Pokécon Memphis is sure to be The Pokévent of the Season. This is the largest Pokémon-themed convention in the South. Whether you’re a fan of the anime, card game, or video game, we have something for you.
From the Game Boy Games that first brought us into the world of Pokémon to the immersive battles of recent years, Pokémon has challenged us to be the very best. Here at Pokémon, we take that inspiration from the anime in crafting an environment that inspires new friendships through competition. Our event challenges experienced trainers to prove their abilities through regional-style tournaments and invites new trainers to experience everything Pokémon has to offer.
They can trade and battle one another on games past or on the new Switch releases, Scarlet and Violet, which drop day one of our event. For those that want to take part in the collecting crazy, we’ll help young trainers build their first deck, learn the mechanics of the game, and challenge themselves in one of our many side events.
