The Pokémon Company donates hefty $200,000 to support wildfire relief in Hawaii

The closing ceremonies for the Pokémon World Championships are used as a time to look forward at the franchise’s upcoming projects, but The Pokémon Company used this year’s event to important relief efforts going on in Hawaii—along with a sizable donation.

The 2023 Pokémon World Championships, which just concluded in Yokohama, Japan, on Aug. 13, closed with TPC president Tsunekazu Ishihara confirming that the event will be held in Honolulu, Hawaii next year. That was swiftly followed by sharing a message of support for the individuals and groups helping with relief efforts on the islands as they continue to deal with dangerous wildfires.
