Pokemon 2026 championships

I work as a contractor for Creatures, and there's been some rumors going around in the workplace.

While officially put on a "delayed" status for registrations. Pokemon 2026 championships in Sans Fransisco has been internally cancelled, which is planned to be announced by next year if the situation does not resolve.

This is due to politics in USA becoming a liability and too unstable to the events. Despite the recent temporary ruling by the federal judge declaring that Trump's National Guard is not allowed to be deployed on California terrorist, they're worried about it being eventually upturned once the period expires on 19 Oct 2025.

The current situation makes it far easier to potentially attract damage to Pokemon's reputation and chaos on the event premises by having ICE invade onto event premises to wrongfully detain people in addition to international tourists who may be potentially be wrongfully flagged as suspects by ICE and Border Security.

They're considering about moving the event into Japan or either outright cancelling the event due to potential logistic issues of moving the events between two countries under short notice.
