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.
