The 2009 Pokémon World Championships were held at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront hotel in San Diego, California in the United States from August 13 to 15, 2009. They were the sixth World Championships event hosted by Play! Pokémon and the first to officially accommodate both the Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships and the Pokémon Video Game World Championships.
For the first (and only) time, the World Championships were held between a Thursday and a Saturday, breaking from the traditional Friday to Sunday format.

Junior Division
Tristan Robinson, of the United States, was the defending Junior Division TCG World Champion, but became eligible for the Senior Division, where he finished 101st in Swiss Rounds.
Tsubasa Nakamura, of Japan, fought his way through the Last Chance Qualifier and posted a perfect 12-0 record to claim the World Championship.
