Overview
The Milwaukee Regionals is an official TPCI Regional-level event for Pokémon VGC, TCG and Pokémon GO. It is the ninth Regionals of the 2023 season in the North American circuit, and, pending an announcement, very likely the third in the travel award race for the 2024 season’s first IC.
The ruleset is VGC Regulation Set C and it will be played using open team lists.
A little bit of history
The United States has been part of the North America region of the official TPCI circuit since the very beginning, also being home to the TPCI headquarters. It has hosted multiple major events, including Regional Championships, old-era National Championships, all editions of the North America International Championships and almost all World Championships (only excluding 2013, 2022 and the upcoming 2023). The United States’ greatest VGC success are the four World Championship wins achieved by Ray Rizzo (2010, 2011 and 2012) and Wolfe Glick (2016), not even counting being the home country of 6 Senior Division and 5 Junior Division World Champions too.
The most recent tournament held in the United States will be the 2023 Hartford Regionals, played in May 2023. The finals saw Chinese Tang Shiliang defeat American Ryan Haig to achieve his first-ever major title.
The last time there was an event in Wisconsin was the 2022 Milwaukee Regionals, played in Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield with the VGC Series 12 ruleset in June 2022. The finals saw Chinese Zhang Zhe defeat American Nathaniel Sitler to achieve his first-ever major title.
American James Evans, the 2018 Senior Division World Champion, defeated Brazilian Gabriel Agati in the NAIC finals.
