Following the viral success of Pokémon junior player Simone Lim<\/a>, there’s perhaps an even bigger spotlight on the world of competitive Pokémon.  <\/p>\n

The Oceania International Championships<\/a> was the first major Pokémon tournament of the year, as players aim to earn points towards qualification for the Pokémon World Championships<\/a> in London later this year.  <\/p>\n

The Pokémon Collinsville Regional Championships isn’t on the same scale, but there’s still plenty going off at the event. Here’s how you can watch the latest tactics.  <\/p>\n

When is the Pokémon Collinsville Regional Championships?  <\/h2>\n

The Pokémon Collinsville Regional Championships take place from Saturday 29th February to Sunday 1st March at the Collinsville Gateway Convention Center in Illinois, US. <\/p>\n

At the event, there’ll be tournaments across the Pokémon trading card game (TCG) and Pokémon Sword & Shield (VGC), with each split between age divisions from Juniors (age 10 and below), Seniors (11-15), to Masters (16+). <\/p>\n
