Red: A team tournament sounds fun—I’d want to find people to compete alongside and see how we work together.
Nea: The range of card languages catches my eye. I’d like to see the team rules before deciding which deck I’d bring.
The first stop is KINTEX
The card-game division is scheduled for January 23–24, 2027 at KINTEX 1 Hall 1-2 in South Korea. For Korean Pokémon TCG players, the inaugural event offers a domestic tournament to watch for.
Seven card languages, with team rules still to come
The announcement lists English, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Thai and Traditional Chinese as eligible card languages. It does not yet give the team size, registration process or participant eligibility rules, so players will need to check the official details when they are announced before making plans.
