Professional Pokemon Trading Card Game player Alessandro "iCaterpie" Cremascoli stated that he was permanently banned from future Play! Pokemon events after he complained on social media that a judge had treated him unfairly during a recent tournament. As of this writing, Pokemon has not publicly commented on iCaterpie's ban from competitive play.

The Pokemon Company continues to release new sets and host events across the globe. Following the launch of the 30th Celebration set, the upcoming Pokemon TCG: Mega Evolution — Delta Reign expansion will launch worldwide on Friday, November 6. Delta Reign will have over 135 cards for players to collect. Pre-release events will be held at participating card shops across the globe starting Saturday, October 24.

The developers of Pokemon TCG Pocket announce big changes coming to the mobile game, as part of an effort to improve things for players.

Despite having a competitive career that spans over 25 years, one Italian player has been permanently banned from future competitions. iCaterpie stated on October 16 that he dedicated over two decades of his life to teaching the Pokemon TCG to players across his home country of Italy. However, after posting a complaint that alleged he received unfair treatment from a Pokemon TCG judge, iCaterpie said that he received a notice that he would no longer be allowed to attend Play! Pokemon events. Though the complaint was deleted six hours afterward, Pokemon TCG content creator JenTCG stated that calling out the judge by name was the likely explanation behind The Pokemon Company's decision to ban the Italian competitor.
