As the pandemic has subsided in nearly every part of the world, The Pokemon Company has decided to organize the event after a two-year hiatus. This year’s championship will be held in London, and Pokemon Sword and Shield will be the primary game. The company recently released a comprehensive document addressing participants’ various queries. Notably, the document confirms that participants will not be required to have proof of a valid Covid-19 vaccine for participating in the Pokemon World Championships. The paper also contains a list of Covid-19 related protocols and guidelines that all participants must follow for the safe and smooth functioning of the event.
The announcement of E3 2022’s cancelation rattled many nerves in the gaming community as many were shocked by the news. However, gamers shouldn’t worry about the canceled E3 as they can get video game news from many other reliable sources like Nintendo Direct, PlayStation State of Play, and Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest.
Meanwhile, a particular section of the community believes the gaming industry needs E3, whether it’s digital or physical. The proponents of this argument mainly stress that E3 acts as a platform where the industry comes together as a single entity, regardless of the console, developer, or individual video game.
