    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    The Pokmon Company has confirmed that 2024s Pokmon World Championships will take place in Honolulu, Hawaii, and that it is donating $200,000 to support the states wildfire relief efforts.

    The location was confirmed during the final day of the 2023 Pokmon World Championships yesterday (August 13), in Yokohama, Japan, and will feature top-tier contests in Pokmon Go , the mainline Pokmon video games, and the Pokmon trading card game . Amid the devastation of the wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui, the company released a statement on Twitter to
    affirm its support.

    Our hearts go out to all those who have been impacted by the devastating wildfires in Hawaii, the statement reads. To support relief efforts, The Pokmon Company International is making an immediate monetary donation of $200,000 to its partner at GlobalGiving through its Hawaii Wildfire Relief Fund.

    Although many fans have been thanking the company for its donation, some have been expressing their concerns about the location of next years event, with one calling it the worst possible location.

    Now is NOT the time. My community is suffering and dealing with intense
    trauma right now. Just because the event is scheduled on Oahu doesnt mean we still have space and resources for yall. Please read the room. Do not come, Twitter user @miyajensen wrote .

    Please consider moving it to another island. I know these are planned out far in advance and Im happy to see [The Pokmon Companys] donations for wildfire relief, but its not a good idea to put a ton of tourists in a struggling
    area, @CraneGothurt tweeted .

    All of the winners of 2023s Pokmon World Championships have now been
    confirmed - the Video Game Championships (VGC) Masters Division Champion is Shohei Kimura, the Trading Card Game (TCG) Masters Division Champion is Vance Kelley, the Pokmon Go Champion is ItsAxn, and finally, the Pokmon Unite 's Champion team is Luminosity. However, all this could change come 2024.
