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.
