 Pokemon day is six days away and we've just had the announcement of the next Pokemon direct we're going to cover all the details on that as well as the next upcoming seven star terror event in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet but before we get into today's video please subscribe to the channel remember you can always unsubscribe later if you would like to but like I said we've just had the announcement of the next Pokemon direct it is going to be a big one it is for Pokemon day and will be happening on the 27th of February so we can hop over now Pokemon have just put a tweet out the next hashtag Pokemon presents is on the way trainers tune in to our official YouTube channel at 6 a.m. PST on February the 27th for about 20 minutes so a lot of content we're gonna get exciting Pokemon news in celebration of Pokemon day 2023 and then there is this little video to go along with it so we'll play that hopefully the sounds all right for you guys it's a very nice little video teaser and very I don't know if it's given us hints here with the Gen 1 music quick look at this Bulbasaur Venus all yet Charizard blast toys ooh it's the canto polka dex canto polka dex up to Pidgeotto and then the Gen 1 music big hints at what will be coming and I think it has a lot to do with the virtual console the Gameboy virtual console if that was my that would be my best guess I would say in a big hint but you know how much Pokemon loves Gen 1 as well as the original game so it could just be a coincidence as well but I do feel like with the Gameboy console coming on to the switch the silhouettes of the canto polka dex or the start of the canto polka dex in that silhouette circle before we get the information it does seem like that's gonna happen and obviously with it being 20 minutes long as well we're gonna get a bunch of stuff we'll cover everything from the switch side of things from Pokemon go Pokemon Masters Pokemon Unite we're gonna get an array of announcements for a bunch of Pokemon games and things going on TCG as well obviously as well in there so that is a lot to look forward to Monday coming up 27th of February 6 a.m. PST which translates into about 2 p.m. UTC and then 9 a.m. Eastern time so translate that into your relevant time zone we'll be streaming it here live on the channel if you are interested in coming and hanging out probably will start the stream in an hour earlier before the present starts get the hype going and then enjoy the presents together and see what we get going into 2023 it's gonna be a big one okay on to the next thing so the next seven star terror event has been announced and it is gonna be all based around Pikachu the mascot of Pokemon which is quite fitting for it in commemorations with Pokemon day and the weekend of Pokemon day happening every running from the 24th and actually this one looks like it's gonna be an extended time period normally they finish on the Sunday evening it looks like this one from the information that we've got here will be finishing on Monday the 27th of February so on Pokemon day itself at 2359 so if this is based off Japanese time that will mean it will be about 259 UTC time so as soon as we do get the full confirmation of this event over in other time zones then we will confirm it but it does look like it will be the regular starting time of midnight Thursday evening rolling Friday and then running right through all of Pokemon day up until the end of Pokemon day and that's when it'll finish but it'll vary time zones depending where you are you can only catch one Pikachu per save file it does have the mightiest mark so it will have that seven star feature and obviously it will be a pretty tough battle I think it's gonna be probably tougher than people expect I think because of its electric typing it will have access to some of those big signature electric type attacks that Pikachu does have access to probably has lightning rod as well and you can imagine a tell I am something like the lightball we can just speculate at this point but maybe not as tough as some of the other seven star raids that we've had in the past but who knows but a nice event I think all the same so for Pikachu and you never know they might give us a boosted shiny chance encounter of the seven star raids although all the other seven star raids have been shiny locked so let's probably not expect too much from this event like I say running this coming weekend so not very much time to prepare for it but running in conjunction with Pokemon day and as soon as we do get further information on the event of course we'll cover it here on the channel especially when the event goes live itself and if you would like me to do some best builds examples for this Pikachu things like Gastrodon are gonna be really good into this one with that water typing that it's gonna have access to you're gonna think that it's probably gonna have something like surf maybe is a bonus move Gastrodon gonna be really good especially with that ground typing and the storm drain ability as well you're gonna have to watch out for things like grass knot which Pikachu I believe does have access to which could be a little problematic but some big news today like I said the big one is gonna be the Pokemon direct set is gonna be happening on Pokemon day on the 27th and this link here just refers to the Pokemon YouTube channel where the direct will be happening live and I don't think there's been any updates on the channel yet to say anything different no so this is where it will be live and on the times that we've discussed in today's video what are you expecting us to get in the present still that is the big thing that's a big question that I've got going into this are we gonna get the DLC information I'm pretty certain that we're gonna see DLCs confirmed for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet I really am confident that we're gonna see the Gameboy games dropping on the virtual console on the switch at least red blue and yellow I would imagine those will get dropped as well as maybe something like Pokemon Stadium and then everything else is up in the air there's lots of speculation and leaks things going around at the minute especially about Mystery Dungeon and other games as well but I'm sure there's a few surprises in the pipeline that Pokemon have for us and hopefully they're all good ones that will enjoy but like I say we will be streaming it here on the channel on the 27th at 2 p.m. UTC we'll start about an hour before I'll make sure the schedules up in plenty of time so if you would like to come and join us and hang while we watch the presents I would love to have you join me so thank you so much for tuning in I look forward to hearing all your
