Pokemon Says World Championships "Have To" Move Outside the US, But There's a Catch

The Pokemon World Championships are supposed to represent the entire world, so it only makes sense that the event itself would move around every once in a while. Pokemon has done exactly that before, taking Worlds to places like Canada, London, and Yokohama, but the event has remained in the United States for the last few years, including two consecutive stops in California. According to The Pokemon Company's Director of Global Esports and Events Chris Brown, though, that isn't something Pokemon wants to become the norm.
