A '''Pokémon League''', often casually referred to simply as a '''League''', is a periodic gathering, typically weekly, of players of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] and [[Pokémon games|Pokémon video games]]. During a Pokémon League session, players battle and trade for fun. It is not a structured {{DL|Play! Pokémon|Local Tournaments|tournament}} and there are no regular "prizes" for winning. However, each player can obtain an official {{DL|Play! Pokémon|Registration|Player ID}}. Event organizers will upload player event play information to [[Play! Pokémon]], eventually resulting in [[#Current rewards|minor prizes]].

Most Pokémon Leagues meet once a week, year round, though some meet more or less than that. Some Leagues running once a month during only a certain time period. A lot of the time Pokémon leagues do tournaments called League Challenges that happens once a month. If you get in the best 4 players of this tournament, you get a "League Challenge Promo" stamped with your final placement. Leagues can also run "bigger" tournaments once every three months that are called League Cups. You get Championship Point in both of these tournaments and so, a league is the starting point to get a qualification for Pokémon Worlds.

Pokémon League logo

A Pokémon League, often casually referred to simply as a League, is a periodic gathering, typically weekly, of players of the Pokémon Trading Card Game and Pokémon video games. During a Pokémon League session, players battle and trade for fun. It is not a structured tournament and there are no regular "prizes" for winning. However, each player can obtain an official Player ID. Event organizers will upload player event play information to Play! Pokémon, eventually resulting in minor prizes.

Most Pokémon Leagues meet once a week, year round, though some meet more or less than that. Some Leagues running once a month during only a certain time period. A lot of the time Pokémon leagues do tournaments called League Challenges that happens once a month. If you get in the best 4 players of this tournament, you get a "League Challenge Promo" stamped with your final placement. Leagues can also run "bigger" tournaments once every three months that are called League Cups. You get Championship Points in both of these tournaments and so, a league is the starting point to get a qualification for the World Championships.

League Owner

A League Owner is the person who creates the League and who is in charge of maintaining a Pokémon League. The League Owner takes care of organizing League dates, to ensure that Play! Pokémon is aware of the League's existence in order to receive player rewards and other League materials. Additionally, the League Owner is expected to upload play information to Play! Pokémon when players play games and to hand out the promotions materials supplied to the League's players once they have been earned. The League Owner can designate other Professors to be League Leader and can assign some of these roles to them. A League can be deleted by the League Owner.

My Play! Pokémon

A current Pokémon League card
Main article: player ID

Upon registering with a Pokémon League, players receive a Play! Pokémon Player ID. Event organizers upload player event information that may then be viewed by a player, including games played, a player's Rankings, Premier Ratings, Tournaments (for Tournament Organizers only), or Leagues (for League Leaders only) on the Pokémon.com website.

At one time, players receive a physical Score Card made of a fold-able piece of card stock approximately the size of a small greeting card. The outer design of this card provided space for the player's name and Player ID. Inside the card were two sides, one for TCG matches and one for video game battles. Completing any row earned the player a League promotional reward. This entire tracking system has been replaced with the Play! Pokémon on-line tracking system.

Current rewards

Promotional cards earned in Pokémon Leagues, dubbed "League Promos", are exclusive to Pokémon Leagues. The cards are not traditional Black Star promotional cards; instead, these cards are foil, Play! Pokémon branded versions of existing set cards.
