The ongoing Pokémon World Championships features a brilliant homage to the pair of games that started the franchise, sharing a stunning display of an iconic scene. The annual tournament typically serves both as the highest level of tournament for the different branches of the Pokemon franchise and a celebration of the series' rich history. The 2025 World Championships tournament looks to be no different, with the ongoing tournament featuring lots of surprises between the video games and the Pokemon Trading Card Game. However, the event is offering plenty more for fans beyond its tournaments.
The Pokemon Company typically pulls out all the stops to make each year's World Championships a grand occasion for fans. Pokemon GO is running its own event throughout the weekend to coincide with the World Championships, both featuring a special Pikachu and releasing a new code for an in-game shirt. The Pokemon TCG also rolled out a special promo card as part of the event, giving fans the chance to pick up a unique Pikachu card with a World Championships stamp. The main event now features a brilliant homage to Pokemon Red and Blue.
