To bad you couldn't hear it to well on TV it sounded fantastic when they played it at japan day this summer. I guess they must have really liked the tune. More marching bands must learn to play this!

I was really pissed they only played like 5 seconds of the song. I wouldn't have even recognized it if they hadn't announced it.

Totally missed the Pokemons though, bummed about that.

Darn, I kinda wish I watched the parade so I could've seen this. But honestly I couldn't stand much more of my mom's "it wasn't like this when I was little" stuff so I stopped watching it and started to play my DS instead (a little bit ironic that I'm currently revisiting my Pokemon Ruby game right now Anime hyper).

No mention of the cameo of a few of the Samurai Power Rangers?

Zekrom? Why not Zoroark?

Usually, it's just Pikachu, but this was the most Japanese related stuff I've seen in the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Mwahaha! Japan is taking over an American pastime!!!

Uh... you're mistaking Zorua for Zekrom.

Zekrom is a black Dragon/Electric type that's the mascot for Pokemon White...

And before anyone corrects me, the White Pokemon is the mascot of Black while the Black Pokemon is the Mascot for White...

And I watched the Parade too. I laughed when I saw the Power Rangers. Because of the helmets, I can't believe that Saban is letting them keep the helmelts the way they are!

The moment Amy Jo Johnson stopped being the Pink Ranger is the moment the franchise died.
Well, to me anyway

If anyone missed the pokemon stuff, you can see it here.

Also, suggestion for the article, might want to change "two of the legendaries" to "the version mascots", to clarify (as the version mascots are always story-important).
