I was supposed to compete in the 2020 Pokemon World Championships today. Originally scheduled to kick off on August 14 and run through the weekend, the event would have brought together hundreds of pro Pokemon players to see who was the very best like no one ever was.

It goes without saying that during these troubling times there are much, much worse things to worry about than having your Pokemon tournament canceled.
