New Orleans, Louisiana - 2024

Even though I stopped playing Pokémon competitively in 2020, I still have many friends who actively play the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Occasionally, I try to attend Pokémon Tournaments to reconnect with the community. When it was announced that the North America International Championships would be held in New Orleans, Louisiana for the first time, I realized I had to seize the opportunity to experience some nostalgia (by playing Pokémon) and explore a new city.
