The New 3DS Pokemon 20th Anniversary Edition will be officially launching tomorrow, but some fans are already getting their hands on the system. Continue on below for an unboxing video.

Today’s Pokemon Direct will begin one hour from now. We’ve embedded the live stream below, similar to past presentations.

Since the broadcast will only last five (update: six) minutes, we’ve decided that a live blog wouldn’t make much sense. However, any major news will be added to the site immediately.

Update: You can find an announcement about the Pokemon Photo Booth and other 20th anniversary activities for Saturday after the break.


In celebration of Pokemon’s 20th anniversary, a new app has arrived on the App Store. Fans can download the “Pokemon Photo Booth” for free.

By using the app, you can show your Pokemon 20th spirit by customizing portraits and adding captions in the style of classic Pokemon games. Photos can be shared or used to create Pokemon-themed profile photos.

You can download the app here. There are also plans to bring it soon to Google Play.

Update: Here’s a photo of the European Pokemon Yellow 2DS theme:

When you purchase the New 3DS Pokemon 20th Anniversary Edition, a pair of themes will be included. You can see what both look like above.

Also included in the package is the New 3DS itself, pre-installed copies of Pokemon Red/Blue, and two cover plates.

Update: Small extra tidbit, but today’s PR for the Pokemon Photo Booth app says the Pokemon Direct will have “big news.”


Today, Nintendo announced that a special Pokemon Direct will air this Friday. The company will have news about “the latest on Pokemon games.”

It’ll be streamed at the following times:

– 7 AM PT
– 10 AM ET
– 3 PM in the UK
– 4 PM in Europe

We’ll have a live stream for the Pokemon Direct before it begins – possibly a live blog as well. Note that the presentation will only last five minutes.
