In the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 2010, which is an annual parade that takes place in New York City, there will be an extra Pokémon Black and White surprise, in addition to the usual Pikachu & Poké Ball balloon. Stated on the official parade site as a "specialty unit," Reshiram and Zekrom will appear in the parade. (There is a typo on the lineup that spells Reshiram as "Reshriam" instead.)

I would definitely watch the parade. Pikachu can't be the only pokemon in the parade who gets all the attention.

I am more or less indifferent towards the news, as I never heard of this parade before. Can someone tell me what happens in it?

It's just a huge parade that marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. A big, extravagant parade.

Me and you are alike then!

Yeah, i'm glad Pikachu always doesn't get attention. He gets too much. Just because he was Ash's starter pokemon

Two words: You Tube

I don't want to watch the whole thing so I am just going to find some pics of the "float," or what ever it happens to be, on the Internet.

Hey SK I was just wondering if you know why your local NBC station doesn't show the parade.

Yes I remembered that you live near Houston.

They didn't show them on TV, in fact the hosts of the ABC show ignored all the small floats and things. >:{

The hosts were talking with some lady, then Pikachu came up, they couldn't get her to shut up so they could talk about Pikachu. They had to interput her about it. I though it was pretty funny. xD

Wow, they actually pronounced them correctly. I figured they'd mess up because, apparently, "NO 1 CARES ABOT POKMANS NEMORE STUPID". At least according to everyone in my school.

Dang, I blame the west coast feed for being delayed by an hour. I'll catch it in thirty minutes, then (and get a recording).

yea, ours just barely came by, and that vid was posted before I was even watching the parade. xD

Makes me wonder, you would think ninty would want their american names for this parade to be nationally broadcast, instead of their japanese ones.
So it looks to me like their american names=their japanese names?
I don't know...

Reshiram and Zekrom are the English names. They showed that way back in May, I believe.

No problem on the video. Too bad it came on two hours later than in other areas, but then again, that meant I didn't have to wake up really early.

I was more than shocked that the announcer pronounced it correctly. I had a feeling they were going to pronounce them really awkwardly.
