Sponsors and Curators The Museum of Yo-Yo History is a labor of love, and we would not be able to stay up-to-date with exhibits without the support of our sponsors and curators. Big thanks go to One Drop Design and Duncan for supplying us with their latest models, YoYoExpert for their help and support, and to Cody Orr, TotalArtist and YoYoBrothers™ for allowing us to use their collections! If you're a manufacturer, or just a big collector and you want to help support the Museum drop me at line at chimera@yoyomuseum.com Pocket Monsters Pokemon Mew Roulette Exhibit #1806 Type Production Shape Specialty Axle Fixed Packaging Bubble Carded Construction Multi-piece plastic Condition Mint Date 1997 Owner Rick Brough Compare Pocket Monsters had not yet reached the U.S. in full fury in 1997 when I received this yo-yo in the mail. All that would change in 1998. My kids didn't even know what it was and had never heard of "Pikachu" or "Mew". This yo-yo was our first introduction to what eventually became a huge sensation across the country, one year later: Pokemon. In my yo-yo database, the original description that I wrote about this yo-yo was, "A Pocket Monsters Roulette yo with a rodent-looking animal inside." I didn't even know the character's name at the time but my kids found out the next year. Wish I could read the Japanese on the packaging to understand more how the roulette worked inside the yo halve. Other Views Back 2005-2026 Software © David W. Hall Content by David W.
