Are you looking to throw your child the ultimate Pokemon birthday party? If your daughter or son is big into Pokemon, there are so many fun and simple ways to turn their party into one they will never forget! However, there are a few factors to remember before planning the ultimate Pokemon birthday party.
Whether you are trying to keep it lowkey with only a few family members or you want to throw the biggest bash on the block, these ideas are the perfect place to start when planning a Pokemon party.
What to Consider When Planning a Birthday Party
The first thing you must consider when planning a birthday party for your child is what type of party they want or enjoy. Do they prefer something quiet and lowkey? Is it possible they want a few simple decorations and only family? Do they want a big blowout with over-the-top decorations, food, and games? Additionally, you may be looking for something that falls in the middle. Whatever you are looking for, the ideas on this list can jog your brain and help you plan the best Pokemon birthday party!
Another factor to consider is the age of your child. A two-year-old child will want different food, games, and more, versus a child who is turning eleven. Once you plan what type of party you want to throw for your child, you can move on to finding the best food, games, and decorations to have at the party!

Food For A Pokemon Birthday
You can take food for a Pokemon birthday party in many different directions. One of the more popular options includes a variation of the Pokemon ball. This can be done in several different ways! First, for the top, you can cut up red fruits like strawberries or vegetables such as red peppers. Then, cut up white fruit or vegetables for the bottom and place black or blue fruit or vegetables in the middle. A cute variation of this snack plate comes from Ruffles and Rainboots here:
Fruit and vegetable platters like the ones pictured here from Fab Everyday are also a great way to offer the children at the party healthy snacks but still keep it cute and simple:
In addition, a cute pizza version can be a great main dish!
Additionally, fruit skewers make an excellent snack. Just be careful with the sharp end if any small children are attending the party.
If you are a big fan of finger foods for a party, you can place some out in bowls and give them names after the various Pokemon like Fab Everyday does here.
Also, when it comes to drinks, opt for primary colors like blue and yellow lemonade, and give them cute Pokemon names!
Another cute addition would be to add a Pikachu face to yellow solo cups for the extra decorations at the food table.
Games For a Pokemon Birthday
When it comes to games, there are so many different ones to choose from for a birthday party! We have many fun and engaging games on our website if you want to peruse them. These include charades, mouse hunts, and elephant tug of war.
However, if you are searching for games geared more towards the Pokemon theme, here are a few suggestions.
You can keep it simple and traditional with a pin the tail on the Pikachu game. You may be able to find variations of this game on Amazon, but if not, it can be made by hand with a marker, artistic talent, and posterboard.
If the birthday party is in the middle of the summer, you can have a water balloon toss. Split off into teams, give each team a water balloon with a Pokemon face on it, and get to tossing!
The punch party game is a new, fun one taking the party world by storm. While this game can take many forms, Care Free Crafts gives a cute version of a Pokemon ball. To make this adorable and fun game, you fill solo cups with prizes (though there can be many variations), hot glue tissue paper over the top, and hot glue the cups onto cardboard. Each kid will take turns punching the cups for a prize. We like to put a spin on this game and ask trivia questions before the child gets to punch the cup. For a Pokemon-themed game, you can ask trivia about the show and various Pokemon!
Another fun game is Pokemon bowling. Draw Pokemon faces on construction paper, place them on cans, and make sure you remember a Poke ball!
