Due to the horrific destruction that Japan has endured due to the recent 9.0 Magnitude Earthquake and Tsunami, The Pokémon Company have announced that the Japanese Video Game and Trading Card Game National Qualifiers for this year's World Championships have been cancelled.

It is currently unknown how or if this will affect other Regional and National qualifiers across the world or the planned World Championships in San Diego this summer.
