It's the 27th February 2018, so that can mean only one thing - it's Pokémon Day! Yes, it's the 22nd anniversary of the Japanese release of Pokémon Red and Green, so to celebrate, the Pokémon Company is adding new content to everyone's favourite AR hit, Pokémon GO. How many times can we say Pokémon in one sentence?
Between now and tomorrow, all Pikachus caught out in the wild will be wearing a fetching party hat to show their love for the brand, and that's not all. New avatar items have also been added to the shop, which are themed around FireRed and LeafGreen. Because retro. You can also head on over to the official Pokémon website to share in the celebrations - although it seems, as of writing, the UK site has been updated but the NA is still waiting on someone to push a button...
Be sure to share how your'e celebrating Pokémon Day in the comments section below. Have you bagged a party Pikachu yet?

@MarcelRguez And Niantic have pulled this stunt four times.
It's getting old.
How about celebrating Pokemon or the switch in 4 days with a good old fashion announcement with some NEW games from ninty
@Hobbesyall Not going to happen with pokemon at least. But for another nintendo direct on March 3rd i still have hope for that as its the switch 1 year birthday!.
In fact i go further to say that i am now predicating a direct on 3rd of March!. From Nintendo.
@bones As long as they manage to present us with something exciting! Up until now 2018 is gonna be cake for Ninty rivals :3
This was vastly underwhelming.
Lol Reddit was going crazy thinking there was going to be a Pokemon Switch announcement. Of course it was going to be something insignificant.
At least this makes it easier to rank up with the "Pikachu Fan" medal. Only got 75 more left to reach Gold.
