Pokémon Worlds just wrapped up, and in the closing ceremonies, Pokémon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara confirmed multiple updates for several games, and one huge surprise. After a performance by Ed Sheeran live at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California, Ishihara took to the stage to introduce a flurry of news, as is customary with the end of Worlds.
Announcements include Pokémon Champions, Pokémon Go, Pokémon TCG, and even confirmation of the next Worlds. Here’s all the details on everything confirmed, including the return of Pokémon to a form of media that fans have been asking for a long time.
Pokémon Go is adding an extra charged attack (bringing the total up to three choices when battling), which is going to significantly alter how battles play out from now on, including in future Worlds events. They can be brought into all levels of the Go Battle League.
As for Pokémon Champions, the current format for competitive VGC play will add more Mega Evolutions, including Mega Lucario Z and Mega Absol Z.
As far as the TCG is concerned, Mega Lucario Z is entering the fray as a Mega Evolution Pokemon ex, plus there's a new ex* series on the way....
