Loving this. Let's see more cool references like that in the future.

Ah, I remember that episode pretty well... The time when Ash, Misty, and Brock visited a town where fights between Team Electabuzz and Team Scyther frequently broke out...That was the moment Pikachu ever showed its peculiar, but adorable, affection for ketchup. Anime catgrin I'll never forget that moment.

How refreshingly retro of a reference.

Japan might consider Greninja the coolest, but they'll always know which Pokemon is cutest.

We'll be sold if Pikachu and ketchup continues to become a thing at one point in the XY anime series and beyond.

I can't believe they're using a season one reference for marketing. But then that episode is kind of a classic. Either way I smiled to see this

Pikachu and Ketchup you would think that the two shouldn't go together especially considering what people use Ketchup for Pokémon cheeseburger anyone? Laughing

Not even Pikachu could make me like Ketchup.

I'm also surprised at the restraint showed towards making an Ask Ketchup pun.

I'm excited for more of this promotion. I got all the figures, the clearfile, and the big plush from last year's run and they're so adorable. Hopefully I can snag the Pika sleeping on the ketchup bottle cushion from this portion to add to my little collection.

Thank you for posting this! I was going to as soon as I saw the title, but you beat me to it. Great minds think alike man hahaha.

This had me rofl when I first saw it when it aired. It made a really big impression on me, and I remembered it very clearly for all those years. I sometimes make a reference to this and say "Tom Ato" but so far no one has gotten it.

Did you ever watch XY episode 30?
