The Coolest Stuff We Saw At The 2019 Pokémon World Championships
The Pokémon World Champions are upon us! The event hosts several competitive events (for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Ultra Sun & Moon, Pokkén, and Pokémon Go), but it's also a fairly large convention of its own, where fans of Pokémon can meet up, play a few games, lounge around, or visit the Pokémon Center shop, which has items exclusive to Worlds.
We've walked the show floor and various other areas and managed to (Pokémon) Snap a few photos of the event!
First off, the show floor. It's massive! Not only is there a convention hall filled with all sorts of demos, player halls, and more, but the adjacent areas are also decked out with some familiar characters.
While we were running around the hotel snapping photos, we also caught up with Victoria, a young Alolan Vulpix cosplayer!
The show floor also has a small gift shop where you can buy lots of Poké-themed items.
Of course, if you want the really cool stuff, you'll have to head to the Pokémon Center store, which has a number of World-exclusive items, themed around the Washington, D.C. area and a general archaeological theme.
There's tons more to buy in the store, even outside the exclusive items.
So there you go! Although Worlds is a much bigger event than these photos can really convey, this should give you a good idea of what the show is like. It's a good time.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
