It seems that every day of the week has some sort of obscure international celebration attributed to it, but here's one we can definitely get behind because next Tuesday is Pokémon Day! Woooo!
Okay, so it's not a national holiday and a reason to have the day off work/school/college (and it definitely should be), but it's a great excuse to celebrate all things small, monstrous and Japanese. You can use the official #PokemonDay hashtag to share your Poké-related celebrations, so be sure to tag us on Twitter so we can all share in the love.
Will you be celebrating this holiest of days? Maybe a little Pokémon GO? Perhaps a splash of Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon? Go on, share your thoughts with us...

They should have hijacked that awful "Valentine" holiday to give us incomplete halves some respite.
Warmly,
Single By Force
I wonder if this makes a gen 8 announcement this month more or less likely...
Holiest of days?! Not even funny at all. I do like Pokémon, and Pikachu, but can't imagine this needing a "day" to "celebrate". I feel like it's enough of a celebration just to enjoy the older Pokémon games I have and play. 🤷🏼♀️
Gen 8 announcement?
Missed a chance at obvious joke, a Pokebank holiday.
I've already been playing a Pokemon Rom hack while I drink my morning coffee before work. So I will probably keep doing that. US/UM lost me faster than any previous Pokemon game. But here is to hoping that Pokemon offers us even the tiniest of teasers for the Switch game. Even just a small hint.
For reference,
Pokemon Platinum 320 hours
Heart Gold about 500
Black about 450
Black 2 250
Y 800 (shiny hunting and breeding)
Moon around 350 hours
Ultra Moon.... 45.
I played the heck out of the gen 1-3 games too, but don't remember playtimes.
I am really hoping the Switch game will revive the series for me. Until then I will content myself with Rom hacks and other series.
@sillygostly I thought Pokemon games were broken in two so that one could find their soulmate this way. It worked with Pokemon Go for my brother anyway.
But it’s not a PokeMonday...
True intellectuals realize the date of Tuesday, February Twenty-seventh as IHOP Pancakes pancakes pancakes day.
@SmaggTheSmug : Pokémon Go isn't split up into two games though.
O betrothed, betrothed, where art thou betrothed?
Most of the Internet will spend it begging for Nintendo Directs and Pokémon Switch info/Gen. 4 remakes. 😂
I wonder they will leak gen 8
it be nice if they could give us some announcements like the game for the Switch but i dont think they will
I don't expect anything Pokémon Switch related this month. Next month, however...
Will be playing either Pokémon Crystal or Ultra Sun. Not sure which one yet. Maybe I’ll play both
I guess I could finally make a start on my second team. God knows I've put that off.
I’ll be a Magic Kingdom on Tuesday, which is a great place to catch Pokémon. So i’ll definitely be doing some Pokémon Go on the 27th.
Okay, but why is it Pokémon Day? That isn't really explained.
For Pokémon Go in particular it'll be an excuse to do another event anyway, maybe.
@RupeeClock Maybe the 27th is the day the Helix Fossil was first discovered
@RupeeClock it marks the anniversary of Red and Green's release in Japan.
I'd like there to be an announcement of sorts but not holding my breath.
Maybe I'll buy some games if there's a special Pokemon Day sale or something...
It's worth a shot.
I will play Pokémon SoulSilver that I bought on ebay this week.
@Heavyarms55 lol funny how people are to cheap to buy a game lol
It's more likely that I'll be celebrating my parents' birthdays instead (they both technically fall on that week), but I might shell out a classic game or two in the evening.
Sims 4 Jungle Adventures is coming out that day, so I will be 'celebrating.'
It'd be cooler if they actually did something special for it. Something not related to Pokemon GO, anyways...
I'll just be waiting over here for Piccolo Da- er, Goku Day. Yeah, that's what I meant.
C'mon NL; we all know every day is Rusev Day.
@Slim1999 What are you talking about? I buy every game I play. I don't even rent. The only time I play games that are not bought are rom hacks. AKA free, fan made modded games. And even then, I don't play them if I don't own the original base game.
How bizarre, my Birthday.
Pokemon Go double experience day plzkthx
I would LOVE that this becomes a tradition.
