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!

  2. I remember when i first played Pokemon Blue at the age of 2, my trainer name was AAAAAA and my starter Squirtle was BBBBBB. got to the first gym. I still own the copy

  5. so people discovered 3 new zelda amiibos in the BotW files coming out, Skyward sword link, Majora mask link and Twilight Link

  6. So the whole Best buy glitch where the payment authorization on their end cancels out is a terrifying thought. I checked my own orders and nothing has changed, but I am certainly scared that my order will be compromised before the end of the week. At least Best Buy has acknowledged the glitch and has stated that if it happens you can contact them to figure something out. Still I’m more nervous now than I’ve been hahaha

      • I’m sure I will be as not only my Switch, but also Zelda have the same kind of stuff on their different order pages. I’d assume of the two to not freak out it’d be Zelda, but who knows……Either way I’ll just have to keep an eye on them from now until I get the email saying they’re ready for pickup. lol

    • I’ve have that too! SHOULD I BE AFRAID OR HYSTERICAL

      When it first came out I called both my Bank and Best Buy and they said their authorized to use the money and the order number is still valid

      I JUST WANT A DEFINED ANSWER

      • See the thing is the “awaiting authorization” thing isn’t a bad omen or anything. The way they do it is they do an initial charge to test you bank account and then deposit it back in until closer to the date of the preorder. the problem is that they are having legit issues with a glitch that is essentially cancelling out the order by not letting Best Buy confirm the authorization. They’ve already apparently started trying to fix the problem, but it is quite nerve racking.From what I’ve heard you’d likely get another email or some kind of notification that says there is a problem. So if your order is the same as always it’s likely not going to freak out. Just unnecessary spooking is coming from this lol

        • But….mine says Failed Authorization…..
          I called them and the order is there BUT I STILL SEE THE FAILED AUTHORIZATION ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY

          I feel I’m gonna get a Heart Attack if this goes belly up

          • Maybe try and contact them again to check and see. Not your specific store, but the online help center or whatever they have. It sounds like this is a company wide issue. So the individual stores may not have the info that the home office people do. It’s worth checking at least

          • Well surely that means your all good and it’s just a clerical error where they didn’t update your order page with the right text

    • thanky for the info…….Earthen bran broken……..things better work out…..things never work out the way they’re supposed to

    • Ehh, does it really matter though? Its Zelda, where most of the fun comes from your own journey and not so much the story, even more so when you can fight the final boss right from the start of the game and win if your good enough. And thank you to the people who pointed that point out to me the other day that this was something known since E3.

      Reply

      • but this Zelda is shown to be more story driven, yea u can do your own exploring but it does suck to get spoiled only a few days away from the game

        Reply

        • I’d argue its the opposite though with it being the least story driven Zelda game to date. With most of the 3D games; the’re super linear and really only gradually open up the further you go on. This is a game that openly allows you to skip pretty much anything in the story if you so desire. But yeah it sucks to be spoiled if you care about spoilers.

          Reply

          • Well who knows really, yea you can skip the whole story and go beat the final boss with nothing but your underwear and a sword, but the story seems to be deeper then most zeldas. we dont even know how big the story is maybe it not even worth skipping or maybe it is who knows

  20. Well soon I must start my crappy week

  25. Hey, I have an idea for a game! One person writes a name of any pokemon and the next person replies with a name that starts with the same letter as the last letter of the previous name and so on. An example: Wynaut – Totodile – Espeon – Noctowl – …

    I think we could try to do that! Let’s start then:
