==Other events==
"Pokémon Day" was also the name for a series of yearly events held in various European countries such as [[Pokémon Day (Germany)|Germany]], [[Pokémon Day (Italy)|Italy]], and [[Pokémon Day (the Netherlands)|the Netherlands]] since 2004. These events were usually to promote recently released Pokémon games or movies, often with event Pokémon distributions. These events have either ceased or been replaced by Pokémon Kids Tours.

In {{pmin|Singapore}} on November 24, 2014, an event also called "Pokémon Day" was held after a soccer game between {{wp|Albirex Niigata}} and {{wp|Home United FC}}. The event was sponsored by Nintendo and local distributor Maxsoft, and a {{Shiny}} [[XY Gengar|Gengar]] was given away to visitors.
