#20YearsAgoOnAOLcom: Nov. 12, 1999 -- Pokémon All Day and Night

November 12, 1999: Once again, we went with Pokémon, though this promo was different from its predecessors in two distinct ways: One, we featured the human Ash, which I don't think we'd done before; the other is that we finally started putting the accent in "Pokémon":

For the PM update, we stayed with Pokémon. Also, in the My News headline, we see another earthquake in Turkey:

[Series note: In the late 1990s, I programmed the content for the AOL.com home page, which relaunched with a new design on July 14, 1998. I printed screencaps and saved them. 20 years later, I'm scanning them in and posting them with a little commentary under the tag #20YearsAgoOnAOLcom.]
