But the best part of the Pokémon genre is the " Pokémon Battles," in which players compete against other Pokémon trainers (players) from around the world.

How will the 2022 championships be held?

Pokémon tournaments have been held on various scales, but in recent years, they have had to be cancelled or scaled back in light of the situation caused by infectious diseases.
The Pokémon World Championships, an annual world championship, has been canceled for two consecutive years, in 2020 and 2021.

Unlike 20 years ago, when communication cables were necessary, we live in a wonderful age where we can play with people all over the world even when we are far away from each other.
I can't wait for the day when we will be able to communicate without hesitation all over the world using Pokémon as a bridge.
