An event called Pokémon Masters 2005 was held in Paris from September 17–18, 2005. It was organized by many fan sites, including [[Pokémon-France]], and was sponsored by official companies including [[Nintendo]] and {{wp|Bandai}}. The event included championship battles for {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] championship tournament (the latter of which was the official introduction of [[Play! Pokémon|Pokémon Organized Play]] in France). Additionally, the event featured a demo of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] (which would be released in Europe two months later, in November 2005), displays of anime and game merchandise, and distributions of the [[AuroraTicket]]. | An event called Pokémon Masters 2005 was held in Paris from September 17–18, 2005.
