Not content with just releasing Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow on the Virtual Console, Nintendo is looking to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the beloved Pokémon series in a big way.

Nintendo has just announced that they will be airing a special Pokémon Direct on Friday 26th February at 4pm Central European Time (3pm for people in the UK).  That gives you just over 48 hours to make sure your body is ready.

You can view the broadcast on Twitch or the Nintendo Direct website.  Of course we'll also be talking about it in the N-Europe forum so be sure to head over there to share your predictions.

We recently spoke to Serebii.net owner Joe Merrick about his predictions for what is coming up for the franchise in this big year during our first episode of the N-Europe Show.  Find out what he had to say in the video below.
