Should there be a Pokemon GO version of OotS?

Just like Pokemon is about "Gotta catch 'em all," back in the 80's and 90's kids wanted to buy every animal mutant on toy shelves they could find. I know I did, I wanted every single animal villain or character they made...I didn't care about the Turtle variants.

It holds true today, with all the Nick mutants in the toys and cartoons essentially exist so kids can buy the new animal mutant they made and have fun with it. TMNT really was the "Pokemon" of the 80's and early 90's.

Ehh, no it wasn't.

Yes it was.

What do you think all those animal mutants in the Playmates toyline were for? Most of them didn't even appear in the cartoon. They were created because they knew kids wanted to "collect them all" and want as many animal mutant toys as possible. I know I did.

Yeah, I did too, but I don't think that was unique to TMNT. I remember doing the same with the Real Ghostbusters toys as well.
