New Rules

Here's a link to the new rules: [1]. --Seevea of The Blackened Halls 16:25, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

• Note that this is unlikely to be all the rules, however, it offers some of the base rules used. --Seevea of The Blackened Halls 16:26, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

What about previous tournaments?

There have been official Pokémon tourneys since Gen I. Why aren't they covered by Bulbapedia? Golden Trainer (talk) 21:10, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

• Good question. I've considered adding information about the four Super Trainer Showdowns (2000-2001) and both Worlds (2002 in Seattle and 2003 in GenCon Indy), but I wanted to gather more information before starting them, instead of just making a stub for all of them. For the record, I was unsure about which of either of these article formats would be more ideal for these tournaments:

• Individual Articles but Kinda Stubby; each of the following as their own articles (and as their name)

• 2000 West Coast Super Trainer Showdown
• 2000 East Coast Super Trainer Showdown
• 2001 East Coast Super Trainer Showdown
• 2001 West Coast Super Trainer Showdown
• 2002 World Championships (TCG)
• 2003 World Championships (TCG)
• The issue is that there isn't much information out there outside of what I wrote for my site back in the day, so they might be a bit short and stubby.

• Combined and Detailed; each of the following as their own articles (and as their name)

• Super Trainer Showdown
• World Championships (Wizards)
• In this case the article would at least be more detailed, with each specific event as their own section, but it kinda conflicts with what already exists (ie 2004 World Championships (TCG), 2005 World Championships (TCG), etc...)

I guess I never really worked out which one would be best, so I never got around to starting these articles myself.

That said, for the record and the eventual article for it, here were the 2001 West Coast STS qualifier dates:

• Sep. 8 San Francisco, CA
• Sep. 15 Memphis, TN
• Sep. 15 Philadelphia, PA
• Sep. 15 New York, NY
• Sep. 15 Salt Lake City, UT
• Sep. 16 Roanoke, VA
• Sep. 22 Orlando, FL
• Sep. 29 Dallas, TX
• Sep. 29 Chicago, IL
• Sep. 29 Raleigh, NC
• Oct. 6 Las Vegas, NV
• Oct. 13 Denver, CO
• Oct. 13 Eugene, OR
• Oct. 13 Houston, TX
• Oct. 13 Minneapolis, MN
• Oct. 13 Syracruse, NY
• Oct. 14 Kansas City, KS
• Oct. 14 Washington, DC
• Oct. 14 Toronto, ON
• Oct. 20 Atlanta, GA
• Oct. 27 Albuquerque, NM
• Oct. 28 Boston, MA

I remember the San Francisco one, because it actually took place at Neutral Ground in Mountain View, and it was only a couple days before the 9/11 attacks. I forget if the qualifiers intended for Sept 15-16 were cancelled or postponed, especially the New York City one.

Anyways, that's all I have right now. I plan on adding more information, but not until I gather all the information necessary for the article. – Nick15 (talk) 06:13, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Further for the record — I found basic info I wrote up about the 2000 ECSTS, as well as a copy of the STS logo:

• tour dates
• Prop15 outline

... this should be enough to frame a skeleton outline for the 2000 ECSTS article/section. – Nick15 (talk) 06:35, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Pokemon World Championships Template

Considering PWC is shaping up to be a major tournament in the New Series, I made a template that shows the participant in this tournaments, similar to how we have been doing such templates for regional leagues in the anime. I am just sharing this here, so maybe it can be important enough to mainspace sometime later. - unsigned comment from Riox-Ibui (talk • contribs)

Riox-Ibui , please sign your comment. I recommend showing it to an administrator, Make a user page and show it on the discussion page of one of them.Hikaru Wazana (talk) 12:24, 05 April 2020 (UTC)

I have already put this template on my user page. Thank you. (Rioxイブイ 12:36, 5 April 2020 (UTC))

Move

The official name of the tournament is "Pokémon World Championships"; i'd suggest we move this accordingly. 4iamking 21:10, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

Seconded. The individual tournament pages from 2009-2022 should be moved, too. 2002 and 2023-onwards already have the proposed title scheme. I'd argue 2004-2008 are also already fine as-is since they are currently under the TCG disambig, but I'd be okay with moving them to match if people want. RotomAmiti (talk) 21:33, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

yeah it's about time this page and the subsidiary pages are moved. really the complicated thing is the TCG thing as mentioned above (+ relinking everything, i suppose). ~ Anzasquiddles ~ 2222(:D)SSSS (talk) 09:25, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, this is definitely a good idea. And as noted, we should also rename the individual pages for each year's event accordingly as well. SnorlaxMonster 12:17, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

One other thing I wanted to throw out that should probably be taken care of when we do this is merge Pokémon Video Game Showdown 2008 onto the 2008 page, since despite the branding used in the initial VGC year it was still a co-located event. 4iamking 13:43, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

I disagree with merging in that case. The event was named "Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championship 2008", and featured an invite-only video game event. The Video Game Showdown was not the World Championships of a video game tournament series. (But this can be discussed separately on the talk pages of those two articles.)
