To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Pokémon, Kenneth Shepard asked folks in the video game industry to share a story about what makes Pokémon so special for Kotaku. The responses are personal, nostalgic and a true delight to read! They’re also the perfect warm up to the Pokémon Day Presents showcase on Friday

Every year there is a theme to help ground and guide the celebrations. For 2026 the theme is “Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future” theme aims to:
expand our understanding of sustainability beyond just environmental concerns. It encompasses financial sustainability, community resilience, leadership succession, and intergenerational equity. Whether developing green technologies, advancing economic justice, strengthening education systems, or building civic power – women are designing blueprints for sustainable transformation. This theme affirms that shaping a sustainable future means fostering systems that support both people and the planet.
