Pokemon Day is here! And these Nintendo Switch controllers from PowerA are the best way to celebrate the special day and embrace everything pocket monster in your Switch setup. 

There's nothing better as a fan of a game series - and particularly one that's as colourful and vibrant as Pokemon - than kitting out your gaming setup with official merch and accessories. It adds a little personalisation and flair to the setup, and takes it beyond the 'out-of-the-box look'.

And for Nintendo Switch players, what better way to do this than add a neat Pokemon-themed controller this Pokemon Day? PowerA has long been makers of some of the best Nintendo Switch accessories, and there's a whole raft of designs and aesthetics to choose from with both wired and wireless connections. But also don't forget about carrying your Switch safely: you can pick up a sweet Pikachu-themed case to protect your console too.

You'll find all our favorite Pokemon Nintendo Switch controllers just below, in both the US and UK.
