Hi there. In this post, I cover some Pokemon Day reveals. The 2026 year is the 30th year of the Pokemon Franchise.
There is a Pokemon Presents video for those interested.
I cover more of the Pokemon TCG and the new Gen 10 Pokemon game.
Pokemon XP Convention At World Championships Event
Every year there is the Pokemon World Championships Event for Pokemon players who player either the Trading Card Game (TCG), the main series video game, Pokken Tournament, Pokemon Unite or Pokemon GO.
There will be a new convention called Pokemon XP. This will have a Pokemon Center store, activities, panels, autograph sessions, card shops and more.
A new art has been revealed from the Pokemon Presents video.
Opening Scene 30th Anniverary Merchandise
The opening scene of the Gameboy Pokemon game features Gengar facing off a Nidorino. Pokemon Center is releasing Opening Scene merchandise on their website.

Pokemon TCG - 30th Anniversary Set
For the Pokemon trading card game, there is a teaser trailer video for a special 30th anniversary set. The release date is around October 2026.
Not much information is known from the Pokemon Presents video. It felt like an announcement of an announcement.
My concern for the 30th anniversary TCG set is the rampant amount of scalpers. It is not easy to find sealed product. Prices have gone up a lot since Surging Sparks.
Generation 10 Pokemon Main Game News - Pokemon Winds & Waves
There is a new generation of Pokemon to be revealed. We have Pokemon Winds and Pokemon Waves. The release date is not for this year but in 2027. More time is needed. Even the main game is not release this year in 2026, there are still a bunch of other Pokemon games out there that get updates.

Maybe this new Pokemon game is inspired by New Zealand or Australia with all the water and scenery.
I get that Pikachu is a mascot Pokemon for the franchise. They released more forms of Pikachu. They are Mr. Windychu and Ms. Wavychu.

Starter Pokemon
Like with any new generation of Pokemon, there are 3 Starter Pokemon. You have a Grass type, a Fire type and a Water type. These are Browt, Pombon and Gecqua.

To me Browt looks somewhat similar to Rowlet from the Alola region and similar to Oricorio. Some people think that Browt looks like a green Angry Bird.
Pombon looks like my starter Pokemon if I play the game. It looks kind of different.
I don't know about Gecqua. It looks like Froakie and Sobble fused together.
Trailer Video of Pokemon Winds & Waves:
New Pokemon Jets By ANA
This one is news not from the Pokemon Presents video. Japanese Airline, All Nippon Airways (ANA) has announced three new Pokemon jets. This is to celebrate Pokemon's 30th anniversary.
Not much information has been released. They say coming 2026.
ANA do have interesting flight safety videos where they feature Pokemon.
What are your thoughts about Pokemon Day 2026? Anything that catches your eye?
