Two words:  Beanie Babies.  *That* market dried up; Pokemon took its place...

I still see Beanie Babies all over the place, sure, there's not riots
for them, but they're still there.  Also, you forget that Pokemon is
inherently a video game with marketing devices in the form of toys, tv
shows, a movie, and cards.

Beanie Babies are suposed to go out in December or 2000.

As for Pikachu replacing Mario?  That CAN'T be possible!  I hate pika and i
love mario!  And guess what?  Pokemon Yellow has less pokemon in it then red or
blue which is crazy.

Oh.  And something else bad today... the stupid Pokemon Movie's out!!!

Ahhh!

Pika Pika
Pika pika pika pika pika.  pika pika.
