‘False hope’: The Pokémon Company slammed after huge miscommunication with Worlds invitees
The Pokémon Company is in hot water after a miscommunication crushed one World Championships invitee’s dreams of attending the biggest international event of the year.
On Aug. 6, South African Pokémon TCG player Josh Lillie posted on X (formerly Twitter), explaining his current situation regarding the World Championships in Honolulu, Hawaii next week (Aug. 16 to 18). According to the pro’s statement, Lillie was told by Play! Pokémon back in June that he’d earned a Travel Award to help pay for travel expenses to attend. This came as a surprise considering any qualified South African competitors were supposed to be excluded from receiving Travel Awards.
