The Pokémon League World Championships, like any other international sporting event, is held in tradition with the Olympics, World Cup, Pokeathelon, and Grand Festival every four years.

The Pokémon League: World Championships is simply a tournament like any other Pokémon League in which Trainer and Pokémon can test their bonds and training through the ultimate test by competing against some of the greatest trainers in the world.

Being an international event, the World Championships have seen some truly exotic, rare, exciting and simply quirky Pokémon and victories alike, making it a thrilling watch even for those who are not competing or able to attend. With such diversity we've seen trainers from all walks of life, and it's nice to see that even with so many cultures representing people are still willing to gather in the spirit of Pokémon.

In fact, the Pokémon World Championships have known to be as much of a romantic event as well as international event. Many times in the past we've seen couples win through double battling, and be crowned King and Queen, (or sometimes King and King/ Queen and Queen) of Pokémon. But that doesn't make it exclusively for couples.

More times than not we've seen brilliant solo Pokémon be able defeat two Pokémon on the field of battle. Single victors who are skilled enough to win the tournament are rightfully crowned as Pokémon Champion. But not so fast.

Before they may claim that title they must first pass one final test, and it's equally as difficult as winning the tournament all together: defeat last tournament's Champion. If the Champion wins, they may keep their title, and if the Victor wins, they are crowned as the new Champion of All Pokémon Leagues.

For those new trainers hoping to compete, the rules of the tournament are simple and absolute: You must have at minimum one Pokémon registered to fight, and at maximum six Pokémon registered. To be eligible to compete, you must have 8 fairly won Gyms Badges. You must register one week before the tournament begins, and once in the tournament, if you lose, you are eliminated from the tournament completely.

It has been confirmed that The Pokémon League World Championships are to be held this fall in the tradition Kanto/Johto Landmass. From now until then Trainers have six months to prepare for the tournament. Who knows what kind of victories we'll see this year. Until then, happy training Trainers! Good luck to you all.
