Among the competitors were plenty of kids and teenagers, and there were even more among the spectators. It feels like a family event, which could not be further from the testosterone-infused, quasi-adolescent vibe of other competitive gaming events. There were colouring-in tables and fairground games in the corner, and a giant inflatable Pikachu hung over the flashy stages where players were competing.
The Pokemon Company has leaned into the games' competitive scene, organizing and live-streaming regional events that culminate in one finals tournament in an exciting location. The top-ranking players from the regionals all get to go on a dream summer holiday.
