A long time ago, in the realm of 2000, there was a mystical thing called the "Pokémon Prize Pack". It was on Kids WB! a lot, and had lots of various Pokémon stuff come on screen, including Chikorita and Pikachu plushes. A Pojo.com text clip I got around that time mentioned that it "[included] Pokémon T-shirts, a Sound & Light Pokémon Yo-Yo, a Pokémon Walkie-Talkie set, a Pokémon mousepad and a Pokémon Triangle Gift set."
Now, I actually had a chance to win one of those things, because during the premier of Pokémon: The Movie 2000 (which I did go to), in the newspaper, there was a thing of how you could design an original Pokémon and win the prize pack. There were probably lots of great entries, and I ended up submitting a Pokémon based on a bottle of glue. While it was probably ahead of its time, after all, there's only now a garbage bag Pokémon, I think there only two things wrong with it.
1. The head was at the orange tip of the bottle, and had a face like Ditto's, not the anime-like eyes of other Pokémon.
2. The name. In a play on the word "glue": Glute. Unfortunately, you might guess how this could be seen as a bad thing.
I honestly thought I would win, but I didn't, and I'm betting the winner ripped something off. Ah well.
