Hey there! Captain Pikachu has a special request for you - to make the most of your summer vacation by getting out of the house. Last month, we were lucky enough to get our hands on all of the Nintendo Happy Meal toys from McDonald's Japan. While they were mainly focused on the Super Mario and Donkey Kong series due to their collaboration with Universal Studios Japan, we couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that there were no Pokémon items. After all, Pikachu and the other Pocket Monsters are a huge part of USJ's parades and shows.
But don't worry, McDonald's has us covered with their new all-Pokémon Happy Meal line, which will be released later this month. It was first teased a few days ago with a tweet that said "Let's go find some summer memories!" and showed Pikachu and Sprigatito standing in the sand. And now, the lineup has been revealed, with a theme of outdoor summer fun and adventures with Pokémon.
There will be a total of eight different toys available, all centered around the idea of getting out of the house during the upcoming Obon summer vacation period. And just like with other popular anime and game franchises, the toys will be released in multiple rounds. The first round includes a Captain Pikachu water wheel, Poké Ball watering can, Sprigatito shovel and hand rake, and Fuecoco flying disc. How awesome is that?
And if that's not enough, there's also a Round 2, where you can get your hands on a Sprigatito telescope, Quaxly squirt gun, Captain Pikachu roller that leaves lightning bolt marks in sand or clay, or a flip-open Poké Ball compass. Round 1 starts on August 9 and ends on the 15th, while Round 2 will run from August 16 to 22. And if you can't make it to either of those rounds, there's always Round 3, which starts on August 23 and has no set end date. However, since it will depend on leftover stock from the previous rounds, it's probably best to aim for Round 1 or 2 if you have a favorite from the bunch.
So mark your calendars and get ready to collect all of these amazing Pokémon toys! The source for this exciting news is McDonald's Japan, and you can find the top image on their official website.
