February 27th is ‘Pokémon Day’, but even though that’s technically tomorrow at the time of this post, it doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate early! Here are the events straight from the official press release (bolding mine):
- Pikachu will lead the Pokémon Day celebration in Pokémon GO. From February 26, 1:00 pm PST, to March 6, 1:00pm PST, any Pikachu encountered in the wild will be wearing a festive party hat! The Pikachu caught during that time will keep its party hat, so be sure to look for this special Pikachu during its short time in the wild.
- Pokémon Day marks the debut of the new Gallery Figures collection in the Pokémon Center. The first set includes awesome figures of Eevee, Mew, Magikarp, and Pikachu—each performing its signature attack. These figures were designed specifically for the Pokémon Center, so this is the first time anyone will be able to get their hands on them. Check out the Pokémon Gallery Figures collection in the Pokémon Center.
- Starting on Pokémon Day, revisit some of the best big-screen moments of Ash and his friends with a movie marathon on Pokémon TV. For a limited time, watch the original classic Pokémon: The First Movie, as well as Pokémon 4Ever and Pokémon—Zoroark: Master of Illusions in their entirety. Remember that you can watch Pokémon TV on Pokemon.com and on the Pokémon TV mobile apps.
- The Pokémon Trading Card Game Online is starting its Pokémon Day festivities early, with extra Trainer Tokens available on the Bonus Wheel for the entire week leading up to Pokémon Day. Then, be sure to log in to your game on Pokémon Day for an extra-special Daily Bonus. Remember that you can play the Pokémon TCG Online on your computer, iPad, or Android tablet. Battle today and through Pokémon Day for bigger rewards!
- Don’t forget that right now you can head to your local participating GameStop store to get a Bottle Cap for your Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon video game. This item lets you boost the individual strength of one of your Pokémon’s stats via Hyper Training, making the Pokémon even more ready for your next big battle! Bottle Cap codes will be available at GameStop until March 5.
- Pikachu lends its brilliant features to the new Pikachu Yellow Edition New Nintendo 3DS XL. This limited-edition New Nintendo 3DS XL is launching just a couple of days before Pokémon Day, and it’s sure to be popular, so check it out while you can. Visit the product page on Nintendo.com for more details.
- If you’re looking for even more Pokémon animation fun for your Pokémon Day celebrations, you can find Pokémon the Movie: Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel on the iTunes Store, Google Play, and Amazon Video. Plus, check out a special Pokémon the Series: Gold & Silver TV episode bundle featuring Ash’s adventures throughout the Johto region. With this collection of episodes and the latest Pokémon movie, you’ll be ready to host the perfect Pokémon Day party!
- Pokémon Day is a good reminder that big promotions are going on in Pokémon Shuffle, too. The popular Nintendo 3DS game is celebrating two years of challenging fans with puzzle fun. Take a look at the in-game notifications to get more details on these upcoming opportunities.
- Head to Twitch.tv/Pokemon for an all-day celebration of Pokémon competitions, showing many of the most memorable matches from the Pokémon TCG, video games, and Pokkén Tournament from the past several years. See your favorite players from around the globe as we broadcast epic Championship battles, including some from recent Pokémon World Championships.
Anything you know you’ll be partaking in? I’ll be looking for Pikachu in Pokémon GO for sure!

In celebration of this day I hope I can catch this mysterious new Pokemon https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C5WwuEOW8AE1vpw.jpg
Gave you a shoutout on Twitter yo
*kicks pebble* I will never get a shoutout
Only the spiciest of memelords can hope for a shout out. But I’ll do my best 😉
I don’t have twitter, but I’ll take a look thanks 🙂
so I did one battle in the competition thats going on rn in sun and moon, hopefully thats enough to get me the mega stones because honestly I didn’t have a full team of alola born mons that were actually IV bred and EV trained so I just threw a bunch of shit in 😛
You need to do 3.
ugh really?
Yeah, I just threw some stuff in and did 3 as well. It says on the rules page on PGL I think.
ok, well hopefully they don’t pull new rules out of their ass at the last second like they did for the friend ball in the last global mission!!!! Im still so pissed off about that considering I traded 4 and had one left in the GTS
Oh, I did the 5 trades as soon as I saw it, just put some easy trade stuff up. I believe all prizes for online competitions require 3 battles win or lose so it should be fine.
yeah but my point is, that the 5 trades rule was said to be for the rare candies, I don’t actually remember them saying it was for the friend ball too, and if they did it was well after the event had started (i didn’t care about the rare candies so I didn’t think I had to do 5)
Oh yeah, I thought it was just the 2,000,000 trades that was for the Ball. I guess they messed that up. What did you want to use the ball on? I probably have it.
I was gunna use it on Solosis but I still haven’t gotten it in moon yet so I will use that one on it
I can just breed you one if you like. I have all apricorn breedables.
no no that would mean you would have to waste a special ball on a pokemon you weren’t gunna use it for
I already have it. My apricorn collection is completed except for Minior.
I hope that we don’t have to do That to get the rest of the mega stones -_-
Some are being distributed by event I think, probably store ones that I hate.
What place would you like next gen’s region to be based on? And what would the starters based on? (Remember that fire starters are based on Chineese zodiac)
Post apocalyptic wasteland please
all pokemon are duel typed with poison
That’s just Kanto
And make every single shiny have suspiciously looking green color
Pokemon – Fallout crossover
Canada, starters, grass beaver, water kingfisher, and fire coyote
I reminded you that fire starters are based on the Chineese zodiac and I don’t remember a coyote there…
I’m sorry I just always care too much about fakemon starters being realistic.
I know, I saw you said that, but I don’t actually care lol
Coyote would be the dog zodiac which Fennekin was.
i don’t care about the zodiac, eventually they’re gunna run out anyways
If we go past Gen 13 yeah.
I play by my own rules, #puglife
It will probably be China. I would like the starter to be the Rabbit, Ox or Ram since I don’t like snakes and we have a Fire Horse. My preference goes to rabbit even though it’d probably end up bipedal which people don’t seem to like.
I thought Game Freak was getting away from Asia. Why do you think it’ll be China?
New translations for the games aimed at that market, I think I read of other hints but I can’t remember. It is a very large market so it seems fairly likely eventually. I would prefer Canada or the UK though.
Germany
Grass Raccoon, Fire Ox, Water Dolphin
Grass Racoon could be nice. I imagine it will have a bushy tail that is actually a bush. And maybe a leaf ‘mask’ around its eyes.
mine becomes like explosive lol
How so?
I made it so when it evolves it tail becomes like a fuse where it becomes excited or scared it just goes boom!
Poor thing, I hope it’s just like Pineco and it’s fine afterwards.
Wow other than Racoon (which a while ago I had made a starter of) and Dolphin… you just said my Fan-Ragion
Although we just had a tropical region, I’d say Indonesia, and with the starters being a Tiger cub, a Rabbit, and a Glaucus Atanticus
No offense, but we also just had a tiger starter…
Oh yeah…
How about a Grass Leopard starter
In your most honest answer yet, Would you Prefer the main series Pokemon games to stay on the 3ds and its sucessor (nintendo says there will be one, and ik that the switch can become it) or put it on the switch?
Proper handheld for me, it would feel wrong otherwise, much as I love colosseum.
If the Nintendo 3ds is going to have a successor I wouldn’t mind the next Pokemon game to be there. But I want it to be on the switch!! Is Pokemon on TV!!!!!
I feel like, because the Switch is part a handheld and part a home console, I would like to see how they do with Pokemon on the Switch.
SWITCH IT UP
Definitely DEFINITELY the switch. I wanna play it on the TV, Pokemon is a huge system seller, and I feel like if GF chooses to stay on the 3DS then they’ll make a 3DS successor, which would negate the point of the switch.
Switch without a doubt. Nintendo reps like to talk about there being a 3DS successor, but in all reality that’s the Switch. It’s a new concept to Nintendo fans for them to only have a single catch all system, but from the looks of it that’s where they’re going. If they really want to sell the Switch as both a regular console AND a handheld then they shouldn’t even be thinking about making another system that does even half of that better than the Switch. At this point they need to focus on making the Switch the main thing and maybe the next time they release something (second iteration of the Switch or new system altogether) it’ll have better battery life, more handheld capabilities and be a higher res screen on the tablet part. Even without the Stars rumor I could tell you hat the Switch is the next step for Pokemon lol
I guess Switch, so that they’re not as limited.
So this is where everyone is
It took me all yesterday morning and into last night, nearly 6 hours and over like 400 SOS calls
Meet Honey making my 3rd SOS shiny

Now onto my next little hunt, Shiny Grubbin
get a shiny a day till the switch
Not on my schedule
I’m doing this on the car ride home
And if I do get it next will be Mudbray and if I have better luck Rockruff then I’m done
Nice, congratulations 🙂 Shiny Bewear is best Bewear. What’s (her?) nature?
Male and Calm totally useless
Well it looks nice. I prefer Masuda Method because you can control Natures.
Aw shiny stufull is adorable. Congratz.
I should MM mine. it would look perfect in a level ball
My salazle is like my MVP on this shitty team…. who knew It just took out two tapus and celestelia before dying to a z-move mimikyu
What set are you using on Salazzle? I am trying to breed for a Shiny one atm, I hate myself orz
For those playing Pokemon GO, what’s the past week been like for catching some Pokemon? Have you caught anything unique or rare?
Definitely rare since yesterday caught
Dunsparce, 1260 some CP Ursaring, Chinchou, Sneasel, and I’ve caught quite a few finds this week too that I can’t remember exactly
I caught a lot of shit.
Misdreavus
Xatu
Remoraid
Octillery
Totodile
Dunsparce
Shuckle
Houndour
Aipom
Sunkern
Chinchou
Lanturn
Slugma
Gligar
It was Kinda brought up so I thought I could share my theory with you. I think after gen 12 GF will reboot the games. All Chineese zodiac animals would be used as fire starters by then and it would explain why Alola forms are only Kanto pokemon:
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d6810291e86d5788e1cae9c76aa7a84219695c6745f30c55b80a3c3ed4718863.jpg
That would mean regional forms in gen 8 would be only Johto pokemon, it makes sense now!
What do you think of my theory?
It’s more likely that the Kanto only thing was an anniversary nostalgia thing imo.
This is pretty underwhelming compared to last year but I guess last year also had Sun and Moon
NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT

GENERIC EXCUSE!

No but seriously, I’ll be ready today, I promise. Sorry about yesterday. :/
INTRODUCING CATCH’EM MONSTER

What’s it about?
Try not to be a rabble rouser hahaha
??
You and your “NEW GAME” business lol
And the game is……. *Drumroll*
hey you Pikachu 2 😀 !!!!!
introducing Rad Red
It’s unfinished but hell, its 2017. People can release unfinished games and it’s absolutely fine!
The most hype announcement in the time leading up to Sun and Moon
April 3rd, 2016: Gathering at the Pokémon House reuse footage from the trailer released over a month ago as their ‘new footage’ they hyped up. Junichi Masuda, when interviewed about the new game, said ‘There would be atleast 10 new Pokémon in it’ and that ‘Pikachu would be in the game’. He was also asked if Weavile would appear in the game (IIRC), to which he said something along the lines of ‘Maybe’
April 12th, 2016: Corocoro release ‘new’ information about the games, which includes boxart which they blocked out with a lens flare, and then promised the real news would be coming next month
Beat me to it lol
November 11th, 2016: Celesteela and Kartana are officially revealed alongside Necrozma, leaving only Guzzlord and Xurkitree left to be revealed of the Ultra Beasts
November 13th, 2016: Guzzlord ‘found’ on the same page as Celesteela and Kartana. Somehow nobody noticed it
I remeber that day. Incredibly dissapointing. And then CoroCoro that month promised something new, but all we got were the blurred out boxarts.
I wish I was here at that time so I could see your reactions
They were brutal and dissapointed.
Try to find to article, I guess
And then, my search for the article began
Here’s the dissapointing CoroCoro: http://pokejungle.net/2016/04/12/may-corocoro-leaking/
Oh yeah the worst Sun and Moon leak in history
http://i.imgur.com/7TlETY3.gif
Earthen’s rage broke the internet XD
I just read the comments of the April 3rd article, it was like watching a train crash :v
my favorite was when the live stream ended today last year and they were like “POKEMON SUN AND MOON” and made us think that they were showing something new but it was the same trailer
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0a5c365426643d9bd83093477f514745e45c60acecd6a0795ba97acf1b806051.gif
I hope we have more situations like that in the future
Wow I remember almost all these people
I remember just a few of them…
Wait Star I just saw you on there as Riolu still when was this?
Am I just unlucky, because the last shiny I encountered was a shiny Zubat in Sapphire back in 2004. I guess I’m cursed or something.
Yeah, you’re unlucky.
I’m still pretty sure that the Ultra Beasts are human and Lillie is actually Nihiligo
Throwback

i made this fakemon
i regret this fakemon
Cute
The other two suck but I wouldn’t mind the owl. Just not over rowlet.
I prefer this owl over rowlet but Decidueye is clearly above that fakemon and it’s non-existent final evolution
Ehh I see them as equals
I liked the at thingy
Cat
I like them all could have made
Grass/Ghost Owl (that made sense)
Water/Ice Seel
Fire/Fairy Cat
What we got is better and you know it
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/961dd4560b142839772c9411485397b1dc7920f0555609198ee7c0c562054d74.png
I still think these are better than the starters we got… I just absolutely adore the Seel!
Seal is much better than Popplio
Thank you Its just sooooo cute
The fire one is pretty cute. The others….mehh
HANG ON WHAT GUZMA WAS CANONICALLY BEATEN WITH GOLF CLUBS?
Other way around, I’m pretty sure. Could be wrong though.
This has been known since a long time ago………………

Yes, yes he was. The bbu was abused by his father
supposedly Nintendo reserved a theatre this year for E3
NWC17 CONFIRMED
That could be the case, but what if they are returning to a regular conference
Could be, but NWC was pretty freakin awesome.

SON OF A BITCH I KILLED THE GRUBBIN
Turn my back for one second and broke the chain
I was definitely at 200 something
D:
That sucks, I remember when I had to end a Pikipek chain of like 300 because I ran out of PP and PP items.
Well, RIP me.
GG cascoon, I honestly did better than I thought I would’ve. xD
Also I saved the video
GG! You did great! That was a very close match!
Haha thanks! You have a really good team, they worked so well with each other.
How do I post the battle?
NVM I think I found it
Dont forget you have a second battle since you are in the Loser’s bracket. You will battle the trainer who losses between Green and Kurusu
I haven’t seen green here in forever TBH.
Yea he comes and goes. He normally comes around night, so hopefully Kurusu can catch him then
Ah, that explains it.
Wait if he never shows though do I get eliminated too? Or do I get an automatic win?
H3NW-WWWW-WWW5-MALC
There I did it
Ok, works for me!
Time to gather info on my opponent!
Is that Bronzong Levitate?
Time to get back to my Nuzlocke. About to face Olivia, Lycanroc scares me.
@green1289:disqus are you around I need to battle you for our match
His last comment was a month ago, huh…
His last post on the forums was 4th February tho
Yeah I’m wondering what am I to do
He”s on the forums a lot too
