Pokémon Day is fastly approaching and The Pokémon Company has outlined its plans for this year’s celebration. Pokémon Day begins on February 27th, the anniversary of the release of the very first Pokémon games in Japan.
Starting February 23rd, Pokémon TCG fans can participate in Trade & Play events happening at GameStop and Best Buy in the United States. Trainers can meet up with other Pokémon fans to battle and trade, and pick up a free oversize booster pack—containing a three-card mini pack and other fun goodies—while supplies last.
From February 27 through May 5. Fans can visit Twitch to watch episodes from Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl, Pokémon the Series: Black & White, and Pokémon the Series: XY, as well as select movies., fans can watch all the Pokémon episodes on Twitch.tv. Twitch will also feature some of their favorite episodes and movies all day on February 27, highlighting Pokémon such as Pikachu, Zekrom, Eevee, Snorlax, and others that appear as part of a TAG TEAM in the recently released Pokémon TCG: Sun & Moon—Team Up expansion.
In addition to these plans, Disney XD in the US will air fan-favorite episodes on February 27 starting at 3:30 p.m. Plus, YTV in Canada will air a marathon of the final four episodes of Sun & Moon—Ultra Adventures starting at 1 p.m. PST.
Lastly, The Pokémon Center will be releasing a new line of premium apparel called Poké Ball Classics. The collection includes clothes and accessories featuring a Poké Ball pattern, launching on February 27th.
