Announcing the 2009-2010 League Cycle: Trainer Challenge!
The 2009-2010 league cycle launches on September 21st, and Trainers everywhere will be grabbing their cards and gathering at their local leagues to have fun!
Starting with the Rival season, players of all ages will be able to enjoy all-new seasonal themes based on the toughest Pokémon Trainers in the Sinnoh region, earn all-new league rewards, and even earn credits toward our revamped Player Rewards program! This cycle also marks the first time that the Pokémon League features prizes specifically for Pokémon video game players!
League Rewards
Each season, players will have a chance to earn two different promotional cards. The cards will
be printed in a new foil pattern never before used on any other Pokémon card, and not only do they
look amazing, but they are also cards that competitive players will be happy to include in their
favorite decks! For example, Rival season will offer players a chance to earn Snorlax and Uxie—both
of which are popular and instantly recognizable!
In addition to the promo cards, players who play in multiple league seasons and meet certain goals will also have the opportunity to earn unique league-themed Nintendo DS™ skins! These DS skins are available exclusively through league participation and will be rewarded every other season.
For a complete list of cards you can earn as league rewards, and for more about how you can earn all four of the new league-themed Nintendo DS™ skins, check out our league page in the coming weeks!

Make Sure You Get in on the Action!
A Pokémon League is the perfect place for you to get together with other fans of the Pokémon Trading Card Game and the Pokémon video games and have some fun. Even if you don’t know all the rules of the game, a league is the perfect place to pick up the basics!
Leagues are held in safe public locations, such as game stores, community centers, or libraries, and are run by official League Leaders. To find existing leagues in your area, simply click here:

If you and your friends would like to join a Pokémon League but there are no existing leagues nearby, don’t let that stop you! As long as you have that safe public location and someone is willing to take the job of League Leader, you can start your own league!
