You may have a good point there. Ken Ishihara traditionally shows up at Worlds and drops some new video game / TCG news on us. So we could hear about Champions as early as August!

Yeah. It wouldn't even surprise me if something was said at the close of NAIC, even.
Thing is, the main games need longer gaps. We're in the midst of that now. When I say Scarlet and Violet are the best worst games in the franchise, it's not a joke.
At the same time, VGC needs more formats and variation. Lot of my CC friends are struggling. Champions can theoretically solve that! Maybe it won't always be where VGC is played, but could host it. Or the mainline games will mesh with it.
Very true! There’s a lot of potential here. I’m going to try not to raise my expectations too high, but my anticipation for any news is definitely higher than I care to admit!
Yeah, definitely have to keep the expectations in check. Good choices have not always been made with this franchise. But this seems like the best solution to the problem.
Imagine...
An overall format that's long. And inside it, variables change every say, 2 months.
Like maybe the first two months, youve got 2 gimmicks. Next, they change what pokemon are available. Maybe you have like a Unova or Galar league. Or a ban list.
Big hope (but not expecting it) would be to make custom format tournaments.

But think of the formats we could have!!!

A lot is unanswered as of yet. But we hope. 👍
