Pokémon Day Celebrations are HERE!

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!

        • I literally have the best window in time to get it, if I had been able to preorder. I have spring break immediately after it comes out, so I would have been able to binge-play it. I don’t really want to go out and buy one while in college either b/c I have to use the bus + other problems.
          So I may have to wait till may 🙁

  1. What is everyone bottom 3 least favorite pokemon types. Please Elaborate on why.
    3- Fighting.
    Honestly, the main reason I hate this type is I HATE humanoid pokemon. I dont want to command a Pokemon that looks like it might want to arm wrestle me afterward. Plus the designs seem pretty boring. Just a bibedal humanoid pokemon that likes to punch/kick. Woopty doo. They are all just so ugly. (Uglies: MewtwoX Monferno Emboar line Kommo-o)

    2. Normal.
    What can I say. they are basic normal types. Points for varing designs buts thats all I can give it points for. They all just look so boring, and the pokemon that are dual typed with normal barely show the “normal” characteristics. Besides, What are normal type characteristics??

    1. Rock
    Wow, and I thought normal types were basic. Rock types suffer from basicness and very lame designs. Almost all rock types look lame to me. There are literally some Rocks with just eyes! Rock types just suffer from having pokemon with just ugly designs.

  2. finally hooooome and back in control
    i feel fatter…..Curse you Aunt Audrey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    but nothing i can do about that now

    the Switch is almost upon us! we must make our final preparations because starting Monday it is officially ENDGAME!
    shops everywhere prepare to get shipments and make arrangements to unveil the Switch with profitable results, Gaming Websites scrounge up the last of the specs and most importantly everyone who wants it are scrambling to find reserves and buy accessories because we’re exactly five solid days away and some of you may not get to partake in such astounding merriment

    But not for Me i have everything in position and i have Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday off and i probably will fuse with the couch…again

    • The hype is unbelievable right now… I can hardly think about anything else.

      Also I still need to preorder the amiibo, and since I can only get one or two right now I’ll probably try to get the archer and the guardian. I’m trying to hold out for target since I have a gift card but I have no idea when they’ll go up… Maybe I’ll try to get them at bestbuy at the midnight release if they aren’t all reserved.
