Pokémon Day Celebrations are HERE!

by

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!

  8. graghhhhhh i want to go to bed just so this slow evening would be done with but i can’t do it….
    tomorrow i gotta get the entire house in perfect order, every room cleaned and vacuumed, the kitchen restocked and reorganized and anything else that could be considered a factor
    Because if the whole house is cleaned and organized very little can stop me from ensuring a bother free Switch Weekend and hopefully my boredom blathering will cease for a while

  13. Holy shit… So I just got a cheap pair of headphones because mine were doing that thing where you have to twist the port to get in in both ears and guess what?

    THE ONES I BOUGHT ARE DOING IT OUT OF THE BOX.

    WOW.

  14. So they messed up for Best Motion Picture of the year at the Oscars. It was Moonlight, not La La Land. Must’ve been very embarrassing…

  15. The touch functionality of the Nintendo Switch is kinda odd.. It’s a nice addition but it won’t really be much of use unless a game is solely designed for portable mode which in that case, it would go against the whole “switch and play” thing. I wonder how developers will make use of it.

  16. I keep seeing the Switch in my Dreams, I see my preorder pages saying they’re ready and shipped….I wake up to find they haven’t budged…..HOW MUCH LONGER MUST I WAIT

  18. ffs when you’re doing a regular playthrough you end up encountering Poliwag’s all the time when you dont want to, and now that i’m actually hunting one i get nothing. So typical

  22. Today, the Japanese Splatoon Twitter account highlighted a small change being made to Roller weapons in Splatoon 2. If you keep ZR pressed for a certain amount of time while moving around, you get a slight speed boost. This should help Roller players with covering more turf and with more easily closing the distance to opposing players.

    Ohohohoho this will make things a lot better, hopefully i can get my Krak-on Roller or at the very least something with near identical properties.

    That Roller has been my main eversince i got the game, it just has everything i need, setting up Beakons in nooks and crannies in enemy bases and when things get dicey I INVOKE THE MIGHTY KRAKEN
