The first ever Pokémon Game Show is happening this weekend in Tokyo and The Pokémon Company has something really interesting set up for competitive players. A special battle arena will be set up and battlers will be able to play each other for the chance to play one of many special guests that have been lined up for the weekend — including 2010 – 2012 World Champion Ray Rizzo (Ray). The other guests have impressive resumes as well, with Shigeki Morimoto, Battle Director at Game Freak, being the most alluring. Players will also be able to battle the staff of popular Sunday morning children’s show Pokémon Smash. To play these stars, trainers will need to win three battles against their peers to be brought up to the big stage. There will be two age divisions: one for elementary age players (same as the CoroCoro Cup) and one for all ages.
Aside from the battle competition, announcements for the video game, trading card game, and anime are all expected. This will also be the first event that Pokémon X and Y will be playable. The demo will feature Mega Evolutions so we should have more information on how it works by the end of the weekend. Stay tuned to our Twitter account for any updates we get!
