If any of you have snagged Pikachu in the last 24 hours, you may have noticed he’s all dolled up with a cute party hat to mark the celebrations. This Pikachu will never lose this party keepsake, so make sure you keep looking for him in the wild between now and March 6.

Pokémon TV will be running a limited-time movie marathon which includes 'Pokémon: The First Movie, Pokémon 4Ever,' and 'Pokémon - Zoroark: Master of Illusions. 'So if it’s been some time since you last caught up with Ash’s adventures, grab yourself some popcorn and hop on over to Pokemon.co.uk. You’ll also be able to catch 'Pokémon the Movie: Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel' on iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon Video. Hurry, though - you’ll only be able to catch the newest Pokémon movie today!

If you play the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online, logging into today will snag you an “extra-special Daily Bonus” , and Pokémon Shuffle will be offering some in-game specials, too.

And finally, the official Pokémon Twitch channel will be showcasing an array of Pokétastic broadcasts, from memorable Pokémon TCG matches, video games, and highlights from the Pokkén Tournament.
