Overview

The San Diego Regionals is an official TPCI Regional-level event for PokĆ©mon VGC, TCG and PokĆ©mon GO. As the first major event of 2023, this is the first Regional in North America to host an official VGC event in the PokĆ©mon Scarlet & PokĆ©mon Violet games. It is also the first Regionals of theĀ 2023 seasonĀ in the North American circuit.

The ruleset isĀ VGC Series 1Ā and, for the first time ever in Regional-level events, it will be played using open team lists.

Given that this will be the first live event for many people and the first in these games for everyone, theĀ organiserĀ releasedĀ a detailed explanation of the procedures and frequently asked questionsĀ on 25 December.

A little bit of history

The United StatesĀ 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 ChampionshipsĀ and almost all World Championships (only excluding 2013, 2022 and the upcoming 2023).Ā The United States’ greatest VGC success are the four World Championship wins achieved byĀ Ray RizzoĀ (2010, 2011 andĀ 2012) andĀ Wolfe GlickĀ (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 StatesĀ was theĀ 2022 North America International Championships, played in the VGC Sword & Shield Series 12 ruleset in June 2022. AmericanĀ James Evans, theĀ 2018 Senior Division World Champion, defeated BrazilianĀ Gabriel AgatiĀ in the NAIC finals. The last time there was an event in San Diego was theĀ 2020 San Diego Regionals, played in PokĆ©mon Ultra Sun & PokĆ©mon Ultra MoonĀ with the VGC19 Ultra Series ruleset in December 2019. The finals saw AmericanĀ Emilio ForbesĀ defeat fellow countrymanĀ Ashton Cox.
