Same.

It's pretty interesting to see the live actors talk as if they live in the Pokemon world with Ash. Especially when the Aunt is talking about "Pokemin", pronouncing it as such. Just funny to see how this would have been filmed before the big craze, before "Po-kay-mon" was something that sounded natural, and the quality control behind the video wasn't existant.

Also later, the teacher has the Pokemon cards, and the backs of the cards are the JPN Pocket Monster cards, since the US cards hadn't been released yet.

Also when they show footage of the game and they called "Pidgey", "Pidge".

Pretty cool

I know this bad... but I just got it.

Jesse James LOL

Note I didn't watch the show so that isn't something that I saw all the time. Still it is bad.

Crazy. It was sleazy marketing, very improvised, but that's just how it was so I'd have to give these actors some credit. And I think the idea of comprehending a meta inside a child's game was still very foreign to US audiences.

I still remember my first exposure being when some guy brought his Japanese cards to school and we all thought it was a little...weird.

Yeah I watched this tape like 30 times as a kid. Got one for Yugioh too, and then some robot show that flopped.

Anyone know where these actually came from? They were all just mailed to me. The only thing I can think of was I signed up for the "Burger King Kid's Club", and they would send me comics and happy birthday shit. These tapes coming from that is the only thing I can think of.

Nah it wasn't Medabots. I remember it being a kind of shitty 3D animation like the Donkey Kong TV show, and the main character was some robot dude. Not Reboot either btw.

Mine came from Toys R Us, but I bet they sent it out through various retailers/programs

That's the one! Definitely looks about as shitty as I remember. It got 2 seasons though so it guess it wasn't THAT big of a flop.

This isn't about Pokemon but this topic reminded me of this old Donkey Kong Country promo video. Anyone else seen this before? It's VERY 90s.
