Each year, The Pokémon Company International commemorates this date with new products and promotions that give Pokémon fans around the world new ways to interact with the Pokémon brand.

The following are highlights of happenings this Pokémon Day from The Pokémon Company International.

Trainers can look for Pikachu wearing a party hat through February 28 at 9 p.m. GMT.

Social Media: In addition to the Snapchat festivities, fans are invited to join the conversation online with #PokemonDay.

Pikachu Talk - Have a Chat with Pikachu!

You and Pikachu will have a lot to discuss when you start the Pikachu Talk skill for Amazon Alexa and Google Home.

Haven't you always wondered what it would be like to have a Pokémon friend of your very own? Think of the adventures you would go on, the battles you would face, and the conversations you would have.

Wait…conversations? Yes, indeed! With the Pikachu Talk skill for Amazon Alexa or Google Home devices, you can now experience the joy of chatting with the famous Pokémon. You can talk to Pikachu about anything, and you're sure to hear all sorts of wonderful and charming responses. What good is having a partner if you can't shoot the breeze with them every once in a while?

Ask Pikachu to “use Thunderbolt,” and hear if it's in the mood to use its electrifying move! Say “tell me a funny story,” and Pikachu will spin a yarn as only it can. If it's your special day, just ask Pikachu to sing “Happy Birthday to You.” Even something silly like “say ‘pizza' 10 times” will get Pikachu chatting!

There's plenty more for you and Pikachu to talk about—to get started, say “Open Pikachu Talk!”

The Pokémon Company Ltd. will release an original AI Speaker application called Pikachu Talk (ピカチュウトーク) in Japan during 2018 for AI speakers such as Google Home, Google Home Mini and Amazon Alexa. Those that have a compatible AI speaker can enjoy a conversation with the popular character Pikachu through Pikachu Talk.


Takayuki Shindo and Kei Ogawa of The Pokémon Company discussed the development of the device with Watch Impress. Kei Ogawa is also in-charge of developing the Pokémon GO Plus peripheral for the smartphone application Pokémon GO.

Since smart speakers are just in their infancy, the development team focused on simple functions such as a having a basic conversation with Pikachu so that anyone could enjoy it.

Akihito Toda (戸田昭吾) also worked with the development team. Mr. Toda is best known for his work on the Pocket Monsters anime doing numerous lyrics of opening songs and ending songs. Mr. Toda helped with the script to make it seem more natural. Since there are many different scenarios, it was neccessary for Pikachu voice actress Ikue Ōtani (大谷育江) to record more than 100 different voice patterns.

The Pikachu in Pikachu Talk is not Satoshi's Pikachu that we all know from the anime, despite Ikue Ōtani doing the voice acting. If you say the name "Satoshi" or the name of other Pokémon Trainers from the animation, it will not recognize or react differently.
