Pokémon Day 2026 at Gnome Games Appleton East

Join us at Gnome Games Appleton East for Pokémon Day 2026!
On Saturday, February 28th we’re celebrating Pokémon Day 2026! This year marks the 30th anniversary of Pokémon, and we have lots of ideas for celebrating! Starting from open at 10 AM and running until close at 7 PM, we’ll have creative activities, exclusive promos, and a Professor on staff to battle players all day! Challenge the professor to receive trinkets, Pokémon Prize Packs, and most importantly, bragging rights. Will you beat the Professor and claim victory?
We’re also hosting exclusive giveaways for Pokémon products throughout the day! Come in, participate in an activity, challenge the Professor, and more to get entered in for various prizes!
What is Pokemon Day?
Every year on February 27, Pokémon fans around the world celebrate Pokémon Day to commemorate the release of the very first Pokémon video games in Japan. These games were Pokémon Red and Pokémon Green, originally released on 27 February 1996! Now, Pokémon has grown into a worldwide phenomenon that brings joy to various parts of people’s lives.
