More Pokémon Day details revealed

by

A post to the official Pokémon site has revealed more of what is in store for February 27, Pokémon Day.

We’re getting ready for fun events on February 27, better known around the world as Pokémon Day! It’s the day the first games in the Pokémon video game series, Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green, debuted in Japan in 1996. Recognized by fans around the world, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the world of Pokémon.

But before we can get there, we need input from every Pokémon fan. With the help of Google, we’re holding a Pokémon of the Year competition where you can vote for your favorite Pokémon. The voting period is from Wednesday, February 5, at 6 a.m. PST through Friday, February 14, at 5:59 a.m. PST.

To participate, search for “Pokemon vote” on Google. The voting screen will be displayed in your search results. Select the category you want to vote on from the eight choices. Then select one Pokémon from the list (sorted by National Pokédex number) and click the vote button. When you’re signed in to your Google account, you can cast one vote per category for a maximum of eight votes daily. You can vote only once in each category per day, but you can vote each day during the voting period. Votes will be counted based on the Pokémon’s National Pokédex number, even for Pokémon that have multiple forms, including regional forms.

Pokémon GO is getting a head start on the Pokémon Day excitement. Starting on Tuesday, February 25, keep an eye out in the wild for Pikachu and Eevee donning their party hats, as well as Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle sporting the same festive look and hatching from 7 km Eggs. In celebration of the Pokémon Day launch of the movie Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolutionon Netflix, special Pokémon clones including Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise will start to appear in Raid Battles. Plus, be sure to take a lot of pictures—you might notice that clone Pikachu will want to be in the shot, too. Finally, each day you’ll be able to complete two Special Trades instead of just one. There may be even more special events on the way, too, so check back soon for details. These events will take place every day through Monday, March 2.

Look forward to even more Pokémon Day fun, including the big reveal of a special, newly discovered Pokémon! There will also be news and updates for Pokémon Masters. Some special Max Raid Battles in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield will also launch that day. And remember, the full-length movie Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution will arrive on Netflix on Pokémon Day, too.

Be sure to visit Pokemon.com regularly as we’ll have updates as to what you can expect on Pokémon Day.

Who will you vote to be Pokémon of the year? Be sure to participate in this fun collaboration with Google!

  8. Special Max Raid battles that launch that day?
    Well GMax Toxtricity appears this Friday…

    I wonder if this is the Meltan/Melmetal distribution I’ve been waiting on. Since a GMax Melmetal would have to be caught, meaning if a Meltan is added to the games it would have to evolve without Go.
    I hope so. It’ll complete my 890 living dex.

    Johto: Crobat
    Hoenn: idk Hoenn’s hard for me because I hate half the region and love the other half. Banette or Metagross maybe?
    Sinnoh: Roserade
    Unova: I love Unova as a region but honestly I find the Pokemon pretty lacking compared to those of other regions. Stoutland, maybe?

  14. Toxtricity
    (Amped Formed)
    A high-voltage guitarist
    To generate electricity, it breaks down the poisons it takes into its body. During the process, Toxtricity stimulates its chest intensely, which produces a thrumming sound like a stringed instrument. It’s said to sound like a melody played on an electric guitar.

    Dynamic and aggressive
    Amped Form Toxtricity is extremely confident and short-tempered. When its eyes meet those of a person or another Pokémon, Toxtricity approaches them aggressively and attacks them, no matter who or what they are.

    Low Key
    A high-voltage bassist
    It has an electrical organ on its chest and generates electricity by strumming this organ. The organ is said to be very dangerous, capable of generating 15,000 volts of electricity. While generating electricity, Low Key Form Toxtricity produces a rhythmic sound like an electric bass guitar keeping a precise beat.

    Low-key yet provocative
    Low Key Form Toxtricity holds its own strength in high regard and often acts selfishly. When it meets a person or another Pokémon, it won’t initiate an attack, but it will taunt them until they start a fight.

  17. Watched Lego Masters on Phox
    It was… interesting but Will Arnett kinda steals every scene

    The designs were phenomenal but it kinda makes me feel like I could never construct anything half as good without a really good idea.

    And I would murder literally anyone in the world for a chance to work in that workshop. My stupid little dream is building a great Lego workshop filled with every type of brick imaginable so I could spend my days just assembling whatever my brain can think of, it’s essentially my Valhalla

    • I think we have a version of that here. Not anyone as good as Will Arnett hosting though.

      I would love to do that myself, though I’ve not had any Lego for quite some years now, I’d soon get stuck back into it.

  19. I wonder if the winner of the poll will get something cool like a new dynaform or just a distribution event. But here’s my basic taste anyways

    Kanto: Dragonite
    Johto: Stantler
    Hoenn: Sableye
    Sinnoh: Lucario
    Unova: Chandelure
    Kalos: Espurr
