What this is
How access to the pop-up Pokémon Center store at the 2025 World Championships worked: timed 15-minute reservations, a lottery for scarce items, no event badge needed.
How it’s built
- Reported by PokeBeach, a Pokémon fan-news site: “You do not need a Worlds badge to enter the store.”
What we assumed
Nothing. The figure is used as published.
Sanity check
Because the store was open without a badge, its sales are not tied to ticket buyers; merchandise income at the event is separate from ticket income.
The value
- timed 15-min reservation slots; lottery for high-demand items; no badge needed
