Happy Pokemon Day, Here’s everything happening

It’s February 27th, and although we have to wait until later tonight or in most cases early tomorrow morning for the Pokémon Presents – it’s Pokémon Day. Yes, on this day 29 years ago Pokémon Red and Green first launched in Japan and that means it’s time to celebrate.

So what’s happening around the place, there’s lots of in-game events, merch to pick up and things to do. Here’s a wrap up of a few of them.

Pokémon Presents

What new things will get from this year’s Pokémon Presents, hopefully a first look at Pokémon Legends Z-A and who knows what else. Here’s when you’ll need to be up. It’ll be on the Pokémon YouTube channel once live.

Pokémon Concierge

Until March 9th, the wonderful Pokémon Concierge series is available to watch on YouTube. Previously it has been only on Netflix. It’s adorable.

Dragonite and the Special Delivery

This short animation features Hana, and a Dragonite postman. So far it’s only available in Japanese but we suspect it’ll drop in English sometime today – you would think.

Hana’s search leads her to Rio, a boy who wrote the letter to celebrate his father’s birthday.
His father, working alone in Kanto, is far away—and today is already his birthday!
Can Hana and Dragonite deliver the letter in time?
