The Pokemon CompanyThe Pokemon Company is offering players the chance to enter a lottery to earn a Spectator Badge for the 2023 Pokemon World Championship. Here’s how interested trainers can enter for a chance to win.
The 2023 Pokemon World Championship event is on the horizon and eager Pokemon fans are looking forward to seeing plenty of great competitive play across multiple different games in Yokohama, Japan.
While there are ways that fans can easily watch the Pokemon Worlds from the comfort of their own home, The Pokemon Company is offering fans the chance to earn Spectator Badges to attend the event in person.
