Pokémon World Championships 2024 Official Dates
The Pokémon World Championships 2024 will commence on August 16, 2024, and will run until August 18, 2024. During the event, participants will be able to compete in four separate divisions of championship events at the Honolulu Convention Center, Hawaii. The divisions are as follows:
- TCG Championship Series
- VGC Championship Series
- GO Championship Series
- UNITE Championship Series
Each Championship Series in the event includes a unique game to compete in. The TCG participants will have to compete playing the Pokémon Trading Card Game against their opponents. For the VGC Series, one can play Pokémon Scarlet/ Pokémon Violet. Coming to the GO Championship Series, gamers can participate in Pokémon GO.
Lastly, the UNITE Championship Series features Pokémon UNITE. Each division will have a separate winner and will be crowned in their own participating game.
Last year, the event took place in Yokohama Japan, to a massive Pokémon-loving audience. Incorporating the same Pokémon games in the event, participants had a lot of fun interacting with others and competing in the Championships. This year, it is yet to be seen what the event holds for fans.
