Today is Pokémon Day and fans of the iconic franchise can take advantage of Pokémon Day deals. Now is an opportune time to snag discounts on Pokémon games and accessories for Nintendo Switch, collectible Pokémon Funko Pops!, Pokémon trading cards, and more. 

Retailers are celebrating Pokémon Day with discounts on Pokémon games as well as Pokémon-themed carrying cases, and controllers for the Nintendo Switch. We're also seeing significant markdowns on Pokémon collectibles like Funko Pop! vinyl figures and Pokémon TCG Trainer boxes.

This year's Pokémon Day marks the 28th anniversary of the release of the first Pokémon game in Japan back in 1996. My introduction to Pokémon was in the late 90s at college when a friend of mine loaned me Pokémon Red. From the moment I launched it on my Atomic Game Boy Color, I was hooked! Luckily, my friend was kind enough to let me hold onto the game for as long as I wanted.  

From games to trading cards, shop today's best Pokémon Day deals below.
