smile sunday – happy 25th anniversary, pokémon!



# welcome to smile sunday!

turn your caps lock off and rave about whatever has made you **smile** this week! some things to smile about:

* **pokémon** turned **25 years old** this weekend! as part of the celebration, we got two brand-new game announcements: **pokémon brilliant diamond and pokémon shining pearl**, remakes of pokémon diamond and pearl versions coming in late 2021, and **pokémon legends: arceus**, an open-world rpg coming in early 2022! what are you looking forward to most about these games? what are some of your favorite memories from pokémon’s 25 years? what draws you most to the series?

* that wasn’t the only anniversary this past week—the **nintendo 3ds** also turned **10 years old**! what were some of your all-time favorite games for the system? any favorite home themes, console designs? what did you love most about the system?

* what’s this week’s haul? what game did you just buy, just start, complete? anything else that made you smile? let us know in the comments below!

# turn that frown upside down:

* here on smile sunday, we have one rule: e.l.e., which stands for *[everybody love everybody](https://i.giphy.com/media/ztBWNcGCyWxTq/giphy.mp4)*. if will ferrell said it, it must be true.

* uppercase letters are strictly forbidden – haha, **just kidding**! if you wanna do some uppercase, feel free, but try not to angry shout sunday; today is about happiness! (happy and excited shouting is a-ok, though)

* this is a happy thread! **keep the love flowing!** if someone’s saying something and you think they’re wrong, just let them be happy!
