"Pokemon was created by Satoshi Tajiri and originated as an electronic games series from Nintendo that debuted in Japan on February 27, 1996, and that 2026 marks the 30th Anniversary of Pokemon, celebrating three decades of creativity, innovation, storytelling, and community building that continues to inspire generations of fans to explore, learn, and connect."
"The supervisors unanimously approved the measure to declare February 27 as Pokemon Day, for the purpose of celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Pokemon; and encouraging the public to participate in Pokemon related community activities."
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a declaration naming February 27 as Pokemon Day in the city. The measure celebrates the 30th anniversary of Pokemon, which originated as an electronic game series created by Satoshi Tajiri and debuted in Japan on February 27, 1996. The declaration aims to encourage public participation in Pokemon-related community activities. While Pokemon Go generated significant media attention approximately a decade ago, interest has largely cooled except among dedicated gamers and collectors. The timing coincides with San Francisco hosting the Pokemon World Championships at Moscone Center later in the summer and the presence of a popular Nintendo Store in Union Square.
