On August 29th from 12–2 PM local time, Best Buy is celebrating 30 years of Pokémon in the most Poké-tastic way possible! Stores nationwide are hosting Pokémon Day Trade & Play events, and they’re bringing all the gotta catch ’em all energy. ⚡️

Grab your kids (and their friends!) and head to select stores to learn the Pokémon Trading Card Game, trade favorite cards with fellow Trainers, and score a FREE trading kit (while supplies last). One epic afternoon of play, trade, and Pokémon fun! ⚡️Head over here to find a participating store near you.

👉 HIP TIP: Events are in-store, and freebies are limited, so it pays to show up early. Trainers who arrive first usually catch the best stuff.
