Despite scalpers doing their level best to ruin the events, Pokemon is returning to McDonald’s. No official word from the fast food chain on the finer details of what its next Pokemon promo will include just yet, which is surprising as a new leak suggests its start date is right around the corner.
Images of promotional materials that have seemingly been sent to restaurants ahead of the promo’s launch have revealed that, along with the usual cards, McDonald’s customers will get a mini toy box with their Happy Meals, each design featuring a different Pokemon. Some obvious and popular choices in there, like Charmander and Pikachu, but also some slightly deeper cuts with Espurr and Minccino making the cut.
The new leaks have also revealed when you’ll be able to start collecting those boxes along with the latest set of reprinted McDonald’s Pokemon cards. According to Pokebeach, the promotion will start on November 10 in the US and run through to December 14. It will begin a little earlier in Canada, kicking off on November 3 and ending on December 7, and also in Australia, where the promotion begins on November 5 and runs until December 9.
There will also be 15 cards to collect, and supposedly just two cards in each Happy Meal’s promo pack. An interesting change if true, as McDonald’s booster packs have traditionally included four cards.
McDonald’s Pokemon cards are usually reprints of pre-existing cards from other expansions, with either holofoil confetti or a McDonald’s stamp to make them unique.
