The 2019 Pokémon World Championships have now come to a close after offering a thrilling 3 days of Pokémon-related competition amongst the dedicated community.
Given that these are the "world" championships, it's been a bit of a shame that the event has always been hosted in North America. However, that's all set to change as Brits (and Europeans, of course) will get a bit of an easier time as the championships are set to be held in London, England in 2020.
This seems like a welcome change to shake things up. Let us know what you think about London as the location for the championships with a comment below.

It's coming home!
@TheRealKyleHyde "Three Pikachu's on a shirt" just doesn't seem to have the same ring to it though
@TheRealKyleHyde
Friends outside of the UK, before you correct this. It's a pop culture reference to a 90's song he's made. We all know the home of Pokemon is in Japan. As you were
@FragRed three linoones on a shirt could?
It will be interesting to see the attendance numbers here given the flak Sword and Shield have been getting so far. But honestly, given how good the comp system seems to be in game, as long as the process for obtaining a competitively viable Pokemon isn't too difficult in this gen, I'm sure the attendance won't change.
Three Pyroar? Three Solgaleo? Doesn't really roll off the tongue, does it? Either way, super exciting news, I can't wait!
Hopefully this takes place before we've had a chance to build the (patent pending) Anti-Foreigner Brexit Barricade, seeing as it kinda depends upon welcoming in overseas visitors.
A nice tie in to the Galar region.
@blackbox64 Guarantee almost all of those who have been complaining about Sword and Shield (excluding anyone jumping on the hate bandwagon whom had no intention of purchasing regardless) will still buy the game.
Lovely. Someday I will live within a day trip of a Pokemon world championship and I will finally attend. Someday...
Just no willing to fly halfway around the planet or even halfway across a country. But if it were within the distance that I could leave in the morning and be home by night, either by train or car, then I'd finally go.
@blackbox64 I actually do think the attendance might be a bit lower this year, but not because of the hate the game got, just because it's on Switch. As well as the Switch is selling and has sold thus far, there's still a lot more 3DS out in the wild.
Cool. When do tickets normally go on sale for this?
@ImagineerNik my thoughts exactly
@Nookingtons All the nerd types I know are almost obsessively clean, lol
