Pokemon's Official Twitch Channel Accidentally Leaked Two New Regionals

From TheGamer (Written by Jack Coleman) on | OpenCritic

Officially, Pokémon has only announced four regional championships: Milkwaukee, Las Vegas, Toronto and Seattle, as well as the North American International Championships (NAIC) in New Orleans, and the World Championships in San Francisco.

However, Pokémon's official Twitch channel has seemingly leaked two more regional championships in the region. As pointed out by prominent VGC player Chuppa Cross IV, dates for Orlando (April 4–5) and Indianapolis (May 30–31) were included in the channel's schedule, despite no official announcement from Pokémon. These schedules have since been removed.

If these leaks are correct, that would mean we have the locations for six of eight of this season's North American regional championships. Players have speculated that the final two events could take place in Los Angeles and San Antonio, with one in early March and one in early May.

If the date for Indianapolis is correct, then the event will take place just two weeks before NAIC on June 12. This isn't necessarily out of character for the circuit, since last year's Los Angeles Regional took place just nineteen days before NAIC.

The Orlando Regional Championship is set to take place on the weekend of Easter, which is still widely celebrated in North America....
