@playpokemonWe can't forget the hype from all the top-level play at this year's #PokemonWorlds! Take a look back at our top moments from Championship Sunday across our games, with the full list available in the article below ⬇️
@dietona007Once again, Unite ends up being the least-watched game at the event. The brand failed to properly handle the product, judges and administrators didn’t know how to manage the tournaments, and the competitive level never reached a standard worthy of professional play.
@SpeediestChief2Wild to see GO basically equal to TCG after only 5 years in the circuit 👀 Thank you so much to everyone that tuned in to Worlds this year!! 💪
@tsareenafayeCan we maybe give the VG winners the same prize money as the TCG winners now pls?
