Today is Pokemon Day and all these hardware goodies are proving super effective against my bank balance

Pokemon Day is February 27, and this year is going to be a doozy. 2026 is a major anniversary, too, marking 30 years since the games’ original release in Japan. As such, whether you’ve been playing ever since Pokemon Red and Green made their debut in 1996, or have just got back into the series with Pokémon Legends: Z-A like me, there’s plenty to celebrate.

Nintendo and co. are likely cooking up a few things to reveal on the day itself, but you also needn’t wait around for Pokemon-themed goodies. Just for a start, the Miku Hatsune collaboration song hit me right in my cold, black heart. Though, if you don’t happen to share my Vocaloid obsession, you can also get your hands on a range of Pokemon-themed hardware right now.
