Happy Pokémon Day everyone!! 22 years ago today (back in 1996) two indie games known as Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green launched in Japan and would change the world for kids, parents, and normal adults around the world!!
Today we celebrate ALL things Pokémon, which includes tons of promotional tie-ins, giveaways, celebrations, and more!! Here is everything you can do on Pokémon Day!!
Pokémon GO
You can catch a limited-edition Pikachu wearing a striped purple party hat that could be a shiny variation. You can also customize your avatar to look like Red from the original Pokémon games!
Make Your Alexa/Google Home Sound Like Pikachu
If you own a voice-enabled device at home like any Amazon Alexa or Google Home device you can download a new Pikachu Talk app, which will make your device sound and respond like Pikachu!
Take a Snap with Your Favorite Pokémon
Starting yesterday Snapchat users can take a snap with their starter Pokémon from the Kanto region (Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow) beginning with a Bulbasaur lens! A Charmander lens will arrive three days later, followed by a Squirtle lens.

Starting today you can watch EVERY Pokémon movie ever, but let's be honest Pokémon: The First Movie was the best! However, the newest movie, Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!, will be available to watch for free on the Pokémon TV app and Pokémon's website!
