There's some regionals in a lot of states, and luckily, there's one in Atlanta, 2 hours from where I live. I'm so excited. Me and my friend are traning heavily and are both going. Who knows, maybe I'll have to face him. (June 5th)

Anyone else going to there state's regionals?

Edit- here's a list: http://www.pokemonvgc.com/en/events.php

RESULTS: Lost first match. But it will onl strengthen my resolve to perfect my strategies. I enjoyed my time.
I took a few pictures.



I saw a cosplayer as none other then Ash Ketchum.....from Georgia.




I want that. This is the registration line and the middle area is where the matches are held.




Two guys we chatted about strategies and the 5th gen all the way to the registration line. I knew I should have gotten a way to contact them later on

I saved my match as a battle video. The battle video # is 61-84306-13873

Half the time, I don't even know where these things are held.

If there's one nearby (usually they have them in San Diego or something) then I might go, but I've never done so in the past.

My dad says he'll take me to the one in New Jersey if I get no D's.

So I'll have to make sure I'll get F's instead of D's.

Well we are moving so we won't have any extra cash for plane tickets, otherwise I would have gone. Next year I will definitely go. Maybe if I'm lucky we could even drive there next year! I would be even cooler if I could meet one of you guys there.

San Fransisco? Too far to drive. I'd have to fly and I can't afford a plane ticket for me and a parent to chaperone.

Ash, you're going, right? Keep us posted! I want to hear about what happens.

Well if I go I want everybody to root for me when I go.

Is it going to be double or single battle?

Man, I understand that it's pointless and not cost friendly for people to hold things in not heavily populated cities...

But man do I wish they'd at least hold one near where I live. 3:

The people who live in the middle of the country really got ripped off though.

It would be cool to go to one of these, but my parents would probably roll their eyes at the idea of driving me somewhere so that I could play Pokemon with complete strangers. Too bad too, since I could probably do well. Good luck Ash, and make us proud!

Yeah you corrected me before I edited my post, you're right. My mistake.

Oh god, I hate 4v4 Doubles. They're over too quickly and you need to plan out more strategies. Good luck.

Well I've just lost my motivation to go, I really don't like competetiv double battles because of the big startagy change and it means I'll have to change my team.

Update- I'm going this saturday, and wrapping up my team. It's a childhood dream come true.

These are the same rules they had at the begining of the Hoenn League in the anime.

Two problems with entering the VGC for me.
1. It's a 4 hour drive from me.
2. The qualifiers are already happened.

Updated first post with pictures, results, and a battle video number.

Did you get your shiny Eevee?

i wish i could go to a pokemon world championship too and a yugioh one too, but i couldnt go when these tournaments where in my state at some point cause we didnt have a way to get down to it.
