The Pokémon Company has revealed their plans and offerings for Pokémon Day. They’ve already confirmed a Pokémon Presents for the day of the event, February 27. The offerings will include the following:
- Eevee-themed merchandise, available at the Pokémon Center. Includes plushies, kitchenware, and more.
- Several noncompetitive Play! Pokémon events at select Pokémon League locations.
- First eleven episodes of Pokémon Horizons season 2 on BBC iPlayer. Current episodes of Pokémon Concierge are also available on their YouTube channel.
Check out the first episode of Pokémon Concierge below:
The Pokémon Company has not confirmed if certain games, such as Pokémon Legends Z-A, will be present at the upcoming Pokémon Presents event. However, it’s more than likely that it, alongside Pokemon GO and Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket, will receive updates at the showcase.
That same day, the new Pokémon anime titled Dragonite and the Mailman will premiere on the official Pokémon YouTube channel. The anime focuses on Hana, a girl that admires a Dragonite who serves as a postal worker. When she gets a letter addressed to no one, she sets out to find the sender alongside her Fuecoco. The sender is a boy named Rio, who wants to send the letter to his father in the Kanto region. With his father’s birthday approaching, it seems like he might not be able to receive the letter on time.
Nintendo and Pokémon fans can also look forward to the Nintendo Switch 2 console later this year. The Switch 2 features a new stand, new magnetic joycons, a mysterious new button, and a new dock. The console will likely also no longer suffer from joycon drift.
Nintendo will reveal more details about the console at the April 2 Nintendo Direct. Fans hoping to try the console out can attend the “Switch 2 Experience” events at participating venues around the world.
