For the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the [[Pokémon Tropical Mega Battle]] was an international Pokémon Trading Card Game tournament held annually from 1999 to 2002 in Hawaii by [[Wizards of the Coast]] (the distributor of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in many regions outside of Japan at the time). Players from Canada, Latin America, Europe, the United States, and Japan were invited to the event. After Wizards of the Coast's license to distribute the Pokémon Trading Card Game reverted to The Pokémon Company in 2003, this event was replaced by the Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships.
