Happy National Pokémon Day!
24 years ago, on February 27th, 1996, Pokémon Green and Pokémon Red were released on the GameBoy console, introducing us to 151 adorable little pokémon. Today, there are 8 generations of the game, 21 television series, 122 games, 890 pokémon, and even a mobile game (Pokémon Go!).
Growing up, I spent a lot of my time playing Pokémon games. When my brother and I weren’t playing on our GameBoy or Nintendo DS, we were trading cards or running around outside, pretending we had our own pokémon to battle with.
Even today, my friends and I are looking out for the newest game to add to our collections and trying to find time to catch 'em all!

Are you a Pokémon junkie? Here are some ways you can celebrate National Pokémon Day!
Play the game!
Of the 122 games, there is bound to be one that you love! So pick up your console and start playing!
Or you can play and trade your old cards. If you don’t have any of the games or cards, pick up your phone and start playing! There are no excuses with this one!
Watch the series or movies!
Netflix has two Pokémon series and three movies available to stream.
The newest movie, a Netflix original entitled Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back – Evolution is out today!
Hulu has four of the movies and four of the series (even more if you have the HBO add-on or Hulu Live).
If you don’t have either of these streaming platforms, you can enjoy the Official Pokémon Youtube Channel!
Wear some of your favorite Pokémon merch!
If you don’t have any, check out some of your favorite places to shop, such as Hot Topic, Amazon, Forever 21, and the Pokémon Center to get some cool new gear!
