We tend to think since Pokemon is “Old” it’s kind of wained. It’s still huge and the Pokemon Go will boost it even more. The 2015 Pokemon world championships had about a half million dollars in prize money and was invite only. Not like Amerrican Idol or something. You actually had to be invited by winning points at various other tournaments.
