A division of the Pokémon Company that doesn't seem to be separately notable. I've been researching competitive Pokémon extensively and have searched this subject several times and found very little discussing them, even in passing mention. Nearly everything they do is already covered extensively at Pokémon World Championships as they act primarily as that event's organizers, and their organization of local events isn't covered at all from what I can find, bar one Inverse source discussing the role of "Pokémon Professors", which doesn't even mention Play! Pokémon at all. What little that is sourced in the article either hails from PRIMARY sources or unreliable ones, bar three sources, which are either ROUTINE coverage or TRIVIALMENTIONS, and what little mentions I could find on this topic do not seem to be enough to establish anything other than that the company exists and nothing more. Due to a lack of SIGCOV and the existence of only ROUTINE coverage or TRIVIALMENTIONS, it fails WP:NCOMPANY. I would argue for a Redirect to the World Championships, seeing as that article covers the bulk of what is in this one already while also acting as an associated topic.
