Pokédoko Pokémon Card Club: Everyone’s Evolution Camp! is an in-person stage program in Japan for children who already love the physical Pokémon Card Game and those who have never played. Tied to TV Tokyo’s Pokémon variety program Pokémon to Doko Iku!?, it plans to select 600 children of elementary-school age or younger by lottery across three event dates in Chiba and Osaka.
Beginners can join with a guardian alongside
The pass is for children of elementary-school age or younger. Advance lottery entry is required, participation is free, and consent and attendance from a parent or guardian aged 18 or older are mandatory.
Three dates split between Chiba and Osaka
The Chiba event will take place on Oct. 25 at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Halls 4–7, with 300 places planned. INTEX Osaka Hall 6, Zone B will host the Osaka dates on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, with 150 places planned for each day.
Applications run through LINE and Sekanavi
Applications for this pass run from Sept. 6 at 7:30 a.m. to Oct. 2 at noon, with lottery results scheduled for Oct. 9 at 5 p.m. All listed times are Japan time. The Scramble Battle and general-admission passes have different application windows.
Applicants proceed from the Pokémon Card Game event operations LINE account to the Sekanavi tournament platform. One application can register up to four people in total: one child applicant, one guardian, and up to two companions. Each person may apply only once, and applying earlier does not improve the lottery odds.
Battle entry is reserved for the winning child
Only the winning child applicant may use this pass to enter one of that day’s 30th Celebration Scramble Battle sessions. Guardians and companions can watch and take part in side events, but this pass does not let them enter the battle.
Pokédoko member Ryogo Matsumaru is scheduled to appear on the special stage. Morning and afternoon sessions are planned, and pass winners may attend either; exact stage times will be announced later.
Snackgirls react
Red — I want to learn the rules alongside children picking up the cards for the first time, then play a match together. Their reaction after that first game would be the best part!
Nea — Welcoming complete beginners while requiring a guardian makes the setup feel reassuring. I'm curious how the morning and afternoon sessions will differ.
