The final announcement that wrapped up the closing ceremony was the announcement of the locations of the next two Pokémon World Championships. The tournament will be held in Anaheim, California in 2025, and will stay in California and then head to San Francisco in 2026. The Pokémon Company has held the event every year since 2004 (except for 2020 and 2021, which were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic), and it's been held almost exclusively in the United States. The 2013 World Championships were held in Vancouver, London hosted the 2022 show, and surprisingly, 2023 was the only year the event was held in The Pokémon Company's home country of Japan. I'm glad to see it return to the continental US, at least. Now I can actually make the trip.
All in all, it was a light series of announcements this year, as I know many were hoping to hear more Pokémon Legends: ZAThe Kalos-based RPG was announced at Pokémon Day Presents in February, but was only teased through a concept trailer, meaning we still don't know much about the game other than that it will be set entirely in the metropolis of Lumiose City.
