SEPTEMBER 23 EXAMPLE
One birthday, two starting points
Each match is your day number plus 366 × 0, 1 or 2. The option changes the day number, so it changes the Pokemon.
Switch off · January 1 start
September 23 is day 267.
- #267 = 267 + 0 × 366
- #633 = 267 + 1 × 366
- #999 = 267 + 2 × 366
Switch on · February 27 start
February 27 is day 58, so September 23 becomes day 267 − 58 + 1 = 210.
- #210 = 210 + 0 × 366
- #576 = 210 + 1 × 366
- #942 = 210 + 2 × 366
We stop at National Pokedex #1025. The next numbers would be #1365 with the switch off and #1308 with it on; both exceed that limit.
02 / QUESTIONS
A few quick
answers.
Do I need a birth year? What about February 29?
No birth year is needed. We always count on a 366-day calendar, so February 29 is day 60 and has its own matches, even in years without a leap day.
Why do I get two or three Pokemon?
We match every National Pokedex number up to #1025. Days 1–293 in the cycle have three matches; days 294–366 have two.
What changes when I start on Pokemon Day?
The default count starts on January 1. Turn on the option to make February 27 day 1 instead. That date marks the original Japanese release of Pokemon Red and Green in 1996. The new starting point changes which Pokemon match your birthday; both modes use the same fan-made rule.
Where do the Pokemon details come from?
Names, types, descriptions and cries come from PokéAPI. Artwork comes from PokeAPI/sprites. We apply the fan-made birthday-to-Pokedex-number matching rule.
