International Pokémon Day!

Hug us.

Happy International Pokémon Day! Since I don’t live in the universe where I could actually break out a Thunder Stone and evolve my Pikachu, I’m going to have to celebrate virtually. Guess I’ll pick up a pair of red suspenders and play Pokémon Red all Misty-style. I’m pretty sure my Game-boy is somewhere, and if there were ever a day to be nostalgic about my childhood, this would be it. Tonight: dance party to the Pokérap.

Happy hunting, fellow trainers.

In the meantime, Pokémon release dates here.
