Pokemon Reveals New 2022 Championship Series Details

[JustInBasil]

​​​​Pokemon has announced that points earned during the 2020 season will once again transfer into the 2022 season.

This list was previously occupied by only Australia and New Zealand.

I know many states now have online vaccine cards through the state health department. California, New Jersey, and Washington all have this implemented... just to name a few. I'm not sure if every state has this implemented, but if they do, it's a lot harder to fake your vaccine status if you're asked to show this record.
