It may sound odd, but the upcoming Pokemon GO Research Day in September features Oddish! Oddish, one of the original Kanto crew is set to be the show’s star. And really, who can blame anyone? That rotund little face (or is it its body?) is enough to get even the most stoic of trainers smiling. Here is everything you need to know about Pokemon GO’s upcoming Oddish Research Day.
