The online hub for the 2014 Pokémon World Championships has launched and this year it will be taking on a new form. Rather than the style used in the past several years, it looks more like what we had during the US National Championships with the focus on the embedded video stream, Twitter feed, and image feed! The hub will also feature online pairings, standings, news updates, interviews, and team info through the weekend straight from the media team at Pokémon.
Stream Schedule
The stream this year will start with the Opening Ceremonies at 9AM on Saturday, August 16th and continue on to cover the Swiss rounds of the video game. We expect the Top 8 and Top 4 match to also be on stream before it finishes off the night with some TCG games.
On Sunday, we’ll have the Top 4 TCG Masters Division match at 9AM before moving onto the finals of each age division. Once TCG is over, we’ll move to the video game finals of each age division starting at 3PM and end off with the closing ceremonies at 6PM.
It will definitely be a weekend you want to block off time for with over twice as many battles to watch as last year!
Aegislash Distribution
This year’s event distribution is actually the evolved form of a Pokémon on the logo: Aegislash. Holding a Sitrus Berry and with the moves Shadow Ball, Flash Cannon, King’s Shield, and Wide Guard, this Aegislash should be a well-sought after capture for those who’ve wanted to test out Wide Guard without the harsh breeding chain involved!
Stay Tuned
Remember to keep an eye on both the Worlds hub as well as Nugget Bridge for the latest information throughout the World Championships! We’ll be updating our Twitter account as well as we have in previous years.
