Who We Are

Pokémon has one of the largest, most diverse fan communities out there. The Bristol Pokémon Trainer Society (PokéSoc) brings together fans from all different branches of the franchise; whether you’re into competitive battling, the TCG, arts and crafts, Pokémon GO or anything else, we are a platform to meet others who share your passion for Pokémon and do all kinds of fun activities! We are part of Bristol SU and meet every Thursday from 6-8pm in 5.20 Senate House.
