The 2026 Pokémon World Championships and new Pokémon XP event have now concluded! Even if you weren't able to attend in person, there were top-tier battles to watch online and some new announcements at the end in the closing ceremony.
Curious to hear whether fans tuned in for battles, what they thought and hoping some of our members were able to attend in person!
I was really impressed with the stage they had players on; it was cool that it was basically a giant screen and could display teams or animations based on what it was being used for.
Wish we had seen a new Pokémon Winds and Waves announcement though!
