On April 30, 2023, Pokemon China would launch the Great Tournament series, a tournament series themed after the “Super Ball” (translated as Great Ball in the West) item from the Pokemon franchise.
Launched in 2023 to complement the high-level “Master Tournament” championships in Tier-1 cities, the Great Tournaments brought organized play to a wider range of cities and players.
Each Great Tournament was a multi-division open event (with Junior and Senior age brackets alongside Masters/Open) featuring Swiss rounds and a single-elimination top cut, typically run over one or two days. Entry was free and participation was huge – often approaching 1,000 or more players in the Open division alone.
The 2023 season featured six Great Tournaments, each named after its host city (Qingdao, Wuhan, Xiamen, Shenyang, Xi’an, and Tianjin) and roughly spaced throughout the year. These events showcased the rapid growth of the Pokémon TCG community in China, with attendance climbing from 829 players at the first tournament in April to around 1,300 by year’s end.
Over the season, the metagame evolved significantly: early tournaments were dominated by powerful Tag Team GX decks from the Sun & Moon era, while later in the year newly introduced Sword & Shield-era Pokémon V/VMAX strategies rose to prominence as older cards were phased out.
Age Groups
Similar to tournaments held in the West and Japan, these tournaments had age groups:
- Open Group: Participants must be 9 years old and above
- Junior Group: Participants must be 13 years old and above, and under 18 years old
- Children’s Group: Participants must be 9 years old and above and under 13 years old
Qualification
The first two tournaments, held in Qingdao and Wuhan, were open entry and had no pre-requisites to compete. If they were over capacity, a lottery was held to determine who would get to play.
Beginning with the third tournament held in Xiamen, Open Group (the oldest age division) would have to qualify via local qualifier tournaments held around the surrounding area. These were generally held a few weeks before the Great Tournament.
Childrens and Junior players were still able to go to the event and participate without playing in qualifiers if there was capacity.
Prizes
Competitors earned Championship Points and exclusive promo card prizes based on their standings. These promo cards were based on the Great Ball item card, and were stamped depending on the player’s final placement.
The first Qingdao tournament would reward SM-P versions of these Great Ball promos, while all later tournaments would reward S-P versions as the TCG moved into the Sword & Shield era. This makes the SM-P version far more rare, as they were only awarded at a single event.
The first place winner of each tournament was presented with their Great Ball in a plaque display
All other placements were given their Great Balls without a plaque in a transparent sealed pack.
Championship points awarded depended on final placement and total number of players attending
Qingdao Great Tournament
The 2023 Pokémon TCG Great Tournament Qingdao was the inaugural Great Tournament of 2023, held on April 30, 2023 in Qingdao, Shandong Province, at the Guoxin Gymnasium.
With free entry and no pre-qualification needed, it drew 829 players in the Open division, making it one of the largest TCG events in China at that time. The tournament used the Standard format (allowing all Simplified Chinese cards up to that date) and was run as a one-day event: ~10 rounds of Swiss, followed by a Top 16 single-elimination bracket for the Open division. Junior and Senior divisions were held concurrently with slightly smaller player counts and shorter schedules.
All participants received a special event pack, which contained 1 random card from below:
The tournament also had various side events, and participating in these would reward attendees with a special promo pack that contained 1 random card from below:
Metagame
Being the first major event in the region, players gravitated toward proven strategies from the late Sun & Moon era. In particular, Tag Team GX decks – especially Mewtwo & Mew-GX “Perfection” builds and Pikachu & Zekrom-GX (often called “PikaRom”) – were out in force and performed well. Other popular archetypes included “ADP” (the trio of Arceus & Dialga & Palkia-GX supported by Zacian V, known in Chinese as “三神”, meaning “Three Gods”) and various “Control” or one-prize decks like Blacephalon (“小丑”, “Clown”) that aimed to counter the Tag Teams.
Notably, Pikachu & Zekrom-GX decks enjoyed a resurgence – a famous player nicknamed “Master Zhao” had recently popularized a Jolteon-GX tech in PikaRom, and its strong showing in Qingdao rekindled enthusiasm for Lightning-type decks.
Results
The Qingdao final came down to a showdown between Tag Teams. In a closely fought match, a PikaRom deck triumphed over a Mewtwo & Mew-GX deck, with the Mewtwo player just missing victory at the final moment.
This win by PikaRom was considered a “brilliant victory” for the archetype and validated its strength in the early meta. The champion’s PikaRom list leveraged the high speed and disruption of cards like Electropower and Tag Bolt GX to overwhelm opponents, while teching against popular threats. The runner-up Mewtwo & Mew-GX “Perfection” deck showcased the versatility of copying various GX attacks (from Dragonite-GX, Espeon & Deoxys-GX, etc.), and remained a top contender going forward. Both semifinalists also piloted Tag Team variants – indicating how dominant GX cards were at this first Great Tournament.
Wuhan Great Tournament
The 2023 Great Tournament Wuhan took place May 28, 2023 at the Wuhan International Expo Center (Hall B6). Coming just one month after Qingdao, it saw an even larger turnout – approximately 1,299 Open-division players battled through a marathon one-day event. The format remained Standard (with the card pool updated through late May 2023) and the structure was similar: a single day of Swiss rounds (up to 10 rounds) followed by Top 16 elimination for Open, plus Junior/Senior brackets.
The Wuhan tournament marked the change from awarding Sun Moon-era promo cards to Sword Shield-era cards. All participants in the tournament would receive a random promo card from below:
The tournament also had various side events, and participating in these would reward attendees with a special promo pack that contained 1 random card from below:
Metagame
By late May, the meta was beginning to shift. The ADP/Zacian deck (“三神剑狗”, combining the “Three Gods” Tag Team with Zacian V from Sword & Shield) surged in popularity – ADP’s early-game GX attack to accelerate energies, paired with Zacian’s raw damage, proved both powerful and relatively straightforward, making it a favorite especially among newer competitive players.
In fact, ADP variants comprised about 30% of the field, the highest share of any archetype, and dominated many local pre-qualifier events leading up to Wuhan. However, the Wuhan tournament showcased a wide field. Mewtwo & Mew-GX (“超超梦”) continued to be heavily played and very consistent, reaching deep into the tournament again. PikaRom remained popular as well (it had won 5 of the Wuhan warm-up qualifiers, second only to ADP’s 6 wins), though in the main event PikaRom decks faced new challenges – many players teched heavy Item lock and Fighting techs to counter Lightning.
A notable rising star of the meta was the one-prize Blacephalon deck (often called “Baby Blacephalon” or “小小丑” to distinguish it from its Tag Team counterpart), which uses Blacephalon from Cosmic Eclipse to convert Prize cards into huge OHKO damage. This “Baby Blacephalon fire toolbox” archetype proved to be a meta spoiler, exploiting the prevalence of Tag Teams by trading Prizes favorably and running disruption like Reset Stamp.
Results
The Wuhan finals pitted two of the format’s titans: Mewtwo & Mew-GX versus Baby Blacephalon. In an exciting conclusion, the Blacephalon one-prizer deck managed to prevail and claim the championship. The winning Blacephalon build leveraged support Pokémon like Oranguru and heavy draw to string together consecutive high-damage “Fireworks Bomb” attacks, thereby overcoming the Mewtwo/Mew deck’s larger HP Tag Teams.
This outcome was significant – the Baby Blacephalon deck was seen as a dark horse that “burst through the gauntlet” of Tag Teams to win, showcasing the skill of its pilot (known by the handle “Xiao Ze”)bilibili.com. Meanwhile, Mewtwo & Mew-GX continued to demonstrate its resilience by finishing as runner-up and securing 3 of the Top 16 spots as well. ADP/Zacian, despite its numbers, underperformed at the top end – only 2 ADP decks made Top 16, and none reached the final.
This trend – newer players gravitating to ADP for its power, but experienced players finding counters – would continue into the next events.
Xiamen Great Tournament
The Great Tournament Xiamen was held on July 30, 2023 in Xiamen, Fujian, at the Xiamen International Convention Center (Halls B3–B4). This tournament marked the end of the “Sword & Shield 2.0” era in the Chinese format (equivalent to the Vivid Voltage expansion, or Simplified Chinese set 4.0) – a major new set would release shortly after.
As such, Xiamen was hyped as the last chance for certain decks to prove themselves before the card pool evolved. Participation remained strong, roughly on par with the prior events (estimated around 1,000+ players). The format and structure were the same Standard Swiss + Top Cut format, now including more Sword & Shield cards alongside the legacy Sun/Moon block.
Similar to the previous Wuhan tournament, participants would receive a random promo card from below:
The tournament also had various side events, and participating in these would reward attendees with a special promo pack that contained 1 random card from below:
Metagame
Xiamen’s meta was something of a “last dance” for the Tag Team era stars. Pikachu & Zekrom-GX (PikaRom), fresh off its Qingdao win, continued to be a force and was widely played. Many expected ADP/Zacian and “Fire Box” decks (Blacephalon variants and other Fire-type attackers) to contend for the title as well, since those had performed well in prior events.
However, players had also adapted with new tech from the latest sets – e.g. Eternatus VMAX (“无极”) decks began appearing, and Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX (if the Battle Styles set was legal by then) may have made an appearance, though these new VMAX decks were not yet as dominant as the older Tag Teams. Notably, PikaRom enjoyed a resurgence in popularity thanks to its success in April and consistent results; players were optimistic about Lightning-types possibly “ruling the format” in the absence of strong Fighting decks
Results
In the end, Xiamen turned into a showcase for Pikachu & Zekrom-GX once more. The PikaRom archetype captured the championship, marking its second Great Tournament win of the season. The winning player piloted a refined PikaRom list featuring speed enablers like Stormy Mountains and Crobat V for draw, and tech choices (such as Vikavolt V for item-locking or Raichu & Alolan Raichu-GX for paralysis) to handle a variety of matchups.
This victory was described by commentators as “PikaRom’s last dance” in the pre-rotation meta, since the upcoming format changes would soon retire many of its key cards. The runner-up in Xiamen was reportedly an ADP variant (ADP/Zacian), which finally managed a deep run after underperforming earlier – the ADP deck leveraged new tools like Zamazenta V (with ability to wall VMAXes) to reach the finals.
Other Top 4 decks included a Mewtwo & Mew-GX toolbox (still a perennial contender) and possibly a Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX deck (this powerful Psychic-type VMAX from Chilling Reign was just entering the Chinese meta and would soon rise to prominence). Xiamen’s outcome – with Tag Teams sweeping the top spots one last time – set the stage for a major meta shift as the format moved on to the next phase.
Shenyang Great Tournament
The Shenyang Great Tournament on August 27, 2023 (held at Shenyang New World Expo, Halls 4B–4C) ushered in the “Sword & Shield 4.0” era of the Chinese TCG. A new set had been released in early August, introducing powerful cards like Zacian V-UNION and new trainers, and the format was now fully in the Sword & Shield block (though Sun/Moon-era Tag Teams were still legal until the year’s end).
Shenyang’s event drew another large crowd (on the order of 1,000+ players) and was notable as the first major tournament after a significant meta update. Organizers and players considered this a fresh start, with many anticipating that Sword & Shield Pokémon V/VMAX decks would finally overtake the older Tag Teams in performance.
Shenyang’s tournament would continue to reward all participants with a random promo card, but the selection changed from the previous tournaments. Participants would receive a sealed pack with one of the cards below, with more holographic cards than previous tournaments:
Similarly, attendees who participated in side events would get a pack with a random card in it. This card list was changed from the previous 2 Great Tournaments.
Metagame
Despite the new cards, the Shenyang meta proved to be an intersection of old and new. ADP/Zacian remained extremely popular – the combo of Altered Creation GX plus Zacian’s “Brave Blade” was still seen as one of the most “high-stability” strategies for all skill levels. In fact, many expected ADP to win its first Great Tournament here.
However, Shenyang also saw the rise of Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX (nicknamed “Dark Horse” or “黑马蕾冠王” in Chinese) as a top-tier deck. Shadow Rider’s ability to accelerate Psychic energy and draw cards (with Underworld Door) gave it a dominant late-game presence, especially as it could flood the board with multiple Calyrex VMAX – this archetype quickly became the deck to beat in the new 4.0 meta.
Other decks present included Eternatus VMAX (a Dark-type “无极汰那” build, which naturally preyed on Shadow Rider if set up), Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX (decks using Rapid Strike Urshifu to counter both ADP and Dark Horse with type advantage), and some innovative combos like “Grass TT” (possibly a Leafeon or Celebi & Venusaur Tag Team deck) which had niche success. Notably, this was the last event where “Three Gods” ADP could be used without restriction – rotation was looming, so a few veteran players stuck with ADP hoping to finally clinch a title before it left.
Results
The Shenyang finals saw ADP/Zacian finally break through, winning the tournament in a close match against a modern Sword & Shield deck. The champion was an ADP deck (Arceus & Dialga & Palkia-GX with Zacian V), which validated the deck’s consistent performance throughout the year. The ADP player reportedly made careful tech choices (such as including Chaotic Swell stadiums and Cryogonal tech to slow down opposing setups) to edge out newer archetypes.
Xi’an Great Tournament
The 2023 Great Tournament Xi’an was held October 15 at the Xi’an International Convention Center This event was particularly historic as it was the final tournament of the year using the old “AB Standard” (Sun & Moon era) card pool – effectively a farewell to Tag Teams and Prism Stars before full rotation.
Organizers billed it as the last chance for players to utilize Tag Team GX cards in competition, and excitement was high. Attendance was again robust (likely around 1,200+ players). In addition to the main competition, the Xi’an venue featured numerous side events and attractions – from beginner lessons and 2v2 Team Tag Battles to a “Eevee Ribbon Tournament” exclusive for female players – creating a festival-like atmosphere for this finale of an era.
Like the Shenyang Great Tournament before it, participants would receive a random card from below:
Attendees who participated in the side events would receive a sealed pack containing one of the following cards:
Metagame
Given its status as the swan song for Sun & Moon cards, the Xi’an meta saw an all-out showdown between the classic Tag Team decks and the emerging Sword & Shield decks. Many top players brought Mewtwo & Mew-GX one more time, as the Perfection ability to copy a wide range of GX attacks made it adaptable against new threats.
Meanwhile, Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX (and its partner Shadow Rider Calyrex V, collectively nicknamed “Dark Horse”) was now fully recognized as a Tier 1 deck and had a target on its back – numerous competitors teched against it (e.g. including Dark-type techs or the Tapu Fini card which could counter Shadow Rider). ADP/Zacian remained in play (having just won Shenyang), and Fire Box decks (Blacephalon and other Fire attackers) were also expected to perform well. In local media, speculation before the event was that either a Fire toolbox or ADP might take the title – but as it turned out, neither did.
Results
The Xi’an championship title was claimed by a Mewtwo & Mew-GX deck, giving the Tag Team duo its first Super Tournament win of the year. The champion’s Mewtwo/Mew list was finely tuned for the diverse field – it reportedly included tech attackers like Espeon & Deoxys-GX (for spread damage), Solgaleo-GX (for energy acceleration), and even Greninja & Zoroark-GX to handle specific threats, along with the staple Mega Lopunny & Jigglypuff-GX which punishes V and GX-heavy decks.
In the final match, the Mewtwo & Mew deck faced off against a rogue Steel-type toolbox deck (dubbed “Steel TT” by spectators). The Steel deck – piloted by an inventive player who had also done well in city tournaments – featured cards like Lucario & Melmetal-GX (with its damage-reducing GX attack) combined with Bronzong and Metal Saucer engine, plus tech attackers including Zacian V and even Tapu Fini (which can one-shot a Fire-weak Urshifu or Blacephalon). This unconventional deck’s run was the Cinderella story of the tournament, but in the finals it was outmaneuvered by Mewtwo & Mew. The decisive moments saw the Mewtwo player expertly manage resources and use Reset Stamp at critical junctures, overcoming the Steel deck’s defensive tactics.
Thus, Mewtwo & Mew-GX was crowned the Xi’an champion, proving that even at the end of 2023 “Perfection” was still a top threat. The runner-up Steel toolbox (sometimes described as a “Steel TT & Bronzong” deck) earned praise for its creativity and nearly winning it all. With Xi’an concluded, the Sun & Moon Tag Team era officially bowed out; going forward, those cards would be retired from Standard play, making Xi’an a meaningful send-off event.
Tianjin Great Tournament
The Great Tournament Tianjin on November 26, 2023 at Tianjin Meijiang Convention Center (Hall N1) was the final Super Tournament of 2023 and the first of the new 2023–24 season’s format. By this event, rotation had effectively removed all Sun/Moon-era cards (“AB era” cards) from Standard, ushering in the “Simplified Chinese 5.0” format – equivalent to the Sword & Shield block up through mid-2021 sets.
This meant Pokémon V, VMAX, and VSTAR decks were now completely center stage, and older Tag Teams were no longer a factor (in fact, one player who attempted to use ADP was disqualified, as noted below). The Tianjin tournament was thus a fresh start and attracted another large turnout (~1,296 players in Open). Players and analysts were keen to see how the meta would shake out in the fully modern card pool.
With a new rotation also came a new set of promo cards. All participants would receive a sealed pack with one of the following random cards:
Attendees who participated in side events also received exclusive promo cards, though unlike previous tournaments there were only 3 available from a sealed pack:
Metagame
With Tag Teams gone, Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX (“Dark Horse”) emerged as the dominant deck in Tianjin. Statistics showed it had by far the highest usage and the greatest conversion rate into top cut – its ability to flood the board with energy and huge Psychic attackers made it a defining presence. In fact, over half of the Top 16 decks were Shadow Rider, a level of dominance rarely seen.
To counter this, a few archetypes tried to challenge Shadow Rider’s throne. High-stability “三神” (ADP/Zacian) decks technically weren’t allowed post-rotation, but interestingly one skilled player brought an updated Arceus VSTAR / Zacian V build (sometimes still nicknamed “三神” out of habit, though it ran no Tag Teams). This deck performed well and actually reached the finals – however, it faced a penalty because the player had included an older Arceus & Dialga & Palkia-GX card in their initial list (perhaps mistakenly or as a controversial move), leading to disqualification of that specific card though the player’s record stood.
Other anti-Shadow Rider choices included Eternatus VMAX (Dark-type, naturally strong vs. Psychic decks) and Single Strike Urshifu VMAX (whose Darkness-type G-Max One Blow could OHKO Calyrex VMAX) – these showed promise with a few making top 16, but their sample size was small. A “Grass TT” deck (perhaps referring to Leafeon VMAX or Celebi VMAX) also appeared but similarly in low numbers. Overall, Tianjin’s meta was considered “imbalanced” but also a clear indicator of what to expect in 2024: new powerhouse VMAX decks setting the pace.
Results
The Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX deck validated all expectations by winning the Tianjin Super Tournament. The champion was a Shadow Rider Calyrex list (often dubbed the “Black Horse Calyrex” deck in Chinese) that expertly leveraged its high ceiling and consistency. Throughout the event it posted a stunning win rate – one analysis noted it had over a 50% conversion rate from top 128 to top 64, meaning more than half of the players who ran it made deep progress.
In the finals, the Shadow Rider deck faced an Arceus/Zacian “turbo metal” deck (the aforementioned player who still called it a “三神” deck). That match highlighted Shadow Rider’s strengths: despite the metal deck’s attempt to rush with Zacian V and tank hits with Lucario & Melmetal-GX’s Full Metal Wall (the metal player had used the card in earlier rounds, though that card was technically rotated), the Shadow Rider player set up multiple Calyrex VMAX and overwhelmed with sheer damage output.
The final was a bit controversial due to the metal player’s decklist issues (their ADP-GX was not allowed in 5.0 format, so they could not actually use Altered Creation), effectively leaving them with a weaker Arceus VSTAR engine. In the end, Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX won decisively, and the archetype was cemented as the new king of the post-rotation meta. Notably, second place officially went to the Arceus/Zacian deck (since the player’s matches were allowed to stand despite the decklist error, with the problematic card disqualified).
The Top 4 was rounded out by two more Shadow Rider decks, meaning all podium finishers were running Psychic-heavy strategies. Tianjin’s results were a dramatic demonstration of a “solved” meta: Calyrex VMAX was so dominant that commentators described the environment as “pathological” – every non-Calyrex deck’s stats were too minor to be significant. This would prompt some meta adjustments and inspire counters in the following season, but as of the end of 2023, Shadow Rider reigned supreme.
Side Events
Each Great Tournament venue featured multiple side events, much like other large tournaments held globally.
Pokémon Cards Beginner Classroom
This event was meant for new or beginning players to learn how to play the Pokemon TCG. Trainers who participated in it would get a paper playmat.
Newbies welcome!
This side event was meant for Trainers to learn more advanced techniques. Preconstructed decks were distributed to participants to use.
Points were awarded based on the number of wins.
TAG TEAM Doubles
This side event was a 2v2 team event. Each team would compete in best-of-1 matches, with points being awarded based on the number of wins.
Fairy Eevee Challenge
This side event was meant to increase the representation of female Trainers playing the TCG. Only girls were allowed to compete in this event.
Points were awarded based on the number of wins.
Breakthrough
This side event had “zones” similar to the Children’s Group tournament. There were 0, 1, 2, and 3 win zones, with a player advancing to a new zone with each corresponding win. Upon winning a match in the 3-win zone, the player would make a “breakthrough” and win the competition.
Points were awarded based on the number of wins.
Battle Party Experience event (8-player competition)
This event had an entry fee of 28 yuan and was an 8-player competition. Participants had to use the Pokémon Card Mini App to register for the event. It utilized a new product made specifically for in-person side events called the Battle Party Pack.
Each Battle Party Pack includes eight 60-card decks that represent a different type, three Battle Master Reward Packs, one Battle King Reward Pack, a score sheet, and four cardboard sheets containing damage counters, Special Condition markers, GX markers, and a coin.
The cards from each deck are enclosed in three 20-card packs, which are held in a plastic wallet. Each pack bears the expansion code of the deck it belongs to, should the box contents become jumbled. The cards within these packs are always the same for each deck; however, each one has a chance to have all cards inside printed in Reverse Holofoil instead of the standard non-Holofoil.
Battle Master Reward Packs come in silver packaging and contain one random card from the Reward Packs’ regular card list. Battle King Reward Packs come in gold packaging and contain one random card from the Reward Packs’ Secret card list. All cards from the Reward Packs are Holofoil.
Trainers would randomly select 1 Battle Deck to compete in 3 rounds of Swiss Battles. Based on the actual battle results, 1 Battle King and 3 Battle Masters would be decided, and they would receive the gold Battle King Reward Pack and silver Battle Master Reward Pack included in the [Battle Party Pack accordingly.
Battle Party King’s Contest (64-player competition)
This event had an entry fee of 32 yuan and was an 64-player competition. Similar to the 8-player Battle Party Experience event, it utilized the Battle Party Pack product.
8 groups of 8 players would each open open one Battle Party Pack per group and compete in a 3-round Swiss tournament.
The 8 winners of each group would then open a new Battle Party Pack in the finals and use those decks to compete in another 3-round Swiss tournament to determine a champion.
The prizes for this side event differed depending on the Great Tournament that was hosting it.
All trainers who participated in the event at Qingdao and Wuhan received a promotional The Masked Royal promo card.
The champion of each event at Qingdao and Wuhan would also receive a full art etched holofoil The Masked Royal promo card.
This event was not held at the Xiamen and Shenyang events. It resumed with the Xi’an and final Tianjin tournament. Participants of these events would receive a stamped Olivia promo card.
The champion of each event at Xi’an and Tianjie would also receive a full art etched holofoil version.
Merchandise
Great Tournaments also had exclusive merchandise featuring the tournament’s branding. This was generally available to purchase from the on-site Pokemon Center pop up stores.
Legacy
The 2023 Great Tournament season in China was marked by rapid growth and shifting competitive dynamics. Attendance climbed steadily, reflecting an expanding player base and community enthusiasm in the first full year of official Pokémon TCG play in China.
Each tournament introduced new cities to high-level play – from coastal Qingdao and Xiamen to inland Xi’an – helping to spread the game’s popularity beyond the tier-1 metropolises. The events themselves were celebrated as mini-festivals of Pokémon, often featuring cosplay, side challenges, beginner’s workshops and prize fairs, which added to the Pokémon atmosphere and drew in casual fans as well.
Overall, the 2023 Super Tournaments were a rousing success, laying the groundwork for an even bigger 2024 season. They showcased China’s fast-growing TCG talent – several players from these events qualified for international competitions – and a community that adapted quickly to strategic shifts.
By the end of 2023, China had firmly established its own tournament circuit with its own emerging meta and champions, blending global strategies with local flavor. The Super Tournament series would continue into 2024, but the inaugural 2023 season will be remembered for its rapid evolution and the enthusiasm it ignited among China’s Pokémon trainers.
