Burger King Has Offered Pokémon Gifts Before
From Trading Card Game cards to gifts tied to other movies based on the franchise's anime, Burger King has a long history of releasing merchandise featuring the "pocket monsters" in Brazil. The restaurant and its competitor, McDonald's, have also offered various gifts tied to the series, along with other partnerships with Nintendo, the company responsible for the brand.
Detective Pikachu is a CGI/live-action movie inspired by a spin-off series from the globally recognized Pokémon franchise, which became a worldwide craze in the 1990s and continues to enjoy considerable fame through releases such as Pokémon Sword & Shield. The movie is receiving extremely positive reviews, with some saying it ended the curse of bad movies based on video games. The production opens in Brazilian theaters on May 10, with tickets available for online preorder.
