Pokemon World Championships predictions.

Hey everyone! With the 2026 Pokémon World Championships coming to San Francisco this August (28th–30th), the hype is hitting an all-time high. Since it's the 30th Anniversary year, we know TPCi is going to go big.

Here is my ultimate wishlist for the closing ceremonies and beyond:

## 1. Pokémon "Winds and Waves" (Gen 10) Teaser

Since Winds and Waves was officially announced this past Pokémon Day for the Nintendo Switch 2, we’ve been starving for more than just those logos. I’m hoping for a "World-first" gameplay teaser. Give us a look at the Southeast Asian-inspired archipelago and maybe a glimpse of the Rock/Psychic-type Pokémon that’s been rumored to debut in the anime soon!

## 2. Pokémon Horizons: Final Arc Info

With the Wonder Voyage Arc starting this May, it feels like Liko and Roy are entering the home stretch. I want a trailer confirming the return to Paldea for a massive climax involving Terapagos and the explorers, plus a release window for the first Gen 10 tie-in episodes.

## 3. Pokémon Legends: Z-A – "The Mega Dimension" Update

Even though Z-A launched back in October '25, I’m wishing for a deep dive into the Mega Dimension DLC. We need more info on those new Mega Evolutions (Mega Raichu, anyone?) and what’s next for Lumiose City now that the "Mega Season" ranked battles are in full swing.

## 4. The 30th Anniversary "Legacy" Reveal: The Original Series Return

This is the big one. Imagine an announcement for a complete HD remaster/redub of the original journey:

* Style: DBZ Kai treatment—sharper visuals, cut filler, and 16:9 widescreen support.

* Production: Handled by a studio like Studiopolis for a fresh, high-quality English dub.

* Scope: The "Original Era" (Indigo League through Master Quest).

* The Hook: A new voice cast to bridge the gap for a new generation while honoring the 30-year legacy. 

Seeing Ash’s original journey get the modern "prestige" treatment would be the perfect way to celebrate three decades of Pokémon.

Let me know the comments, fans.
