The CK Daily – A Pokémon-Filled Weekend
Happy Monday!
It was definitely a busy weekend for us! On Friday the World Pokémon Championships kicked off, and my friends and I had a little digital watch party on Discord. To make it even more fun, I ran a contest to see who could accurately predict which decks would be played and which archetype would take the win. It added a whole new level of excitement to the weekend!
Saturday morning our local game store held a World Championship celebration tournament, and my wife and daughter decided to join in just for fun. They did great, and somehow all three of us ended up in the top 8! It was a casual event, but still a blast—and we each walked away with a nice promo Pikachu card, which was a cool bonus. Later that day we celebrated my oldest daughter’s birthday a little early at my parents’ house.
The rest of the weekend was pretty much all about Pokémon. I caught as many matches as I could and on Sunday we watched the final rounds together. There were also some exciting updates about the upcoming 2026 Pokémon season, which looks like it’s going to be another amazing year for the TCG.
I hope you have a great day and a wonderful week!
