The 2016 Pokemon world championships are coming

Pokémon players from more than 35 countries will converge on the San Francisco Marriott Marquis Hotel for the 2016 Pokémon World Championships from August 19–21. The Pokémon World Championships will feature players who qualified throughout the 2016 Championship Series season, all competing to be crowned the next Pokémon TCG, Video Game, or Pokkén Tournament World Champion...and for a piece of the combined prize pool of more than $500,000.

We'll once again have four streaming channels going, so you can catch as much of your favorite event as you'd like.
