This year's Pokemon World Championships was packed full of announcements, including a reveal of a few new cards coming to the physical Trading Card Game. The Pokemon Company released a CG trailer showing off a bunch of Pokemon fighting each other before revealing a new Mega Evolved Pokemon card, Mega Charizard X EX, alongside a new card rarity.

The second 10-minute demo, short as it was, held the flashier attraction: a Mega-Evolution battle that served as a hefty, story-driven boss encounter. While Arceus had plenty of big, strong Pokemon to encounter in the wild, Z-A's addition of Mega Evolution lets players face beefed-up versions of regular monsters in longer, more challenging fights.
