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 Pikachu Roulette Exhibit #1805 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 furry when I received this yo-yo in the mail from Japan in Spring, 1997. My kids did not even know what it was, nor had they ever heard of the characters "Pikachu" (shown inside the yo-yo above) or "Mew" (the cat-looking animal on the card). This yo-yo was our very first introduction to what eventually became a huge sensation and fad with young children across North America, one year later: POKEMON.
