Des Plaines Public Library Pokemon League

Des Plaines Public Library, Neighbor

Pokemon League provides a nearby place for you to get together with other fans of both the Pokemon Trading Card Game and the Pokemon video games to have some fun. Using your own cards, a Pokemon DS game, or the new Pokemon card game online, you can play, trade, and earn cool prizes, all for free!

Even if you are just a beginner, at league you can learn all the rules of the game. Joining a league is the best way to hone your skills to compete in bigger Pokemon tournaments where players win great prizes like cards, medals, and even scholarships!

Advance registration is not required to attend. (but don't forget to bring your cards!)

Parents of children under 13 are required to fill out a simple online registration (after your first visit) with the Play! Pokemon program in order to receive free prizes.

NOTE: Due to popularity, the Pokemon League program is being extended. Any future changes in the schedule will be posted on the library calendar, as well as our Pokemon League Twitter page at #DPPLPkmnLeague.
