The Pokémon World Championships is an annual event that Pokémon fans around the globe eagerly anticipate. It’s always a highly exciting time, not just because of the race to crown a new champion, but also due to the thrilling surprises that often accompany the event. The tournament usually hosts special events to celebrate, and you might even get exclusive Champion Pokémon. This year, the competition is being held in Honolulu, Hawaii, a familiar location that has hosted this major event three times before. The event has become even more intriguing as Tsunekazu Ishihara, CEO of The Pokémon Company, has promised some special news for Pokémon games.
Tsunekazu Ishihara revealed that when the closing ceremony takes place on Sunday, August 18, there will be “special news” for Pokémon games. Last year, exciting news about the MOBA game Pokémon Unite was announced, so fans are eagerly awaiting similar announcements this year.
Many fans are holding high hopes for some news regarding the game Pokémon Legends: Z-A. This game is promised to be released in 2025, but a specific release date has not yet been revealed. There are many rumors suggesting that the game will be released in late 2025, and many believe that Pokémon Legends: Z-A will bear similarities to its predecessor, Arceus.
Another possibility is that fans will receive updates about Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket. This game is expected to launch in 2024, but no specific release date has been set. Perhaps that release date will be announced during the closing ceremony. So, fans should stay tuned until August 18 to see what surprises The Pokémon Company has in store!
