Console game announcements and updates

World Championships and PokémonXP

The 2026 Pokémon World Championships were planned for San Francisco’s Chase Center. Competitors in the Video Game category would battle in Pokémon Champions; other championship competitions would use the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Pokémon GO and Pokémon UNITE. The Pokémon Company International’s February roundup reported that “Over three thousand players will battle in San Francisco this August to become the next World Champions!” This was a forward-looking figure attributed in the announcement to Pokémon Global Esports and Events Director Chris Brown.

The inaugural PokémonXP was planned for the Moscone Center alongside Worlds. Activities described in the announcement included interactive exhibits, pin trading, cosplay showcases, panels, hands-on workshops, an on-site Pokémon Center store and partner collaborations.

Trading cards and the Game Boy Jukebox

The Pokémon TCG segment showed classic cards and teased physical products commemorating 30 years of Pokémon, planned for release during 2026 in participating markets. The roundup did not name a set, box or card design, so the announcement supports a broad anniversary-product tease rather than a specific product identification.
