<p>Darksidious: /* Undocumented 2001 McDonald&#039;s Taiwan Pokémon Promotion – Pokémon Yo-Yo */ new section</p> <hr /> <div>== Undocumented 2001 McDonald's Taiwan Pokémon Promotion – Pokémon Yo-Yo ==<br /> <br /> Hello Bulbapedia Editors,<br /> <br /> I have officially licensed '''2001 McDonald's Taiwan Pokémon promotional toys''' that do not currently appear to be documented on Bulbapedia or other major Pokémon merchandise databases.<br /> <br /> While researching the items, I was unable to find any indexed English-language references, photographs, or documentation of this specific promotion. Because Bulbapedia's page on the 2001 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys notes that the article is incomplete, I thought this information might be useful.<br /> <br /> == Item Description ==<br /> The items are a full set of '''factory-sealed Pokémon yo-yos featuring Pikachu, Togepi, Totodile, Meowth, and Chikorita'''<br /> <br /> The packages carry official Pokémon and McDonald's copyright information and appears to be a legitimate licensed promotional item produced for Taiwan.<br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Information Printed on the Packaging ==<br /> <br /> === Official Copyright ===<br /> © Nintendo<br /> <br /> © CREATURES<br /> <br /> © GAME FREAK<br /> <br /> McDONALD'S CORPORATION 2001<br /> <br /> These are consistent with officially licensed Pokémon merchandise from that period.<br /> ----<br /> <br /> === Country of Origin ===<br /> 產地：台灣<br /> <br /> Translation:<br /> <br /> Made in Taiwan<br /> ----<br /> <br /> === Manufacturing Date ===<br /> 90年12月28日<br /> <br /> Taiwan uses the Republic of China (Minguo) calendar.<br /> <br /> This converts to:<br /> <br /> '''December 28, 2001'''<br /> ----<br /> <br /> === Distributor ===<br /> 夏暉食品有限公司<br /> <br /> Translation:<br /> <br /> HAVI Food Services Taiwan Ltd.<br /> <br /> Company Registration Number:<br /> <br /> 97161121<br /> <br /> Address:<br /> <br /> No. 1084, Section 3, Fuguo Road<br /> <br /> Luzhu Township<br /> <br /> Taoyuan County<br /> <br /> Taiwan<br /> <br /> Telephone:<br /> <br /> (03) 322-3550<br /> <br /> While researching the package, I confirmed that the company registration number printed on the packaging corresponds to HAVI Taiwan, the logistics company that handled McDonald's food distribution in Taiwan. This suggests that the company information printed on the package is authentic and not generic packaging text.<br /> ----<br /> <br /> === Importer ===<br /> 鵬祺貿易有限公司<br /> <br /> Translation:<br /> <br /> Peng Chi Trading Co., Ltd.<br /> <br /> Address listed:<br /> <br /> Taipei City, Taiwan<br /> ----<br /> <br /> === Manufacturer ===<br /> 偉象電子有限公司<br /> <br /> Translation:<br /> <br /> Wei Xiang Electronics Co., Ltd.<br /> <br /> Address listed:<br /> <br /> Zhonghe District,<br /> <br /> New Taipei City,<br /> <br /> Taiwan<br /> ----<br /> <br /> === Safety Information ===<br /> The package includes Taiwanese toy safety information stating that the product has passed safety testing and is intended for children aged seven years and older.<br /> <br /> It also includes both Traditional Chinese and English suffocation warnings regarding the plastic bag.<br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Research Performed ==<br /> I searched for this item using both English and Traditional Chinese terms, including combinations of:<br /> <br /> * Pokémon Yo-Yo<br /> * McDonald's Taiwan Pokémon Yo-Yo<br /> * 神奇寶貝 溜溜球<br /> * 神奇寶貝 麥當勞 溜溜球<br /> * 波克比 溜溜球<br /> * McDonald's Taiwan Pokémon promotions<br /> <br /> Despite these searches, I was unable to locate:<br /> <br /> * photographs of the items,<br /> * collector database entries,<br /> * archived checklists,<br /> * forum discussions,<br /> * auction history,<br /> * or other documentation identifying this Taiwan promotion.<br /> <br /> There is no known record of these items anywhere on the internet whatsoever, and I believe I may have the only existing ones in sealed condition.@<br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Why I Am Contacting You ==<br /> Bulbapedia's article on the '''2001 McDonald's promotional Pokémon toys''' currently documents promotions from Japan and France and notes that the article is incomplete.<br /> <br /> These Taiwan promotional yo-yos represent an additional officially licensed regional McDonald's Pokémon promotion from 2001 that has not yet been documented.<br /> <br /> If this information is useful, I would be happy to provide:<br /> <br /> * photographs of every side of the sealed package,<br /> * close-up photographs of all printed text,<br /> * measurements,<br /> * weight,<br /> * and any additional information that might assist with documentation.<br /> <br /> Thank you very much for your time and for all the work you do preserving Pokémon history. If this promotion has not yet been documented, I hope this information can help expand Bulbapedia's coverage of regional Pokémon merchandise.
