2002 Pokemon World Championships

On August 3 – 4, 2002, Wizards of the Coast would host their first and only Pokemon TCG World Championships in Seattle, Washington in America. This would also be the first-ever event officially called the “Pokemon World Championships” for the TCG.

The event was held in the Washington Convention Center, and invited players from all over the world to play. Alongside the main tournament, there were also multiple side events for attendees to play at.

World Championships 2002 venue

These events were the precursor to the much more long-lived Pokemon World Championships hosted by The Pokemon Company International, starting with the 2004 Pokemon World Championships.

Format

The tournament format would be played in the new “Modified” format. This format was to go into effect for all Modified tournaments starting September 1, 2002. In this format, cards from the following sets were legal to play:

  • Neo Genesis (known in Japan as Gold, Silver, to a New World…)
  • Neo Discovery (known in Japan as Crossing the Ruins…)
  • Southern Islands Collection (known in Japan as Southern Islands)
  • Neo Revelation (known in Japan as Awakening Legends)
  • Neo Destiny (known in Japan as Darkness, and to Light…)
  • Legendary Collection
  • All Wizards Black Star Promos, except Ancient Mew and Birthday Pikachu

In addition, one non-promo card was banned: Sneasel from the Neo Destiny set.

Sneasel is one of the most infamous cards in the early competitive TCG scene. It was the first card to be banned by Wizards of the Coast in competitive play, and in Japanese tournaments it was restricted as a 3 star Hall of Fame Card, meaning that only 1 copy could be in a deck. Several factors led to Sneasel’s dominance:

  • As a basic Pokemon, its “Beat Up” attack was able to do an average of 80 damage for 2 energy, with a maximum of 140. At the time, Base Set’s Electabuzz was next runner up, dealing 40 damage for 2 energy along with a risk of hurting itself for 10 damage.
  • It had a free retreat cost
  • It had no weakness
  • It resisted Psychic Pokemon (which were very powerful at the time)
  • Darkness Energy cards that were needed for “Beat Up” increased a Pokemon’s damage by 10 per card, which meant that using the attack have a guaranteed +20 damage.
  • Sneasel avoided the 1 damage counter per turn drawback of Darkness Energy due to its Dark typing.

Qualification

Players could qualify for the 2002 World Championships through a variety of methods. The main path was through the Pokemon TCG Challenge Series. There were only two age groups for this tournament circuit: “10 and Under” and “11-14”. Competitors were only from North America and Europe.

Gym Challenges

Gym Challenges were smaller tournaments held at local game stores or in public venues like shopping malls.

Players who placed 1st place in a Gym Challenge received an invite to Worlds. High placements also received acrylic trophies with Pokemon figurines encased inside.

Stadium Challenges

Stadium Challenges were high-level premier tournaments with higher k-value (40K). They were much larger than the Gym Challenge tournaments.

Players who placed 1st – 4th place in the 11-14 age group, and players who placed 1st or 2nd in the 10 and Under age group received an invite to Worlds.

Similar to Gym Challenges, top placements received acrylic trophies with encased Pokemon figurines.

Super Trainer Showdown 2001

Top winners of the 2001 Super Trainer Showdowns also received invites to Worlds. These were the largest tournaments of the 2001 circuit and were the predecessors to the 2002 Stadium Challenges. There was a west coast and east coast tournament, with winners of both getting invited.

Japanese Invitees

No Japanese players competed in the tournament due to scheduling issues. Battle Road Summer 2002 ran concurrently to the tournament and thus Japan was unable to determine top rankings in time to send players.

Two Japanese players, Keisuke Miyadera and Yasuhiro Murakami were invited as special guests to play with international players, but not in the official tournament. Both were champions of the Early Championss League. Miyadera had also previously placed in the 1998 Lizardon Mega Battle, 1998 Kamex Mega Battle, 1999 Secret Super Battle, and Champion Road 2000.

Participation Gifts & Merchandise

Unlike the 2004 World Championships (and all ones after), there were no exclusive promo cards given to competitors or attendees at this World Championships.

All competitors received a special t-shirt and baseball cap.

Tournament Structure

The 2002 World Championships would take place over the course of 3 days (August 2 – 4, 2002).

  • Friday (August 2, 2004): Open Tournament (in future Worlds would be known as the “Last Chance Qualifier Tournament”)
  • Saturday (August 3, 2004): Main Tournament Day 1 (4-5 Swiss rounds)
  • Sunday (August 4, 2004): Main Tournament Day 2 (Swiss rounds into top 8 cut)

Open Tournament

For players who didn’t receive an invite before the tournament began, Wizards hosted an Open “Grinder” Tournament for aspiring players to earn a Worlds invite.

The 2002 World Championships venue

This tournament was held at the Worlds venue with the current year’s Modified format card list that was played at the Gym and Stadium Challenge events. This included the following sets:

  • Team Rocket (known in Japan as Rocket Gang)
  • Neo Genesis (known in Japan as Gold, Silver, to a New World…)
  • Neo Discovery (known in Japan as Crossing the Ruins…)
  • Southern Islands Collection (known in Japan as Southern Islands)
  • Neo Revelation (known in Japan as Awakening Legends)
  • Neo Destiny (known in Japan as Darkness, and to Light…)
  • All Wizards Black Star Promos, except Ancient Mew and Birthday Pikachu

The main difference was that players in the Grinder could use cards from the Team Rocket expansion, but not cards from the Legendary Collection reprint set. This meant that they could use the same decks that they’d been competing in during the 2002 Challenge circuit tournaments.

The tournament’s registration began at 2:00 PM local time, with a $5 entry fee. The Open Tournament would begin at 3:00 PM.

Both “10 and Under” and “11 – 14” age groups would play 4 rounds of a single elimination tournament. Four players in the “10 and Under” group advanced to the Main Tournament, while eight players in the “11 – 14” group made the cut. In total, 64 players competed in the “10 and Under” Open Tournament, and 87 players played in the “11 – 14” group.

Players in each age group played 5 rounds of Swiss. Swiss style tournaments pair players against each other during each round based on their record in previous rounds. So in round 3, for example, all players who are 3-0 played against each other and all players who are 2-1 would play against each other. This continued until there was a well-defined list of player rankings.

A player’s overall ranking was determined by point total. Players got 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss.

The top 24 players in the 10 and Under age group and the top 32 players in the 11 – 14 age group would go on to day 2 of the tournament.

Day 2: Main Tournament & Finals

On the second day of the 2002 World Championships, the top 24 players in the 10 and Under age group and the top 36 players in the 11 – 14 age group would play rounds of Swiss to determine a top 8 for each each group. Their points from the previous day’s 5 rounds of Swiss carried over to determine pairings.

Once the rounds of Swiss were over, the top 8 in each age group would play a single elimination tournament to determine the world’s first official Pokemon TCG champions. The younger age group took only 3 rounds to determine a top 8, while the older 11 – 14 age group played 4 rounds.

Dylan Austin won the 11 – 14 championships with his Dark Feraligatr deck against Bryson Bonham’s Slowking and Umbreon deck. This final match was a bit strange, as both Dylan and Bryson each lost a game to disqualifcation due to accidentally shuffling, so they only played one actual game to completion, leading to Dylan’s victory.

Winners of the tournament would receive sealed Pokemon product and exclusive merchandise from Wizards.

Japanese Staff Meet & Greets

Also in attendance at the 2002 World Championships were various Japanese staff members. These included employees of Pokemon Card Laboratory (PCL) who designed the game, as well as illustrators like Mitsuhiro Arita.

Professor Challenge

Because the 2002 World Championships only had a tournament for the two younger age groups, 15+ players were instead invited to compete in the Professor Challenge. This was played with a different format from the rest of the tournament, with all cards from the original Pokemon Base Set to Neo Destiny legal.

This “Base – Neo” format had a far more diverse metagame than the modified format played for the main Worlds tournament. Alex Brosseau would eventually win this event with his “Metal Chansey” deck, making him technically the TCG’s first “Masters” age group World Champion.

Legacy

The first ever Pokemon TCG World Championships would set the precedent for future international championships occuring outside of Japan. Unfortunately for Wizards, disputes between the US company and Nintendo caused them to lose distribution and licensing rights for the game.

This resulted in Wizards ceasing its involvement with the Pokemon TCG shortly after the 2002 Worlds event. Due to this, a 2003 World Championships was never held, and Nintendo would proceed to host the 2004 Pokemon World Championships the year after as the first “proper” Worlds for the TCG.
