edit- I remember being a young lad and getting three Sonic easter eggs for 1 pound as it was a week past easter. Then again, it could have been off.

Sonic rocked man

Yeah, way back when. I don't think anybody can say that using the present tense anymore.

wow. interesting. lol. it never felt anywhere near that big in the US. hmm

that's how huge pokemon got when it came out. barely fading away even now. :p i wonder whats next. o_o

next? dont you mean Naruto

no. there are no events in malls or cons dedicated solely to naruto. pokemon had crazy events nationwide and still do somtimes. i went to one of them where they were giving out Mew for free. technically the only "honest" way Nintendo intended for mew to be obtainable in the first place i believe.

naruto isn't anywhere NEAR 1/8 of the popularity of Pokemon.
