Pokémon VGC players fear desolation of local events after next month’s new changes

Big changes are coming to Pokémon VGC local events, and players are worried it’ll kill the scene.

Today, the Pokémon VGC community woke up to new changes regarding local tournaments for next season. According to a June 17 post on X (formerly Twitter) by Pokémon Professor Stephen L Kent, the 2024-2025 season is set to begin on July 1. This is already a sticky situation, considering the 2024 World Championship isn’t until August. In other words, competitors will have to split focus between attending locals for next season while also preparing for Worlds—if they qualify, that is. That isn’t the biggest issue for VGC players, however.
