Pokemon VGC 2012
Speevy making a topic outside of PASBL? World ending confirmed for legit.
But no, with VGC fast approaching I thought I might as well make a topic about it. Some regionals have already taken place but most of the smaller regionals and UK nationals are happening within the space of the next few months. I'll be attending the UK nationals at the Birmingham NEC myself~ So what is VGC? The video game championships is a tournament run by Nintendo, or at least Pokemon Organised Play (google would remedy that but...) every year since around 2008/2007, the latter being JAA. Since then it has spread worldwide and become a yearly staple. Winners of the regionals get travel money to and a chance to compete in the nationals for a chance to win a trip to Hawaii and a place in the worlds tournament where the Worlds take place, so it's well worth giving it a try~ The rules vary year to year but follow a similar 4 on 4 doubles format, with the Pokemon you can use changing year to year. For the past few years it's been using the wi-fi rules and have 6 choose 4 where you can pick what Pokemon you use according to your opponents team and choose the order of your 4 accordingly. For those who are skeptical about doubles it's purely so things move faster as all matches have to be done in on the day. In addition there's a 1 minute time limit for moves and a 15 minute limit overall, so no stall wars. VGC battles are fast paced and last 4-5 rounds. Either way it's a fun event where you can trade and battle with practically anyone and everyone. The atmosphere is great assuming you're big on Pokemon (which is a given here, right?) and extremely exciting if you're entering the actual tournament. Is anyone thinking of entering or attending this year or tagging along to see what it's all about?
