Pokémon World Championships Video Game Finals September 18, 2014

A few weeks ago, Nintendo held the Pokémon World Championships from Washington D.C.  At this event, the best real-life Pokémon Trainers in the world got together and battled in both the Video Game and Trading Card Game to determine who was the very best like no one ever was.  You can watch our review of the event here.

Nintendo and The Pokémon Company streamed the event live on Twitch.TV as it took place, and while it was a great stream with lots of great matches, there was a lot of empty space between those matches, where all the feed would offer was a “We’ll be back soon” message for what felt like hours.  Since the event concluded, I was hoping Nintendo would put a copy of the video of the two day feed on YouTube with the breaks conveniently edited out.  Unfortunately that hasn’t happened yet, but The Pokémon Company has uploaded the final matches from that event for each of their three age divisions in their entirety.  So if you missed the event, or just want to rewatch these three great matches, here are the final video game matches of the Pokémon World Championships.  Check them out!
