World Championships |
|
The 2022 World Championships was held at ExCeL London in London, United Kingdom from August 18 to 21, 2022. It was the seventeenth invitation-only championships for players of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the twelfth for players of the Pokémon video games, the fifth for players of Pokkén Tournament, and the first for players of Pokémon GO and Pokémon UNITE. This was the second time the Pokémon World Championships were held outside of the United States, following the 2013 World Championships in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Invitations for the Trading Card Game and the video game events were awarded to players who accumulate enough Championship Points throughout the season. Invitations for Pokkén Tournament were awarded to the top placements at three International Championships and players from Japan. There were also Last Chance Qualifiers held for Pokkén Tournament.
The World Championships were initially intended to be held at ExCeL London from August 14 to 16, 2020, but were canceled along with the 2020 Play! Pokémon Championship Series as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, being moved to August 2021.[1][2] The World Championships were subsequently moved to 2022.[3]
A pop up Pokémon Center was opened during the 2022 World Championships.[4]
Trading Card Game Championships
