• The 2015 Pokémon World Championships took place in Boston, Massachusetts for the first time ever. It was a three-day event, where anyone who met the Championship Point threshold was invited to play in Day 1 on Friday. Of which consisted of 7 Rounds, anyone with a record of 4-0-3, or 5 wins, moved on to Day 2.

• Day 2 (Saturday) consisted of the above players that made it through a rough Day 1, as well as the Top X players from throughout the season, seperated by region, found below. Day 2 was also 7 Rounds long, but resulting in a Top 8 Cut. All Top 8 and Top 4 matches were played out that night, saving each division's Grand Finals for Sunday.

• This event was the first Worlds that didn't include a Last Chance Qualifier. Each World Championships from 2007 - 2014 had an LCQ.
