Pokemon Red, Yellow and Blue coming to Nintendo eShop in February 2016

Breaking news: Pokemon Red, Yellow and Blue are being released for the 3DS in February 2016!

European Release date (includes UK): 27th February 2016.

These games will not be remakes and will remain as they were upon initial release, however, adjustments have been made so that 3DS trading is possible. The Pokemon Bank feature is not expected to be feasible, nor is importing/exporting from other games. The good news is the lack of the internal battery save features means you will not suffer permanent loss of data at any point. The game will use the regular 3DS save feature.

Here’s to the upcoming nostalgia!

Build-A-Bear Pikachu Event coming to the UK, Europe, Australia and the US in 2016.

Build-A-Bear has announced that they will be offering you the chance to stuff your very own Pikachu with love in their stores throughout Europe, the UK and the United States from 2016.

Pikachu will not only have his/her own selection of clothing such as a Pokeball hoodie and a Charizard costume (much like the 2015 releases of the Pikachu plush wearing the dragon capes including Charizard), you will also have the opportunity to give your little Pika their very own sound chip!

The plush toys are available both in stores and online, however customers choosing the online retailers will be given their own Pokemon card.
