This championship is an annual esports tournament where Pok\u00e9mon Trading Card Game players are invited to compete for monetary and other rewards. Championships up to date have been held solely in the United States and Canada, only veering away from this tradition once last year when the event took place in the United Kingdom. In order to celebrate the big occasion, a week-long activity-packed event, Pok\u00e9mon Worlds Celebration Events 2023 is currently being held in Yokohama&#8217;s Minato Mirai 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230810-20685-001-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230810-20685-001-1.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230810-20685-001-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230810-20685-001-1-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230810-20685-001-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230810-20685-001-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230810-20685-001-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230810-20685-001-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230810-20685-001-1-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230810-20685-001-1-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/20230810-20685-001-1-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the event\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/worlds.pokemon.com\/en-us\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">official website<\/a>, unlike the Championship tournament, which is an invite-only event for trainers, the week-long Worlds Celebration Events are available to the public with ticket purchase. The event seems to have a lot of Pok\u00e9mon-themed activities for fans to participate in, as many fans have flocked to the internet to post their time engaging in the festivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the first things participants traveling to the event via the Minato Mirai train line may notice are the automatic ticket gates with limited-time Pok\u00e9mon WCS original designs. Apparently, these gates say a variety of Pikachu\u2019s \u2018pika\u2019 phrases once a passenger passes through them. Additionally, as part of a limited time release, the train line also released special limited edition Pikachu-themed one day pass tickets to commemorate the championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u304a\u306f\u3088\u3046\u3054\u3056\u3044\u307e\u3059\u3002\u6a2a\u6d5c\u306e\u307f\u306a\u3068\u307f\u3089\u3044\u99c5\u306e\u6539\u672d\u306b\u3001\u30d4\u30ab\u30c1\u30e5\u30a6\u304c\u9cf4\u304f\u81ea\u52d5\u6539\u672d\u6a5f\u3002\u8db3\u8de1\ud83d\udc3e\u901a\u308a\u6539\u672d\u5185\u304b\u3089\u5916\u306b\u51fa\u308b\u65b9\u5411\u306e\u307f\u300c\u30d4\u30ab\u30d4\u30ab\u30c3\uff01\u300d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%83%9D%E3%82%B1%E3%83%A2%E3%83%B3WCS2023?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u30dd\u30b1\u30e2\u30f3WCS2023<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PokemonWCS2023?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PokemonWCS2023<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/yokohama?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#yokohama<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E6%A8%AA%E6%B5%9C?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u6a2a\u6d5c<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%81%BF%E3%81%AA%E3%81%A8%E3%81%BF%E3%82%89%E3%81%84?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u307f\u306a\u3068\u307f\u3089\u3044<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/pokemon?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#pokemon<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/pikachu?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#pikachu<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%83%9D%E3%82%B1%E3%83%A2%E3%83%B3?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u30dd\u30b1\u30e2\u30f3<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%83%94%E3%82%AB%E3%83%81%E3%83%A5%E3%82%A6?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u30d4\u30ab\u30c1\u30e5\u30a6<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hsExHBLa0Z\">pic.twitter.com\/hsExHBLa0Z<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u3068\u3057\u304a (@fujiko_f_toshio) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fujiko_f_toshio\/status\/1689070679877095425?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 9, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><font size=\"2\">Post translation:<\/font><\/strong><font size=\"2\"> Good morning.

The deck was set to release on the 28th of July, however many of the cards mysteriously ended up on Japanese marketplace apps more than a week before their official release with significantly higher prices (<a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/20230727-20328\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Related Article<\/a>). It seems that some fans are unhappy with the presence of resellers price-gouging the event\u2019s items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems as though Japanese and overseas Pok\u00e9mon fans are enjoying all of the celebration\u2019s events so far, excitedly engaging in everything from battles to dancing. Although some fans are wary of scalpers price gouging the event&#8217;s merchandise, the reception to the event\u2019s first days seem to be overwhelmingly positive. The 2023 Pok\u00e9mon World Championships tournament will take place on the 11th and activities surrounding the championship will continue until the 14th. It looks as though there\u2019s still much more to look forward to for this activity-packed Pok\u00e9mon celebration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pok\u00e9mon Worlds Celebration Events 2023 has fans from around the world in Yokohama for Japan&#8217;s first WCS tournament.
