First off, I had a lot of explaining to do to the boy on how you CAN have your party on a day other than your actual birthday. After a lot of tears on his end ("But I won't be six yet") and a lot of assurances on my end ("If you have your party on a Monday most people can't come") what finally convinced him was the realization that he would get presents from his friends on Sunday and then MORE presents from family on Monday.
The Pikachu cake I made all by myself. I think I did a pretty good job for having never taken any cake decorating classes!
The Drifloons we made for decoration. They are the balloon Pokemon - feel free to google it and you can see what a good job the kids and I did on them.
We played some Pokemon bingo.
Find the Pokeballs in the back yard. Think of Easter egg hunting, but for little styrofoam balls colored like red and white Pokeballs. Thank goodness the weather was perfect.
A little hanging out with friends.
And of course yummy cake. 
We didn't get a very good group shot of all the party attendees, but everyone did seem to have a good time. We seemed to get so many shots of Alex with a big grin on his face, so I know at least the birthday boy was happy.

They are great, and Alex looks so, so happy!
You are truly amazing. I could never do this sort of thing. Great cake! See my "recipe" series on my blog to see why I'm the crappiest cook ever.
