\nPaul Gale Network wants to invite the world to celebrate together in Pok\u00e9mon’s 20th anniversary with a very special Global Pok\u00e9rap!<\/p>\n

As a 32 year old video gamer, journalist, and industry adviser, Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> is a franchise that I feel has left one of the most powerful impacts on pop culture. Nintendo is celebrating this series’ 20th anniversary in a big way this year, by bringing Pok\u00e9mon Blue, Pok\u00e9mon Red, and Pok\u00e9mon Yellow to systems in the Nintendo 3DS family (February 27th), releasing Pokk\u00e9n Tournament on the Wii U (March 18th), Pok\u00e9mon GO on iPhone and Android devices (2016), new Pok\u00e9mon cards, rare Pok\u00e9mon digital distribution events, partnering with Build-a-Bear<\/a> in releasing a special Pikachu plush, and possibly some surprises!<\/p>\n

Since Nintendo<\/a> and The Pok\u00e9mon Company have been so awesome to us for the last 20 years and are continuing to be great in 2016 by giving us even more Pok\u00e9mon fun, I thought it would be nice to give something back and that’s what Paul Gale Network’s Global Pok\u00e9rap is all about. All you have to do to participate is submit a 1 second clip of yourself saying one of the original 150 Pok\u00e9mon to Paul Gale Network. Here’s how you can join the fun:<\/p>\n

How to submit using Twitter: @PaulGaleNetwork<\/a> Here’s my #Pokemon20 #PokemonPGN #NameOfPokemonYouWishToSubmit video!<\/p>\n

How to submit using Instagram: @PaulGaleNetwork <\/a> Here’s my Pokemon20 PokemonPGN #NameOfPokemonYouWishToSubmit video!<\/p>\n

How to submit using Facebook: Facebook.com\/PaulGaleNetworkPGN<\/a> Here’s my Pokemon20 PokemonPGN #NameOfPokemonYouWishToSubmit video!<\/p>\n

How to submit using YouTube: YouTube.com\/PaulGale<\/a> Here’s my Pokemon20 PokemonPGN #NameOfPokemonYouWishToSubmit video!<\/p>\n

We will do our best to use every single entry we get, even if there are multiple entries per Pok\u00e9mon. PGN will also be updating the list below from time to time with how many entries there currently are for each Pok\u00e9mon. To best ensure that your submission gets used, however, use the Comments Section below to share your link with PGN.<\/p>\n

To give an example just to be clear, if you’re using Instagram and want to submit yourself saying Pikachu, it would go like this: @PaulGaleNetwork Here’s my #Pokemon20 #PokemonPGN #Pikachu video! You can say more than that if you wish, but by using those three hastags, it will allow us to find you and keep track of your submission. The plan is to run this event from Febraury 7th to May 7th and release\/give Paul Gale Network’s Global Pok\u00e9rap to Nintendo as a special gift on June 1st, just before E3 2016.<\/p>\n

I hope you all have fun filming and submitting! Whether it’s you solo on screen recording yourself, you with a group of friends all shouting at once, or anything else you can think up…I’m looking forward to your entries and working on this project. Thank you and here’s to the #Pokemon20 commercial<\/a> today during Super Bowl 50<\/a>, Pok\u00e9mon Day on February 27th, and this series all year round! Gotta catch ’em all!<\/p>\n
