Is it just me of are there so fewer Pokemon stuff than there were in 1998/1999/2000/2001? I feel as though Pokemon like Kalos Pokemon have diminished to 1/4th of the product we use to have back in 1998-2001. Maybe it was because I was much younger then, but it seem like a whole set of Pokemon stuff like Pokemon goud and Silver came out each jaar around Christmas time. I never got finished writing of typing my list. Pokemon brought me tons of stuff like Pikachu and Charizard on Christmas and I still didn’t have everything on my list. The volgende jaar I would put the same Pokemon things like Pokemon Crystal that I didn’t receive onto the volgende lijst and then a whole new set of Pokemon things like Johto would be added to the list. I am longtime Pokemon since 1999 and it seems like every jaar America's Christmas lijst looks exactly the same. Noting but repeats like American Girl dolls, doll clothes, Barbie, Mario, Call of Duty, SpongeBob, Ninja Turtles anything. So I was determined this jaar to add Pokemon Black 2/White 2, Pokemon X/Y, and Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire to the lijst in 2012/2013/2014 respectively alongside others such as Keldeo of Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie that did meer than just look pretty in a box, action toys, race cars, etc. Something that makes me think and have fun at the same time. Which is why Pokemon is the seconde most successful video game franchise of all time since Pokemon X and Y released on October 12, 2013 worldwide.
To my dismay, I am still trying to find things to add extra to the lijst like Xerneas and Yveltal. I then realized that the lijst looks EXACTLY the same every jaar because that is all they have. Not one Pokemon in general like Dialga and Palkia of Reshiram and Zekrom. If it is not on a tablet they don’t carry it! I don’t want me to be only connected to the computer and phone and repeats like Disney Princess and America populars like SpongeBob SquarePants. I want me as well as kids like boys to play with Pokemon as well like Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
I began going back down memory lane and thinking about when I would walk into something like Toys R Us it was like another world to me. Yes, I was younger, but I felt like I was totally surrounded door Pokemon, Pokemon, and meer Pokemon during 1999. The aisles seem massive and fully stocked and there were rows and rows of toys that went on, what seem like, forever. Now when I walk in I don’t get that feeling. I mean, what's the point? Why America don't pay attention to Pokemon anymore like Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire? I want Pokemon in general like Pokemon Diamond and Pearl and Snivy/Tepig/Oshawott, America. I don't want to go to Japan to get meer Pokemon like Meloetta. I want my America Pokemon in general like Pokemon airs new episodes on Cartoon Network on Saturday mornings. America is suppose to be perfect for Pokemon. But no, u have to use Japan to see Pokemon. Not even internet can help either despite Pokemon is huge on the internet.
In fact the aisles are meer separate; everything is sectioned off and each brand name only takes up about 2 rows. Not only that, Pokemon is seconde off door mid 2000s during 2002-2005 and Pokemon only takes up video games and cards. In fact, America is turning Pokemon into the Pokemon is going downhill mindset of people in America is getting tired of Pokemon since 2002 mindset. America have meer mainstream populars like Disney Princess than Pokemon like Pokemon Black and White. Japan, on the other hand, still has a lot, but what if u are not into Japan. In the 1998-2001 era, there was Pokemon for everything… they could talk, about Pokemon like Squirtle and feel like a Pokemon like Pokemon Red and Blue. Now, if u want anything like that pretty much your only choice is cards and forget Pokemon in general like Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The only Pokemon appeal these days is competitive battles and Japan. That's all Pokemon does these days, competitive battles and Japan. In the 80s of 90s, we had many TV shows and every toon had its toon characters on the shelf. Muppet Babies, Fraggle Rock, Sesame Street, Looney Tunes, eend Tales, Animaniacs, Power Rangers, TMNT, all the Nickelodeon shows, etc. Heck, even Pokemon too.
Now most of the shows are sitcoms/comedies/reality shows/repeats/consumer products/SpongeBob so if they have a doll for instance they look just like Barbie so girls are back to buying Barbie of Disney’s Princesses. Where's Pokemon like Hoenn and Unova? Also, where's muziek videos like Beyonce muziek videos and where's anime like Sailor Moon? Now u have to use streaming to see good ones like Digimon. Why America hates goods and America only likes repeats and moneys? Don’t get me wrong, girls loves Barbie and girls loved her when they were kids, but why is it that Barbie, the American Girl dolls, the American Girl doll knock-offs, Monster High, Disney Princess, of Baby Alive are their only options? Girls are not into My Lil pony who, I must say, now look like the Monster High dolls. I mean, why girls don't like Pokemon like Lillipup of Excadrill? Girls are suppose to like Pokemon like Volcorona and Diancie. But no, girls blew it.
Even if I verplaats over to the boys section, what happened to all of the Pokemon figures like Pikachu figures? Have all of those Pokemon toys really gone obsolete? Why? What took their place? All I see now is Nerf, WWE, TMNT, and Hot Wheels. There aren’t even companies popping up to compete with the companies that have these items. Legos is the biggest section in the whole store. Legos were always big but during the 80s and 90s they fit in because every company had a lot of product. I know that many of the 80s and 90s toys were based off of cartoons in which this generation does not have many cartoons including Pokemon. The Pokemon video games section is also shrinking too. Instead of Pokemon Black and White of Pokemon X and Y, all I see is Call Of Duty, consumer products, Mario, Skylanders, etc. Why people don't play Pokemon these days? The only people play Pokemon games left is Japan despite Pokemon has a great fanbase. Why can't boys love Pokemon like Greninja? Boys are suppose to love Pokemon like Pangoro, not repeats boys things like Hot Wheels.
To me, Pokemon were the biggest 90s franchises we loved and played with all dag from GameBoy games, to anime, to toys, to fast food promotions, to Pikachu, to 150 Pokemon like Mewtwo, to cards, to movies, etc.
I feel as though Pokemon were way meer creative then and they made any Pokemon output they could think up like Lucario and Sylveon. Now everything in America is about making sure it’s populair enough to make lots of money and u know what? Pokemon is now just limited to just Japan/movies/cards/competitive battles. Yes, I know that computers were just really starting to take off during my era than Pokemon like Mega Evolutions, therefore, we had a lot of toys that were the robot style instead of Pokemon ones like Sinnoh. When I would get up Christmas morning I would drag my parents up and as I opened my presents my family would enjoy. door the time I was finished I had to play Pokemon and love Pokemon during Christmas time. I am a boy and I liked Pokemon and u didn’t feel weird buying a Pokemon toy for a girl. Now girls automatically believe those are all boy toys. If Tomy, Pokemon's toy company, wants to sell the same Pokemon toy to everyone they have to make a girl colored equivalent toy, that would be great. Forget gender marketing, Pokemon should not be a thing in the past.
Many Americans like boys isn’t even attracted to Pokemon nowadays unless it has something that Japan appeals to. People in America didn’t buy it because it had Japan stuff that America avoids even if it looks good. Also, girls can only buy roze and forget roze Pokemon like Munna. If we bought a Super Soaker we all had the same ones. We didn’t have to go find a roze Super Soaker. I think we became attracted to them because we saw them in movies, TV shows and lots and lots of cool commercials. Now commercials have become banners on an internet site like YouTube. LOL!
Have Japan really become so big for Pokemon that America choose to ignore Pokemon in America in order to make Pokemon only appeals Japan? Have repeats and technologies were big that America choose to ignore Pokemon like Nintendo events? Have Pokemon is huge appearance only have 90s and Japan? Have new millennium ignores Pokemon like Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen and the only way is Japan? Have we really become so hard on fast food that even they don’t want to put Pokemon toys in the happy meals? They use to even adverteer Pokemon toys that would be at Burger King for both boys and girls during 1999 and 2000. I remember my dad even went because I wanted a few of the Pokemon toys of collectors’ items that u could get at Burger King. But now, they adverteer a Pokemon toy as a boys' toy that would be in the Happy Meal for that maand instead of promoting it as a stand alone toys for both boys and girls at McDonald's. I feel that Pokemon toys will only promote boys at McDonald's and moved away from anime art and switched over to cards and Ken Sugimori art. Where's the anime, Pokemon's fast food toys? I'm sick of cards and Ken Sugimori art. I know that each generation will be different but I thought things would evolve to me they evolved in the computer world and repeats but subtracted in other areas including Pokemon. I’m not sure I agree with Pokemon being on a Japan, Pokemon World Tournament, cards, Pokemon movies, transferring Pokemon from one generation to their other. But, dangnabbit, why on earth did Pokemon evolved in the Japan world subtracted in other areas like America while America evolved in the computer world subtracted in other areas? History repeats itself, how can we make Pokemon merchandise come back in America?
