every year in the United States called the Pokemon World Championships?

join the competition in the USA. That’s a lot of gamers!
Everyone from children, teenagers and adults are welcome to join!

This year, in the video game category, a Taiwanese boy named Wu-bi won first
place in the children’s category.

win in the competition, and his brother was very proud!
