The New Pokemon Movie Has Inspired Some Weird McDonalds Treats
The Pokemon franchise is gearing up for its latest film release, and one massive food chain is [...]
Pikachu
Pikachu is keeping it simple with an understated treat. The electric-type Pokemon is heading up a chocolate-banana flavored shake. The adorable icon even matches up with Pikachu's zig-zag tail, so how are we not meant to love it?
Jigglypuff
Next, Jigglypuff is up to bat with a flavor known as white peach. There are plenty of worse flavors out there, and the fresh fruity taste could be just what someone needs on a hot summer's day.
Squirtle
Here's where things get weird. If you want to back Squirtle, then you will be voting for a Ramune-flavored ice cream treat. The drink is a popular Japanese soda which famously takes an acquired taste, so McDonalds is playing with carbonated fire with this one.
Gengar
Gengar is a terrifying ghost Pokemon, but his McFlurry treat is much more scary that he is. The creature is rallying behind a purple sweet potato dessert, and fans aren't even sure what that combination would taste like.
Bulbasaur
Poor Bulbasaur - your McFlurry option doesn't stand a chance. The leafy Pokemon may be a fan-favorite starter, but McDonalds will have a hard time getting anyone behind the champ's broccoli-flavored McFlurry.
Charmander
Oh, Charmander. We all still love you even if you are a bit hot-headed. The fiery Pokemon is waving the banner for a Habanero-flavored McFlurry, and fans just don't know what to think.

Ash, a boy living in Pallet Town, greeted the morning of his 10th birthday, the day he could become qualified to become a Pokémon Trainer. Ash's heart was filled with a desire for Pokémon he has never seen before and a world he has never seen before, but while he was meant to be given a Pokémon that would become his partner at the Oak Laboratories, he ended up severely oversleeping, and all that was left for him was a single Pikachu, a Pokémon that did not get attached to humans. "Do you hate me? I like you!" Even though the two were at odds with one another, their friendship deepened little by little, and as they looked up at the legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh that flew through the sky on the day they set off, Ash and Pikachu swore an oath as they held one of its Rainbow Wings: "Let's go meet it together one day!" And thus, Pikachu and Ash, who set off on his journey to become the world's greatest Pokémon Master, end up meeting the Trainers Makoto and Soji on their way before getting told a legend concerning Ho-Oh.
"Those who, guided by the Rainbow Wing, meet with Ho-Oh, shall become the Heroes of the Rainbow." Ash and the others end up getting guided by Marshadow, a mysterious Pokémon that had been lurking in Ash's shadow without anyone realizing, and make their way to Mount Tensei, where Ho-Oh lives, but a strong opponent appears before them. Will the duo manage to reach Ho-Oh?! In order for them to fulfill the promise they swore on the day the departed, the two of them now begin an adventure that will last until they become "true partners"!
