              During the opening ceremony of the 2025 World Championships, The Pok\u00e9mon Company president and CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara made an appearance to welcome all the trainers to this year’s event.<\/p>\n

              There are no announcements at this stage – traditionally, news for each game is shared during the closing ceremony on Championship Sunday. This year, for the “first time ever” in the history of competition, the finals are being held in an arena.<\/p>\n
