Pokémon Day 2025: Celebrations, Exclusive Releases, and Exciting Announcements!
Pokémon fans, today is the day we’ve all been waiting for—Pokémon Day 2025! Every year on February 27th, we celebrate the anniversary of the Pokémon franchise, and this year is no exception. Whether you’re hunting for special collectibles, claiming in-game freebies, or eagerly awaiting major announcements, there’s plenty to be excited about!
The Origin of Pokémon Day
For those new to the celebration, Pokémon Day marks the release of the original Pokémon Red and Green games in Japan on February 27, 1996. Since then, it has grown into a global celebration of all things Pokémon. We’ve covered Pokémon Day in previous years, detailing its history and significance—check out our past articles for a nostalgic look back:
