not pairing with girls suivant time, toi win. I hate today’s America’s fast nourriture Pokemon promotions. Why? Ken Sugimori art and Pokemon Trading Card Game. I hate Ken Sugimori art and Pokemon Trading Card Game version of America’s fast nourriture Pokemon promotions. Why they have to get rid of animé art and change it’s artwork to Ken Sugimori art and add in Pokemon Trading Card Game. I’m sick of Ken Sugimori art and Pokemon Trading Card Game version of America’s fast nourriture Pokemon promotions. Bring back animé art, America’s fast nourriture Pokemon promotions. It’s getting annoying.

But the biggest thing that is preventing Pokemon from having an identity outside of their toys in your Happy Meal marketing is the suits' paranoia over young boys. toi know how much I hate their fear of what young boys want to Pokemon toys in their Happy Meals.

McDonald’s brass... Boys aren't your target demographic for Pokemon! Boys aren't your target demographic who are kids!

Who is your target demographic that are kids for Pokemon?

EVERYONE.

Pokemon is not for boys, it’s for everybody. Play Pokemon to every singles children... That includes girls. You'll get a big success on your hands, it's not freakin' rocket science! par trying too hard to appeal to boys, toi alienate the girls who will make your Pokemon toys plus successful than they are. toi also come off as sexist, and toi also make young girls feel left out. What is this? A boys-only treehouse? This is McDonald’s, something everyone deserves to experience.

Also, if toi treat Pokemon toys at McDonald’s as a treehouse for boys that doesn't allow girls... Then you're limiting your number of kids. Girls don't want to go into a boys treehouse, because that's boys' stuff. Is Pokemon boys' stuff? No. Need I remind the Suits – Avocats sur Mesure about Pokemon toys released at McDonald’s??? Good thing Pokemon X and Y done correctly because Pokemon X and Y is for everybody (not for kids, the whole audiences), they probably would've done decent business at best. toi mean to tell me that boys are Pokemon's target audience for McDonald’s Happy Meal? No. toi need girls in the audience, too. Otherwise, girls won’t be able to see Pokemon at McDonald’s and it’s all your fault.

Pokemon is not a video game franchise. Pokemon is a regular Japanese 90s franchise. Well, Pokemon did start with the games. But later, the cards and the animé has soon followed along with moves and merchandises. There toi go Pokemon had a crossover appeal. Japon got it right. Why America doesn't do the same thing? America needs to stop treating Pokemon like a video game franchise and cards. Pokemon needs animé and merchandises like Tomy Pokemon figures too. Otherwise it'll fail. America needs to treat Pokemon like well, Pokemon. This is not Japan, this is the US I'm talking about and thus that's what McDonald's has to work on. Promote Pokemon toys as Pokemon toys, McDonald's. Is that simple?

This obsession with pleasing one minor chunk of their audience all stems from Pokemon. McDonald's’ newly-hired staff came on board when Pokemon was released to Happy Meal, and those "geniuses" failed to realize that Pokemon toys was for boys and not for both girls and boys. But in corporation fashion, the Suits – Avocats sur Mesure and marketing are never wrong... It's obviously Pokemon's fault for McDonald’s Happy Meal marketing released Pokemon directly to boys and not appealing girls too.

This will be a lesson to you, McDonald's never promote Pokemon to boys and pair with girls toys, ever again. déplacer Pokemon away from gender marketing and promoting Pokemon toys as, well, Pokemon toys. Pokemon needs to be promoted on its own. Plain and simple.

"Hi, I'm Steve Ketchum, Ash's brother. toi might think Ash and Misty l’amour each other. I never thought that my brother liked that annoying girl. It is correct they l’amour each other, I saw the whole thing that is the ultimate proof.


After placing first in the Gydos League, Ash returned to Pallet Town in Kanto.
"I wish Misty wasn't a Gym Leader." He thought to himself.
"Prepare for trouble!" Someone said. It was Team Rocket!
"Make it double!" James continued.
"Team Rocket, won't toi three ever learn?"...

Well...this has been a long time coming!
Ever since I wrote that article about what I want for Pokemon Sun and Moon, I was rather anxious about what they're going to do; Especially since Sun and Moon is supposed to represent the 20th anniversary of the series. When I got my hands on the New Nintendo 3DS XL on December 30th, it had both Pokemon Sun and Moon installed onto it. When Sun and Moon were announced, I wanted to play Sun, so I chose to play that. It took me at least a mois to finish it (Which is why I haven't written any new articles since.), but it was worth it.

One of the things...

Whether you're a Pokemon fan of not, it's impossible to deny that Pokemon is one of the most populaire tvs shows and successful animé on the face of the Earth with plus than 900 episodes making it not only one of the biggest tv shows on télévision right now surpassing The Simpsons's number of episodes but also the biggest 90s tv montrer of all time. Each Pokemon season ou episode keeps the fans (or kids, doesn't matter) on their heels and always succeeds at making us dish out out hard earned cash to have one plus adventure with these imaginary creatures we've come to l’amour over the years. But how...

Seriously I can't stand the sight of that thing, makes me shudder just thinking about it. Also, the Malamar that appeared in the animé episode "A Conspiracy to Conquer" was PURE EVIL!. It took control of so many of the main character's Pokémon like Ash's Pikachu and Bonnie's Dedenne, and it even took control of Officer Jenny using Hypnosis. Also, through Meowth's translation the gang found out about Malamar's plot to take over the world, and although Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket teamed up to try and defeat Malamar it still managed to escape. After watching that episode, I'll admit, I'M TERRIFIED OF MALAMAR!

After the ongoing disappointment regarding the Pokemon X and Y Pokebank release date, we are very happy to bring toi a promising update on the status of Volcanion – the rumored new Pokemon who could be related to the Pokemon X and Y power plant mystery.

The last we heard on the Volcanion, Diancie and Hoopa release rumors, was that a déplacer liste for each Pokemon had seemingly been released early. We also told toi about rumors that suggested that Volcanion would specifically get a special déplacer called Steam Eruption, which was described as a water-type attack that has the ability to burn enemies....
