Hello and welcome to episode 159 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we're telling the origin story of the very first Pokemon Day back in 2016. It's incredible that over the last nine years this has grown so much into what we now expect and know as Pokemon Day and of course all the news in Pokemon Presents. It was fun to look back to see how this important day for Pokemon actually came to be and how connected to Nintendo it was in its first few years. Also in this episode, we're playing SO many games that we're excited to tell you about including Monster Hunter Wilds and Avowed. Throughout the episode, we're also sharing some incredible memories from our community about their first encounters with Pokemon. So get comfy and let's get into it!
