Pokémon Happy Meals are returning to McDonald's, featuring classic characters that debuted in the late 90s and early 2000s.
Happy Meals are a type of kids' meal sold at the fast food giant that usually contain a small toy or book to entertain children. There have been countless varieties of Happy Meals sold since their introduction in 1979, featuring a range of iconic characters.
One in particular that has proved very popular amongst children and their parents alike is the Pokémon Happy Meal with it coming in a special yellow box with a Pikachu design on it.

Inside, there is a packet of trading cards designed to look like the original ones sold in the 1990s — which will appeal to many parents who take their children to the fast food restaurant. Also included is a sticker set, which features many classic 90s and 2000s characters such as Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur.
