The Pokémon Company has revealed more details regarding the 2023 Pokémon Championship Series. Read on below to learn more:
Reserve your spot to shop in Columbus.
With huge crowds of Pokémon fans expected to attend the Pokémon North America International Championships, a reservation system for the on-site Pokémon Center Pop-Up Store has been added to ensure a positive experience for everyone who attends. Visitors can reserve a specific time to shop, resulting in shorter lines and less of a wait. Reservations are strongly recommended, and walk-up visitors will be admitted only as capacity allows. Reservations are limited, so be sure to get your spot.
As a reminder, the Pokémon Center Pop-Up Store will feature Internationals-exclusive products, as well as a selection of other items carried at PokemonCenter.com. The store is open to the general public, so you will not need a participant or spectator badge to shop.
The reservation system is now live. Reserve your spot now.
