Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Worlds 2011 - San Diego, CA USA

For next year's Worlds in 2011, I have a very strong feeling that will it be in Orlando, FL. I think this because one should note that there always happens to be a cycle every year for a worlds location. In fact, the locations always seem to rotate between Orlando, San Diego, and Hawaii most of the time. Take a look below and you can see what I mean.

2004: Orlando, Florida
2005: San Diego, California
2006: Anaheim, California
2007: Kona, Hawaii
2008: Orlando, Florida
2009: San Diego, California
2010: Kona, Hawaii

Okay, once, there happened to be a Worlds in Anaheim, but it should be noted that 2010 seemed to have skipped Anaheim as a worlds location, even though it seems like Anaheim should've been the spot to host Worlds this year. Thus, this means that Orlando, Sand Diego, and Kona are/have been the primary locations for worlds, and based on what we see, Orlando, seems like the strongest possibility.

However, because of the fact they skipped Anaheim for 2010, Anaheim does have a good chance of being a Worlds location for 2011, especially since it has been somewhat rumored that next year's worlds might be in California once again.

As for what would be my wish for a worlds location next year? Well, I would definitely wish that worlds will be held in Chicago in 2011. I think this because I think Chicago should be cheered up a bit after it was the first city to be kicked out in the 2016 Olympic Bid. Chicago also has a lot of great tourist sites, like the Sears Tower and some of Chicago's museums, that will be great for any that goes to worlds for vacation too. Of course, I kind of doubt that Chicago will be a worlds location, but still, I wish that Chicago will host a Pokemon worlds competition someday.

Otherwise, Orlando is the most probable location for next year's worlds. Anaheim can be another likely possibility, and I do wish Chicago will one day host worlds.

I dont think worlds is going to return to anaheim. They skipped it for a reason and i'm sure that reason means that pokemon is not returning to anheim again. So that means there are 2 options for locations, Orlando or somewhere new.
 
I say it should be Northern US to allow Canadians to go easily lol. Pick Ohio, Michigan, New York, whatevs, I want it closer than Hawaii.

That being said, I'll see everyone in Hawaii lol, aloha Pokemon :p

don't be hating the anaheim location
 
Bring it to chicago. i dont see a reason not to. if space is an issue all i have to say is the mccormick place you can hold like 4 worlds and 10 nats in the piece and still have room for a car show.
 
Definately closer to canada but not too close cause worlds is the perfect time to take a vacation. Maybe ssomewhere near Cape Cod.
 
No offense, but I don't want it to be in Florida, despite that being as close as Nats in terms of driving distance. Florida is hot and humid in the summer, just like North Carolina. I don't want to go for more of the same muggy weather. Upstate New York would be gorgeous, or something like that.
 
In terms of logic, it has to be in FL. I've heard from a few different people that that's unlikely, but I hope that's untrue. I can only imagine the poopstorm that would happen if Worlds were on the west coast (essentially) 3 years in a row. I think the east coast deserves a little love every now and then.

In terms of what I want to see, California or Hawaii would be great, but the latter is very unlikely and would cause an even bigger poopstorm than the aforementioned one.
 
I would seriously be angry if they put it in somewhere like Hawaii AGAIN. -_-
California or Florida make the most sense - California leading in that logic. It's cheap, it's not far from where TPCi is located, and, I'm sure they can find a reasonable venue no sweat. It's never deviated from these places since Nintendo took over, so I don't see that cycle changing any time soon (if ever).
 
I may just be throwing this out there to be destroyed by all you people whom want it close to your home... Dallas, TX we have a huge international airport. located on I-20 one of the biggest highway in the US and its a major city with lots of room.
 
Has anyone currently in Hawaii seen any indication about where it is next year?

We are looking for confirmation.... NOT speculation or wishful thinking...

Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaase make it somewhere on the East Coast. Or for that matter, anywhere other than Hawaii would be acceptable for me.
