The Pokémon video games have their own set of tournaments which usually parallel with the Trading Card Game. One of the first instances of a major video game tournament was the [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America]], where tournaments were held as part of the tour. The first Video Game National Championships was held at the [[Party of the Decade]] on August 8, 2006 at {{wp|Bryant Park}} in {{wp|New York City}}. In 2008, at the TCG World Championships, a special Video Game Showdown was held. Players were separated into Junior and Senior Divisions. This tournament would evolve into the [[2009 World Championships|first formal World Championships]] for the Pokémon video games in 2009. | [[File:Video Game Championships logo.png|thumb|right|Logo for the Pokémon Video Game Championship Series worldwide.]]The Pokémon video games have their own set of tournaments which usually parallel with the Trading Card Game.

Regional Championships are held throughout the year, usually alongside the TCG. These events offer up to 200 Championship Points. In some countries, Regional Championships are replaced by Special Championships, which give the same Championship Point yield but no prize money. | |||
