Wow. This should be interesting. People only have 5 months to raise entirely new teams.

I agree with the both of you. I hate why they always put stupid rules in it and its gonna be hard to raise a entirely new team for it. Hopefully I will be able to go to one of these tournaments. I have tried for the last 3 years but havent gotten a chance to go because its either to far away or I am racing on the date of the nearest tounament.

Oh hey I'm going to be in San Diego in August.

Too bad I hate the stupid rules that they implement in these tourneys, so I don't think I will be attending. Plus getting in the finals would be pretty hard, haha.

The fact that it's double battles only is what really throws me. We'd be able to use the Gen V pokemon a lot more freely if it were single battles. With these rules, everyone is going to be using Jellicent and Ferrothorn.
